The BBC has been an ever-present feature of British life for nearly a hundred years. Over that time, it has famously gained the affectionate nickname ‘Auntie', supposedly after the expression ‘Auntie knows best. It has also helped the UK project soft power across the world with things like the World Service. However, in recent years, the BBC has been making an increasingly large number of poor decisions which not only bring into question this nickname, but also how fit it is for purpose in 2020. The most recent example of this, is the announcement earlier this week that from the 1st August, over 75s not in receipt of Pension Credit would be expected to pay for the TV licence.
