Closed Abolish the Tv Licence

Closed on

We are a 84k strong group growing at a rate of around 100 per week, campaigning for the abolition of the Tv Licence.

The fact the BBC is the sole benefactors of the fee regardless if people watch it or not is wholly unjust and unfair.
The collection of the tv licence is fuelled by commision hungry salesmen who have been proven to lie, cheat and intimidate the public into paying.

We favour a fairer system were the public retain the choice to support the BBC or not.
