Closed Make TV licence optional, BBC should not be funded by people of good conscience.

Closed on

We the undersigned categorically state that BBC has repeatedly failed to uphold the expected standards of being unbiased and fair in its coverage on global war zones. Most recent example is evident in its coverage on Israel-Gaza situation. It is effectively acting as an Israel mouthpiece. We reject this media extremism and would not like to fund such an institution through the TV licencing system.

Therefore we ask the government to make the TV licencing optional so that people of good conscience can register their protest by opting out.
