Closed Support a Referendum to abolish compulsory BBC licence fee

Closed on

In this age of fair competition the BBC should not be able to unfairly demand a yearly licence payment from the general public without giving the people the choice of having or not having the BBC channels, this is an outdated and unfair monopoly.

No other media company gets a compulsory payment from the uk general public.
You can choose to have Virgin,Sky etc You have no choice when it comes to the BBC
