I'm not just criticising Question Time or Newsnight. I have criticised the BBC News on NSC including their reporting of a particular incident, or lack of it, that I was in. I complained but was ignored. Please don't tell me their journalists are trying to be balanced, and give me credit for...

My prescriptions are free fortunately, but I only get a small private pension, plus state pension. There are pensioners a lot better off than me.

Do doctors deliberately lie and present false facts. Do they invite prospective council or election candidates into the hospitals to ask leading questions in debates? Yes, both are publicly funded but that's where any similarity ends.

No, it's not. I'm very nearly in that age group and look nothing like two doddery old people shuffling along. As I pointed out previously, many old people are exempt anyway because they're on pension credit, live in sheltered accommodation or care home. The blind also get free licenses. The rest...

Strange analogy?

It's not quite up to the standard of Fox News but I have caught it out in lies, and seen blatant propaganda in Newsnight & Question Time with plants (not the potted kind) as members of the public. I used to trust the BBC, but don't any longer. Strangely, the BBC World Service is more balanced.

Who is going to pay the wages of all the civil servants needed to investigate the incomes of the pensioners?

The BBC is as far from independent news as it can be. How many times do you see Farage & Rees-Mogg interviewed compared with Caroline Lucas or Vince Cable. Channel 4 news is far more balanced.

My mother was a child during the war. She is 90 on Thursday. She lives in a care home so wouldn’t have a tv licence anyway. Neither do any who live in sheltered housing as one licence covers it. Anyone on pension credit will also be exempt.

Many of them are living in care & don’t pay anyway. I do agree the Tories have reneged on their promises but what else is new?

75 year olds were not involved in the war. You’d have to be 79 & male just to have done National Service.
