Rejected petition Scrapping the TV licence from the BBC because they knew of the child abuse

More details

We believe that the BBC should not be getting our TV Licence fees because of the fact that they were told of the child abuse by the late "Sir" Jimmy Savile, and yet they chose not to inform the authorities. The BBC does not deserve the licence fees if they chose to believe a celebrity rather than the victims, and that to scrap a panorama investigation into the abuse certainly proves the point. Scrap the Licence now.
