“Cynical” Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has left pensioners “bitterly disappointed” over free TV licences, a campaigner warned tonight.
The “disingenuous” Cabinet Minister, 64, failed to stand up for OAPs when she launched her latest attack on the BBC, according to older people’s group Silver Voices.
While her six-year settlement with the corporation included a two-year freeze in the £159 licence fee, she failed to say how over-75s stripped of free TV licences after the Tories broke a manifesto pledge would be protected from “harassment”, director Dennis Reed claimed.
