What the petition asks
What I am asking for is the Government to consider abolishing the UK TV Licensing fees! It funds the BBC to whom should be providing impartial news, views and coverage! To which they are not doing nor have throughout the whole EU Referendum.
A TV Licence cost's £145.50 Per household and between 2013/14 took revenue of £3.7 Billion pounds.
Quoted from www.Tvlicensing.co.uk
Section: What does your license fee pay for.
"The licence fee allows the BBC's UK services to remain free of advertisements and independent of shareholder and political interest."
Interesting they say "remain free from Political interests" when I've the last few weeks and days they have done nothing but be involved in Political interests.
I want my money back!
