TV Licence

saw a post this morning

2 oldies walking down the road

Last week they were thanking us for saving the free world
This week they are taking away our free TV licence

Saw another post this morning, the war ended 74 years ago.

Why is everyone assuming that anyone over the age of 75 served in the war? It’s lazy hysteria. I don’t know how many veterans are still alive now, but I would bet my life they do not make up the majority of over 75 year olds.

If people stuck on benefits and relying on food banks have to pay the fee, then so should the elderly. This is at fault of the Tory government (cutting funding again what a surprise) yet no one cares. The anger is directed at the BBC for screwing over war veterans, no wonder the media isn’t trusted in this country

They'd be minimum 90 today, and that's assuming that they lied to enrol and just squeaked in before hostilities ended.
