Scrap The TV licencing Fee!
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
Hi all. Alot of people don't watch live TV and don't have a TV licence. With a new rule coming out soon that everyone must have a TV licence to watch iPlayer and live TV. I think the funds for the licence fee could be spent elsewhere like the NHS.
The BBC have enough money to run the licence for free for years to come. And then give the money to the NHS who are in need with the money for vital equipment to save lives!
