Rejected petition Stop TV License Fee

More details

The BBC have for a long time had the benefit of taxpayers money to create their programmes, many of which cater for the minority whilst the majority pay with the benefit of 'no adverts'.

We are in a time where digital television has allowed us to make a better choice on what channels we want and we pay for that through companies such as Sky and Virgin Media and even have the option to record and watch without the adverts later.

The license fee should be abolished to remove this unfair advantage for the BBC and enable fair competition between broadcasters.
