Do you think this decision is fair? June 11, 2019 - 10:21 BST Emmy Griffiths BBC has been met by a huge backlash after announcing plans to scrap free TV licences for pensioners over the age of 75.

The public also took to Twitter to discuss the news, with one writing: " It's outrageous that the #bbc is scrapping free #TVlicence for all over 75s.

Another person added: "The @bbc wants to remove the free #TVLicence for all over 75s, potentially pushing 3.7m pensioners into poverty & potential isolation.
