Should pensioners have to pay?

Veteran organisations and pensioners upset at plans to charge over 75s for television licences have arranged a public meeting this week.

It will be held at The Manx Legion Club in Douglas at 2pm on Thursday afternoon (July 21).

The Royal British Legion and Royal Navy are among those who have arranged the gathering.

People aged 75 and over will have to pay for their TV licences from September, although those who receive income support will still be eligible for help.
