Rejected petition Stop the BBC licence fee

why should the British public continue to pay a draconian licence fee for BBC Channel's when the rest of the world can access them for free? Instead the British public should only pay for a TV licence allowing each household up to 5 TV sets and the money go to the Government not the BBC.

More details

Only the BBC benefits from a the licence fee, either all broadcasters should benefit or the fee should go to the Government as this is fair to all and online with other countries.
