Petition · past parliament

Scrap the BBC license fee. The BBC is not impartial politically and wastes money

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We are repeatedly bombarded with EU remain propaganda and would prefer an impartial entertainment that I pay for. If the BBC wishes to educate politically, it should not cost.
Gary Lineker tweets and claims, Chris Evans and Graham Norton’s shows both support the EU remain camp. BBC QT appears to prefer remain panel participants.
