[Margaret Pilkington]

I think those who had free licences and are now expected to pay are doing so because they are the age when you paid for what you had used...and also many of them fear the bailiffs knocking at their door if they don't pay.
The BBC can pay 100m quid to pay agents to seek out the non payers, but cannot afford to give the elderly their TV licence.
They can also spend 124 million quid on diversity(they already meet diversity quotas) and programs that reflect diversity.

No surprises that they pay someone a fat fee to parrot these loony left view and woke ideals.
It is high time the organisation was defunded...made to stand in the marketplace of programs, just to see how it fared amongst other competitors.
