I'm surprised anyone does....just dont pay it not done it for years
just dont pay it not done it for years
BBC to scrap free tv licenses for over 75 year olds
Maybe you should look outside the box and thinking everyone you know is the same.I agree with it, some people don't have whopping big pensions or well off and those should get help.
This has got F all to do with, "Paying into the system" this is TV.
Even the winter heating allowance gets on my wick. Some couples who have pensions bigger than mine and the wife wages and we dont get it. If you can afford it pay for it.
Theres an old couple I know worth a small fortune more than me and the missus combined wages well off I'd say and he was moaning the other week when he heard it was on the cards so why tf should they be entitled to it ???. And if you take his heating allowance away he wont freeze you know,
Hes always in fecking Tenerife roasting his clacks off !!!!
Everyone should pay unless your skint, means test it the tight tvvats
Agreed mate.Maybe you should look outside the box and thinking everyone you know is the same.
This will affect some of the most venerable people in society.
Personally i think what you posted is either ignorance or something else bothering you.
Maybe it would be better for the BBC to be an opt in, opt out system with payment.
(just like other TV services)
Maybe your reading to much fake news mate and or you know to many rich people.
I dont read fake news, and do not know loads of rich people.
But what i do know this will make many struggle financially.
All in the name of greed.

What do you mean by the above quote @silverdaleEveryone should pay unless your skint, means test it the tight tvvats
Nice ideaI think we should get a vote on scrapping the BBC, its something we've never been given. Hell, we even got a vote on leaving the EU and look at the farce thats turned into.
Why not a vote on the BBC? 1. keep the bbc and license fee or 2. Let the BBC advertise for revenue and scrap the license fee. It would be an interesting poll on here as an experiment!
I mean the people who are loaded/ well off who can easily afford it like the rest of us but because their of an age they expect it to be free, means testing is the correct way. Scramble it I say like sky I'm sure technology can do that then we can all CS in a proper fashionWhat do you mean by the above quote @silverdale
As that sounds great idea it comes with problems at same time mate. Most elderly dont understand internet and will not have it installed in homes. Yes it would benefit the newer era with advances to tech, but i doubt the elderly have embrassed it.I mean the people who are loaded/ well off who can easily afford it like the rest of us but because their of an age they expect it to be free, means testing is the correct way.

I bet if you take most old ppls TVs away they wouldn't know anyway
