Decriminalise not having a television licence
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
Why are we paying it???!!! Stop now or it will get worse. It currently costs just under 40p per day to watch a tv. Even if your not watching it daily. The price is fixed until march 2017. I propose the tv licence be axed.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We;re not sure whether you would like the TV licence to be axed, or whether you would like non-payment to be decriminalised.
