AS Chris Loder has yet to reply to my email to him dated July 11, I write as one of the over 75s about to lose their free TV Licence - yet another broken promise by this Government - to say how angry and disgusted I am.

At this particular time with this dreadful pandemic still ongoing, the television is for thousands of elderly people their only source of comfort and enjoyment and many of them veterans who helped to keep this country free from tyranny.

The £157.50 is also for many people the price of one week’s pension, which is shocking in itself, so to have to pay that would cause great hardship.

However, there are a lot of “us oldies” who still manage to turn up at the ballot boxes so time will tell methinks!
