Rejected petition We ask to cancel the TV licensing fee and make the BBC subscription only.

The law says we must purchase a TV licence to watch live TV of any station, or BBC i-player. It's an unfair monopoly to other TV channels and unfair to expect viewers to fund a channel they may not watch. It's archaic. BBC News is increasingly biased and we do not wish to fund it any longer.
