Rejected petition Stop the BBC introducing TV licences for the over 75's & find savings elsewhere

The BBC has confirmed plans to make most over-75s pay the TV licence fee. Research shows that up to 3 million households would lose their free TV licence as a result of the decision. This egregious act will push many pensioners on the breadline into poverty.
