BorisJohnson has demanded the BBC 'cough up' the money to pay for over-75s TV licence fees.

announced in June they would put an end to free over-75s licence fees in 2020 despite committing to funding the licences in 2015. Asked whether he would"abolish TV licence fees," the Prime Minister said:"For everyone? I don’t think this late in the campaign I’m going to be making a spending commitment like that."What I certainly think is that the BBC should cough up and pay for the licences for over-75s as they promised to do.
