Rejected petition Either scrap the BBC licence fee or give us an opt out

More details

The BBC licence fee is a completely unfair tax that is unjustifiable in todays climate.

How many other companies can legally FORCE people to buy their product regardless of wether they want to or not?

If it is not scrapped altogether, then people should be given the choice to pay and recieve the BBC channels, or not pay and stick to the plethora of free channels or other paid services that are out there now.

To not do so is stifling choice, and that is unnaceptable.
