Rejected petition Scrap the BBC TV License Fee!

The BBC TV license fee is abominable and out of date. To be able to watch live television in the UK you have to pay £169.50. This is much more than many subscription services such as Netflix and Disney Plus. You have to pay even if you do not watch any BBC channels. It is ridiculous.
It MUST go!

More details

The government regulates the BBC and has the power to remove this TV license in favour of other funding options, such as commercial advertising revenue models.
