Rejected petition Stop/change TV Licensing and make the bbc fund itself!

TV licensing in the UK creates an unfair advantages favouring the BBC with every household in the UK being forced to pay money towards a tv station that many may not even watch! Every other Uk station has to fund itself and it’s time the BBC is forced to do this as well.

More details

Other European countries have a TV licence - such as France, Italy and Germany - but in those cases the public broadcaster is also funded by advertising. Poland has a relatively low TV licence fee (55 euros) this should be adopted by the UK by either removing the tv licence or lowering it forcing the bbc to create its own revenue!
