Rejected petition Abolish the TV licence fee

More details

We believe that the BBC no longer acts as a fair, unbiased public service broadcaster.

The government should abolish the TV licence fee and require the BBC to adopt a subscription-based model, allowing each member of the public to choose whether to support the BBC or not.
