Rejected petition Abolish the compulsory TV license

More details

Abolish the TV license.
A compulsory TV license is unnecessary when modern technology allows people to chose an annual subscription or to not receive the BBC.
Furthermore, when the BBC shows bias in many areas, it is unfair to force people to purchase a license.
