Rejected petition Abolish TV license
More details
Abolish the tax called "TV licence" as it is
- very expensive to collect
- people are treatened by tv licensing in a way
gangs used to collect their tributes
- BBC should be funded through central taxation
Reasons
The TV licensing do employ more than 3000 people
and only reason of this company to exist is to
tale hard earned money from working people!
Cost of collection of this tax is huge as it need to
pay its employees [not a statutory minimum wage!]
and pay for premisses, cars, etc. it uses.
Much more economical is to use central taxation
to fund the BBC as this will not pose additional costs
of collection and stop herrasement of people by
the company mentioned above.
