Keep tv licence

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The BBC is the envy of the World. It should be properly funded & kept free of advertising.
The BBC is in its 100th year. The BBC is loved by the majority of the British people. The rest of the World are envious of the BBC. We should treasure it & find it properly with the licence fee. The only change I would make is reduce it for people on lowest incomes to £100. But increase it for people on higher incomes to maybe £200 or even £300.
