Rejected petition Privatise the BBC (thereby abolish the licence fee)

More details

If you are like me and are absolutely fed-up with the way us licence payers are ignored by the BBC, let us once and for all get rid of the monster.

Many, many people ask on Points of View for background music to be removed, or at least turned down. Others ask that English citizens views should be solicited in street interviews and that more jobs are given to us, the domiciled licence payers, not fly-by-night foreigners, who are simply here to make a buck. What about the numbers of has-been sports people jetting around the world to give us inane commentaries, e.g. on golf, tennis, athletics, formula one and most of all football. This list is only restricted by your own imagination. I SAY, PRIVATISE IT.
