Rejected petition Allow pensioners to watch TV without the worry of having to pay for a TV Licence

Pensioners over the age of 75 will now have to pay for their TV Licence. They have worked all their lives paid their taxes. Why should they have to pay for their TV licence when many of them may be housebound and TV is their main source of Entertainment.

The Government couldn’t make the decision themselves and put it on the BBC. Shame on you, allow our pensioners to not have the added cost of this.
