Rejected petition Abolish the TV licence fee

To abolish the TV licence fee and make the BBC fund itself as other broadcasters have to.

More details

The TV licence fee is not a licence, but an undemocratic subscription that is dictated to us the public to pay. Evan if you do not wish to use the BBC but watch other broadcasters we still have to pay this fee. How can this be fair in todays moden world. Being forced to pay for something you do not want.
