Abolish the TV license

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

TV Licence is Very Expensive and I feel that I don't even watch the BBC so don't want to be paying for them to air their channels.
If people want to watch BBC shows then they should be able to choose to pay for them or for the bbc to be funded with adverts like all the other TV channels
