What the petition asks
Request that the BBC stands up to it's commitment to all pensioners and re-introduces free licences for all pensioners.
Many pensioners who do not recieve pension credit will strugle to pay for a TV licence. It is unfair to ask these pensioners to pay when the TV might be their only link to the world
