Furious pensioners are demanding licence fee payers boycott the BBC as a fightback begins over its 'shameful' and 'utterly disgusting' decision to scrap free TV licences for 3.7million over-75s. 'Susan' tweeted: 'Boycott the BBC, they are a disgrace... all 75 year olds should be exempt from paying the licence fee.' Piers Morgan raised the licence fee scandal on Good Morning Britain this morning, and received a flood of angry messages from viewers. The BBC wasted £200,000 of licence fee payer's money on taxi, train and hotel bookings that were never used between 2015 and 2018. Labour's Kate Hoey tweeted: 'All this will do is make the campaign to abolish the licence fee even stronger.'
