2015 The BBC will shoulder the cost of providing free television licences for people aged over 75 in a surprise deal that will cost it £750m by 2020, almost a fifth of the corporation’s current annual income. In return for the BBC’s agreement to finance part of the welfare spending cuts, the government promised to allow the £145.50 licence fee to increase in line with inflation and close a loophole caused by the increased use of on-demand television.
Yeah, the Tories removed the subsidy due to their ‘austerity’ cuts and the BBC carried it for 5 years.
So why stop the free licence for the old folk. Socialist policy at its best Anyway Lineker still gets his millions. You are quick to blame everybody else for Hillsborough, but you and your ilk don't mention Hysel. Liverpool, always to blame. Never their fault!
A socialist policy that removed the charge and a Tory policy that saw it come back..... All I did when discussing Hillsborough was allay some of the myths of that event that were perpetrated by the truly rancid Mackenzie at the S*n, and posted the results of the inquiry that completely cleared the fans of wrong doing. Merely facts. Heysel was a different story and I’ve never defended Liverpool for that, quite the reverse. You can trace the demise of my club back to that event and the 5 year blanket ban that followed it.
So would I , there are many other programs to watch on other channels for free , all bbc coverage of us election was biased against Trump , the amount of money bbc gets in advertising etc they could drop the license fee you should not be forced to watch bbc because even if you don't watch it you have to pay for it , that's not right. Anyway back to man u being banned from Europe I gather everyone agrees yes ?
The part that the BBC charge a fee to over 75 years in the first place are you struggling with that ? , then the government decides sod this we are not going to subsidize this anymore , is that easier for you to understand or are you still struggling to ? I know merseyside seems like another country and you do have your own language over there ha ha .
And the rest of football clubs got banned without being there All for the stupidity of Liverpool fans
Anyway are you saying their was not any drunken liverpool supporters at Hillsborough ? And many believe they were pushing at the back of those trapped in the ground so they selfishly could get in for free
Still no decision by FA to ban man utd if it was leeds they would have given us a ban in a week and possibly demoted us to championship Platts they are , man utd will probably get a rap on fingers and told not to do it
True pool are not taking responsibility for what happened just relying on findings that don't tell the whole story at hillsborough
Why would any club get a ban or demotion for that protest the other week? Seriously? You need to lay off the absinthe mate,
Here's tobes again aka meghan markle with his version of the truth. Done well today jug you have not swore or insulted anyone yet. Plenty of daylight left though eh?.
