BBC pay: Theresa May blasts corporation over star pay as over-75s lose free licenceTHERESA May yesterday urged the BBC to think again over axing free TV licences for those over 75. And the Prime Minister savaged the corporation for handing presenters huge amounts in pay while the elderly struggled to meet their bills. The BBC is funded by the public. It doesn't need 'Stars'. If no one watches their product.. What the hell does it matter! 🧐 Abolish licenses for TV altogether. Why should people pay to watch TV? TV ought to pay the people to watch. Conservatives why isn't BBC in the govt budget with govt changing appointments of its board?
