Rejected petition remove the tv licence

More details

I think it’s time to get rid of TV licence, it’s a service I dont want and should not have to pay for, and is the only service that we have to pay for by law if we want it or not. If the BBC was a subscription service like sky or virgin media it would be interesting to see how many people would pay for it. It's time to give us a choice in what we watch and remove the TV licence once and for all.
