It is, as 'unt says, a legitimate expense that MP's can claim.
My point is, why should it be? |  |

This is a tough one as I agree with everything Hunt says, everything Dale says, and the sentiment behind the original question.
Here is the license fee thing though. The Tories gave the BBC the option to give >75s a free license and also gave them the option to withdraw it. The BBC gave it and subsequently have withdrawn it and the Tories are pretending to be up in arms about it. So this pearl clutching from the Tories is, as ever, mendacious bllsht. |  |

I thought what happened was the Government was paying for the over 75s, then decided they no longer wished to do that and made the BBC pay for it, then get annoyed when the BBC said they couldn't fund all of it.
Despite it being them in the first place not being willing to pay for it.
There's a really simple solution if they actually cared. |  |

Oh maybe that's it. It was something like that anyway. | |

You're right though, as is Hunt. I think that's a perfectly fine use for an expense. The guy asking isn't wrong for questioning it either.
Honestly, I don't care what the big problem with this is. BBC are still paying for those on benefits, people who aren't really should be able to afford £12 a month or whatever it is. | |
