This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Get the to BBC reconsider reinstating the 75+ free TV Licence.

Right now the UK is currently set on a journey where we don't know what the outcome will be and how it will affect us, however what we shouldn't be doing whilst on this journey is making the vulnerable more vulnerable and to suffer further hardship.

More details

The elderly shouldn't have to pay for a BBC licence when they're already classed as vulnerable and certainly not be expected to pay when a prisoner has the ability to watch TV daily without a fee, under the Taxpayers money, Shouldn't we be generous to those in society that have paved the way for the new generations to come and not those that break the law?
