Rejected petition Remove the TV Licenses mandatory status

More details

Many people do not watch, or even like the programmes that the BBC shows. I for one do not believe that we should be forced to pay for a channel that we don't watch, or even want.

The BBC should resort to the same funding that other channels recieve (subscription/advertising). That way we would only be paying for the TV we actually WANT to see.
