        If the BBC showed anything any good it might be worth paying.

        Anybody with 30k plus in the bank should lose their free TV licence, and bus pass.

        It’s not an act of cruelty. There are people of all ages who can’t afford it, that’s tough - You don’t get to watch the BBC. There are other channels which are free to view! The elderly get too much from the tax payer... don’t get me started on the triple-lock!!!

        Just get rid of the license fee. A license to watch Tv is a ridiculously outdated idea.

        Erm, just read the TV license article. Bloody stupid suggestion that older people’s wealth has ‘improved considerably’. Even more stupid that there’s even still a license, wtf is it for anymore?!

        Pay a decent pension, or better yet a #BasicIncome, and it’s not an issue in the slightest
