What the petition asks
Stop UK residents from being forced to pay for TV licensing!
It is unfair to tax every household within the UK to fund an organisation such as the BBC.
The people who dont wish to watch the BBC have to pay for it.
If a person already subscibes to cable or satellite then they pay twice for the service. No other service in the Uk is allowed to get away with blanket charges to every household whether or not consumers use their service!
