Rejected petition Scrap the law that requires UK citizens to hold a TV Licence

The TV licence is a con, it funds the BBC whilst all other broadcasting companies to create their own revenues via advertising etc.
It exploits those most vulnerable charging them double for the first 6 months, a penalty for being skint.
If you purchase a 1 year licence it expires in 11 months
