Rejected petition Block BBC proposal to prevent households opting out of paying the TV licence.

Rumours have circulated that the BBC is proposing enforcement of compulsory payment of the TV licence and charging higher rates for those in higher council tax bands…

This proposal needs to be blocked and prevented.

More details

A large majority of the Nation do not consume live TV and ESPECIALLY avoid BBC services due to the constant propaganda and the ideological narrative pushed which doesn’t align with the values of modern British citizens.

It’s wrong to force households to pay for services which they do not want or support.

This fee is outdated and needs to be abolished.
