Rejected petition Scrap BBC TV Licence fee as they are well able to raise the funds by other means

As A free TV Licence will only be available to households with someone over 75 who receives Pension Credit from June 2020, the BBC has announced.
It is thought more than three million pensioners will now have to pay the fee
If the Government require this service they should pay the BBC directly.

As the elderly have served their time and should be supported by us the population.

I'm sure the BBC can get their funding elsewhere instead of being Molly coddled by the state and public

At least you could let them watch tv while their freezing to death, OUTRAGEOUS!

This would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
