    Thinking of scrapping free licence for over 75's
    DWP phasing it out in 2020 so it's left to the BBC to fund or not
    Current cost £650 mill pa

    Should scrap it full stop and I'd be happy with annoying adverts like in USA and let the advertisers pay for crap that's on

    Agree , forcing people to pay for something they don’t watch is ridiculous

    I could do without it, no problem. I’d miss the breakfast bit before 0900, can’t stand the alternative with self promotion of Morgan et al. Rest is forgettable.

    So by extension, we should reduce taxes for people who have private health insurance and send their kids to private school in order to prevent them having to pay for services they don't use?

    Education and Health Care are essential for everyone ,if you want to pay extra for a better/faster experience then that’s your choice.

    The BBC isn’t essential and if used is just by choice of the viewer.

    They miss a trick do the beeb in my opinion , in their vaults they have an unbelievable amount of back catalogue sport .

    Every major sporting event from the last 70 years already at hand , world cups , olympic and commonwealth games , open golf , wimbledon , FA cup finals , Home International's , Euro's , match of the days , the list is endless .

    BBC Retro Sport would make an unbelievable good alternative sports channel interesting millions of people .

    Wouldn't cost them hardly anything , the programmes are already made .
