Stop the funding of the BBC
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
BBC is funded from tax payer's money via the TV Licence. I ask you to stop funding the BBC with the money from the TV Licence or any other tax payer funding and refocus these to the NHS.
In light of continuous misleading information put out by the BBC, I believe my TV Licence should be better off being spent funding the NHS and contributing to saving lives. Please make it so.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular we're not sure whether you want to scrap the licence fee or raise taxes to increase NHS funding.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
