Rejected petition ABANDON THE SO-CALLED BBC LICENCE FEE ALTOGETHER
The BBC licence fee is a tax (Fees are what one chooses to pay -
Taxes are obligatory and failure to pay is punishable).
This is the ONLY RING FENCED TAX IN THE UK going on for £4BILLION AND RISING YEARLY RATHER RING FENCE THIS MONEY
FOR THE NHS - THE CHOICE IS YOURS - The BBC or the NHS
More details
It is time for the BBC to go out and earn a living - Their leaders claim that the majority of people love the BBC - THEN LET THOSE WHO LOVE IT PAY FOR IT. Give the people a choice - not by compulsion but by voluntary payments and see who really loves it.
They have had a good start in life and now is the time for them to go out AND EARN A LIVING and GET OFF THE DOLE
