BBC News is Bias Scrap the TV Licence.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The British public are not falling for the Bias and Fake News broadcast each and every day on the BBC. We find it an insult to our integrity by broadcasting information to sway people politically and also for their own beliefs. We want the TV Licence scrapped as we are not seeing value for our money
We have online News and we have other News channels too so why should we invest in the BBC when we no longer watch what they have to offer? BBC should become self funding not out of the pockets of the British People.
