    Free TV licence for over 75’s not necessarily a bad idea ( although millionaires over 75 benefit ) , making the BBC fund it , not a good idea.
    Although I can see why some complain that they do tFreddie_archer said:
    I'm amazed that so many 75+ s are queueing up to pay !!
    It amazes me too, actually paying for BBC Propaganda, to be rammed down their throats... :)
    Takes all sorts I guess.....
    I’m not a psychic , but I recon you are a Daily Mail/ Sun reading , Brexit voting , Trump supporting , lock down hating ( the vulnerable  can go and f**k themselves) anti vaxxer, and it amazes me that what  I consider that to be a roll call of shame, is to some a badge of honour.

    Well as someone over 75 can I go f**k myself please?
    Cancelled my poll tax fee for the Biased Broadcasting Corporation months ago.
    Now legally licence free and may watch anything but their garbage for nothing on catch up, online.

    It sounds to me that you're the type of person who has nothing to do with people who don't share your beliefs. What I consider to be a roll call of shame are those in this country who said democracy must be overturned, Brexiteers are worse than Nazis, we must stop Brexit,  we will falsely blame it on the Russians, we will conspire with the EU to make sure it doesn't happen and we demand a people's vote!

    Following up my earlier post, a TV Licence has now turned up at my father-in-law's flat, over a month after he died. I realise that things are not all going smoothly at the moment but there seem to be a lot of left hands not knowing what the right hands are doing these days.
