Re: Free TV licences for the over 75's

I didn't say it was imminent Cashy...just that it is coming.
After all, the young folk do not watch TV in the way we watched it for decades...they use Netflix, YouTube, Subscription services.
I really think that at some point in the future the BBC is going to have to decide to either go for commercial support, or a subscription style service.

If I am still above the sod, I won't be one of their subscribers....I think that they have lost the confidence of the general public.
They are NOT the impartial service that it set out to be....and it has lost trust.

It manipulates the news by selective reporting(which is a lot like lying).
