What do you think? TVLicence
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 new rules now state that only low-income households where one person receives a pension will be eligible for a free licence. Speaking about their decision, the BBC director general Tony Hall said: "This has not been an easy decision.
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. The licence fee is way too high and you should be able to opt out of receiving BBC services instead of being hunted down like a criminal if you don't pay." Another person added: "The @bbc wants to remove the free #TVLicence for all over 75s, potentially pushing 3.7m pensioners into poverty & potential isolation.
