Abolish the Licence Fee now!

What the petition asks
It is time the Television licence fee was abolished and the BBC was modernised.
The BBC used to be known as "Auntie" and was at one time the nation's favourite broadcaster.
However in recent years, it has become a vessel for spouting Left Wing bias.

The lowest point came recently when a Newsnight broadcaster launched an open attack on a senior Government adviser.
We believe the BBC is no longer neutral and that the licence fee should be abolished and a subscription service introduced.
