Rejected petition Use of TV licence to plug BBC pension scheme black hole deficit.

We, the undersigned, deplore the use of taxpayers money from the TV licence, being used to plug the BBC Pension Scheme black hole deficit.

We demand that the Government make this practice illegal forthwith and make the BBC employees self fund the deficit in the same way that employees in the private sector have to do.
