TODAY is the annual UN Day for Older Persons, a day of celebration and recognition for a generation who have given a lifetime of work to build our nations and fought for social and economic justice, peace and human rights.
Here, in a shameful act of callous betrayal of this generation, Boris Johnson’s government is holding firm on its decision to remove funding for a free TV licence for those aged over 75.
Ending the state provision of a free licence for all over-75s, instead forcing its provision onto an already stretched BBC, has led to means testing and the ending of its status as a universal benefit, undermining the social contract reached with our pensioners.
