I am sure you're correct on that point.Johnson's comment about the continuation of universal free TV licences for the over 75s funded by the BBC after 2020 will be well received by that particular age group.
You have fallen into your own trap here. Just because you make a supposition that refers to the opposite side of a comparison, you were unable to furnish the actual source of the Prime Minister specifically making reference to rich pensioners, which is the reason why I asked for a source to be provided that such a named statement could be verified.
About the time when the prime minister said that rich pensioners should get free TV licences. If that's the case, then the Government should be funding it.
My dislike with this system is that it takes from the poorest, all pay the same amount, and uses it to pay ludicrous salaries to an obscene number of people within the BBC. If these poor people don't have a licence they may end up in a Magistrates court and some end up in prison for not paying the huge fines.
