Rejected petition Scrap the tv license as it's an outdated system that is no longer needed

I'm starting this on the fact the government have already dismissed the first one and provided a reply full of lies. Broadband provider rent lines from open reach this is covered in the phone bill, another factvthe bbc get revenue from there comercial channels. I want this looked into properly

More details

The licence fee is payment for a licence to watch or receive television programmes. It is not a fee or charge for BBC services and is payable regardless of whether the licence holder ever watches the BBC. Licence fee revenue is not just used to fund the BBC, it is also used for other strategic public service objectives including broadband, local television and S4C.

Just a snippet of the goverment response with the lies being shown
