Rejected petition The scrapping of the U.K. T.V Licence

More details

As an example: The army of BBC journalists and technicians covering the 2012 Olympic Games have been told the Corporation will pay for them to stay in a hotel if they live more than 45 minutes from the Olympic Park in East London.
We, the public, should not stand for this waste of money and therefore demand that the Television Licence should be scrapped and the BBC should fund its own programmes through advertisement.
