Abolish the BBC License fee as it’s not fit for purpose.

What the petition asks
Since the Brexit Referendum the BBC has shown just how biased it really is. This goes against the principles in which it was founded. The BBC also fails to create enough genuine new entertainment to merit its worth alongside the likes of Netflix. As such it should be judged not fit for purpose.
