Rejected petition Abolish The BBC TV License Fee

You should not have to pay for something that you do not want to watch. If the BBC wants to charge then it should encrypt.
The BBC has an unfair advantage over the competition through its funding via a licence fee.

More details

Asian families watching only Asian dramas and films should not have to pay the BBC licence fee if they never watch the BBC. Same for families watching the sky channels and Netflix.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE IT SHOULD NOT BE COMPULSORY TO PAY THE BBC.
IT SHOULD BE A CHOICE.
