Charity calls for free TV licences to remain for over-75sI am an 80 year old widow and still pay income tax. My only income is Retirement Pension and a Civil Service Occupational Pension. I contributed to both during my working life. I know that there are many people of working age who do not pay income tax and are supported by taxpayers. My husband died 2 years ago and I now live alone. I would be reluctant to pay for a TV licence because many TV programs do not appeal to me, but I would still miss it. Many older people need TV for the company. It would be awful to force the elderly to pay the licence fee as TV can be a lifeline for lonely people, some of whom are housebound. Let us hope that it continues to be free for the over 75s.ViewDate:
