It’s generous to think politicians are thinking of anything beyond their own gain when they were introducing or maintaining ENCTS. Look at the backlash when the over 75’s TV licence was threatened - which was much more affordable for most pensioners. Changing ENCTS would be a PR disaster for the government, so it rumbles on as services are continually withdrawn - see the 81 in Redcar.
Yea the BBC wanted more money from the government for the free tv license for the pensioners, hasn’t the age gone up to get free tv license now?, I probably be under the ground before I get to the state pension age which we have to be about 85 by then, which will save the government money, in the future there supposedly be gradually withdrawing the state pension
