Yes ofcourse I do because they fought and some died trying to protect us in the war. So yes I feel they deserve something x

Why not do away with BBC - it's mostly repeats anyway!! These older folks supported the BBC all its years and BBC and the government should be ashamed of themselves for taking this away from them. Cut all the fat cats wages instead.

There shouldn't be a TV Licence. It's ridiculous to pay for the BBC - they should just start having adverts like every other channel and abolish the licence. We are held to ransom for nine tv channels.

The elderly sometimes only have the tv to keep them entertained on a daily basis, some don't have anything else. Making them pay is a disgrace.

As a carer for the elderly, I see first hand that the television is often the only company they have for most of the evenings. Furthermore, it is important that the TV they watch has an "advertising free" option since the elderly are also vulnerable to commercial predators selling them goods and services they do not need.It may seem to be a paradox to those who do not have direct contact with people in their 70's and older but in fact they don't sleep much and often have 18 hours or more of loneliness....Free Licences? They should get free televisions too.
