End the BBC funded TV licence

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We should end the BBC Licence as they are no longer impartial and are bias. As shown in the latest EU Parliamentary vote . We as a society pay for our Television Service as it is so why should we be paying extra for One service. They should use advertising or cease to exist.
