Rejected petition Privatise BBC Television

More details

By "giving" Rugby, Football, Cricket and now Formula One and mis-directing funds into BBC3 and BBC4 the television arm of the BBC has lost its way.

As licence payers we are now expected to pay our fee towards the BBC and then again to Sky Television and this is wrong.

BBC Television should be privatised, the licence fee scrapped completely and it should be made to stand on it's own decisions either by advertising or by Pay-Per-View.
