People who never watch television whether they game, work remotely or use broadband purely for business should not be forced to fund the BBC.\r\n\r\nThe proposal is unjust and should be rejected.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-09-24T01:56:43.283Z","updated_at":"2026-10-26T09:26:39.228Z","rejected_at":"2026-10-26T09:26:27.522Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-24T11:51:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":"There are currently no official proposals to scrap the TV licence fee or to create an internet levy.
