Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?For some old people wether living alone or with a partner the TV is such good company & is their only link with the outside world. Maybe the BBC should consider the extremely high salary paid to many of their employees. Older people have watched their pennies & tried to save for their old age & its so unfair that certain people who claim pension credit get lots of other benefits but others who either do not claim or are marginally over the limit to claim get nothing. We went without things all our lives to try & make ends meet so why should we be penalised now. Older people have lots more living expenses as need to get help in with mundane tasks that they can no longer do for themselves. These costs all mount up out of their £5k to £7k pension. We are not rich as some people think & the licence fee will make the big difference to them.
