Just A Thought.

[SparklyKid]

Just a thought 4800 immigrants living in hotels, do they need TV licencences or do the over 75s subsidise them, bloody outrageous

[Zacs-Master]

They probably do, along with the rest of us license paying citizens.

Nobody living in a hotel, care home, nursing home, hospital, prison, hostel or any such place needs a tv licence.

Not all over 75s have to pay for a tv licence. So what are you outraged about? The migrants living in a hotel or the tv licence for the over 75s that live in their own home and not on pension credit?

[aelmpvw]

i may be wrong but i don't think you need a licence to watch a television belonging to someone else . . .

[SparklyKid]

Me, not lucky enough to be on pension credit, and all the associated perks.

[barry1010]

ael, unless you are renting a furnished property that is your main residence that includes a tv.

[aelmpvw]

i'm not on pension credit and i count myself lucky not be in that situation

[allenlondon]

Lock ‘em up! Build some camps! What do they think we are? Compassionate?

[Baldric]

The most outrageous thing here is they are still in this Country, what's wrong with taking them back to France?

[THECORBYLOON]

The Hotel owners pay for licences according to how may rooms they have.

[barry1010]

People on pension credit really do struggle even with the 'perks'. I know over 75s at the other end of the scale - still paying higher rate income tax.

Not all pensioners are the same, some are very well off, some are struggling and there are lots in between.

yeah
and they have to pay a penny to go to the bog .....
