To stop free TV licence for MPs and continue free TV licence for over 75s
This is very unfair for politicians to have free TV licence when they can afford to pay, whilst people over 75 who paid their taxes all their lives. Don’t destroy their happiness.
I have read it online. I wasn’t aware of this, when I accidentally saw that on line. And it was on channel 4 news.
