09 July 2019, Great Britain, London: 93-year-old Irene sits in her living room in front of the television. In Great Britain, there is a heated debate about the recent decision of the BBC to re-invest over 75-year-olds in radio licence fees. From June 2020, they will also have to pay the 154.50 pounds (equivalent to around 172 euros) annually. Since 1999, senior citizens have been excluded.
