Rejected petition Scrap the compulsory BBC License Fee

More details

We believe that the BBC is no longer fit for purpose and needs to be radically altered.

We do not watch enough/any programs on it to justify the enforced yearly charge.

It has become just another TAX that most people resent paying.

The fee should become optional. If we want to watch any of the BBC channels we will choose and pay for them accordingly.
