This was inevitable as the population grew.
This is why the Government dumped the reasonability for funding this policy onto the BBC itself, so that when it finally happened they hoped it would be the BBC taking the blame rather than them. |

Seems fair - those that can't afford it still get it free.

I wonder how many forgetful over 75's will be harrassed by TVL heavies into an early grave? :scratch:

Typical government cowardice. They love to 'take the politics out' of something by moving it an arms-length body or privisating it and then slamming the consequences as if it were nothing to do with them. See rail franchising for another example. |
