Stop the BBC licence fee

What the petition asks
Debate in Parliament the merits of the BBC licence fee with the aim of curtailing it
The BBC have handled the Lineker issue appallingly resulting in their status being downgraded. Consequently the channels should no longer receive state funding via a subscription service; the licence fee is outdated to say the least!
