There was never any doubt as to how outcome would be reached.
Yes, but this was part of a deal with the government......the cost of the licence went up.....and the BBC promised that they would continue to provide services for the elderly.

The Beeb pay many of their presenters and backroom staff more than the PM.....so maybe th should get the accountants in and see where they can make cuts in that direction.

I guess if these elderly folk decide not to pay, then the prisons will be full of warm, well nourished old folk who are happily watching TV in a prison cell.
It comes to something when criminals are treated better than the elderly.
