Rejected petition tv licence needs to be scrapped due to cover ups in the bbc in the wake of the jimmy saville child abuse case.

More details

why should we pay an enforced fee to a coraration that has covered up and brushed aside child abuse for the last 50 years...i believe we should make a stand and opt out of paying, by paying we are basically saying that everything is fine, when obviously it isnt....i for one no longer wish to support this organisation as i feel i have been duped and mislead....the licence fee should be scrapped.
