Rejected petition Scrap BBC Licence Fee - TAX on TV Ownership

More details

Scrap the BBC Licence Fee - This is nothing but a tax on owning a television. There is no place in modern society for a state funded broadcaster. The BBC is unaccountable, biased and certainly not politically neutral. If they insist on the keeping the sensationist style of reporting, then let them find funding in the way other broadcasters do. It is not fair to force the population to pay for a broadcaster in the form of tax.
