Boris Suggests He Could Scrap Tv Licence Fees

[naomi24]

//The PM was asked by a worker in a factory whether a Tory government would abolish TV licence fees for everybody, Boris Johnson said: "Well, I don't think at this late stage in the campaign I'm going to make an unfunded spending commitment like that, but what I certainly think is that the BBC should cough up and pay for the licences for the over-75s as they promised to do.

"But at this stage we are not planning to get rid of all TV licence fees, though I am certainly looking at it."

He added: "But you have to ask yourself whether that kind of approach to funding a TV, a media organisation still makes sense in the long-term given the way other organisations manage to fund themselves - that's all I will say.//



Should he?

I`m with shoota - they should be out in the real world working for their income and not paying massive fees to a bunch of 3rd rate "stars".
