Rejected petition The BBC to reverse its decision to axe free tv licences for the over 75s!

I want the government to make the BBC reverse its decision to axe free tv licences for the over 75s in the U.K.

More details

The reason they should do it is because the majority of people use satellite tv these days. Even if people want to watch the BBC they’re already paying out to companies like Sky. The tv licence is an outmoded method of charging people for the service provided by the Corporation and should be axed completely for those in society who have paid their takes all their lives and In their old age their tv is their only luxury.
