Rejected petition End the BBC TV license fee.

BBC TV should become subscription based for those who want it, not enforced on those who don't.

More details

In today's world, people should have the right of choice for services in their homes - be it a choice of energy suppier, or broadband service, etc.
Enforcing people (by law) to pay for a service that they have not chosen, is unfair, unjust, unreasonable, antiquated, and evidently unwanted by many UK citizens who agree with ending the license fee.
People should have the right of CHOICE in a democratic society.
