      Being old isn’t a good reason to give people free TV. Older people are often poor; so give it to poor people. Often disabled; so give it to disabled people. Often lonely; so give it to lonely people. It’s actually unhelpful to stigmatise all old people as poor, lonely and sick.

      Over 75s have been paying into the BBC all their lives so it would be nice if they could have something back.

      I hate this argument. They pay the taxes they have to pay the same as everyone else.

          Is the reason not for an appreciation of their contribution to society? A bus pass being another example? One of the characteristics of a decent society is how it treats the elderly.

          How about the elderly who have limited access to social care because government spending that money giving free TV licences to middle class pensioners who can easily afford them.

          But they have been paying them far longer than most. Give them a break.

          Well said!!! By someone who will never have to make the choice between putting the gas fire on or buying food!!! Julia, you need a #Reality_Check!!! There are thousands of pensioners #Surviving on less than 1% of what you have. A TV licence isn't free its been paid for!!!

          Your parents might be well off enough to pay their licence comfortably. What about the people who aren't so well off, who don't get pension credit? Eat, heat or watch tele? Which one would you choose?

          This generation started work at 14 years of age. They were grafters, there were no benefits for them, they worked or didn't eat? I hope that, IF you reach that age someone treats you in the same manner and takes things from you that you've potentially earned.

          Yes but it's not called the BBC Tax, though is it? So it's not quite the same thing. I dont watch the BBC or listen to it but the mere fact I have a phone capable of watching iplayer & a TV set that can get freeview means I HAVE to pay them to show constant repeats.
