Rejected petition Get rid of the T.V. licence

More details

The T.V. licence should be abolished.
The reasons being the BBC licence is too expensive. The BBC should come under the competition laws as do Sky and Virgin Media. People can Purchase BBC channels If they wish, But it should not made compulsory. This is just a basic petition. The question being. Do you think it right for the government to force people with a television set to buy a licence. I put it down to a question of choice.
