What the petition asks

This proposal needs to be blocked and prevented.
This proposal needs to be blocked and prevented.
A large majority of the Nation do not consume live TV and ESPECIALLY avoid BBC services due to the constant propaganda and the ideological narrative pushed which doesn’t align with the values of modern British citizens.
It’s wrong to force households to pay for services which they do not want or support.
This fee is outdated and needs to be abolished.
