flag Petition with 50,000 signatures calls to waive BBC licence fee for those over pension age.

flag An online petition with nearly 50,000 signatures is calling for the BBC TV licence fee to be abolished for individuals over the State Pension age. flag Initiated by Michael Thompson, the petition aims to ease the financial burden of rising costs on pensioners. flag If it reaches 100,000 signatures by May 26, 2025, it will be debated in Parliament. flag The UK Government previously dismissed the idea, but Thompson argues that financial pressures necessitate reconsideration. flag The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport notes that seniors aged 75 and above could already be eligible for a free TV licence under certain conditions.
