Rejected petition Scrap the BBC license

I think it should be scrapped as we should have a right to pay for it or not. It’s morally wrong to charge us for something some people don’t wanna pay. If people want to pay it fine let them, but for the people who don’t then we should be allowed to not pay.

More details

If they scarp it and give the British public a democratic choice then they will most likely gain the confidence back in the public.
