Petition

Abolish the TV licence and the BBC!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the BBC is unfit for purpose.
We believe it is time that the British people no longer had to pay for a broadcaster that has been proven to be institutionally biased.
With recent scandals concerning the accuracy of the BBC broadcasting and its intellectual integrity, we believe it is time for the TV licence and more specifically our national broadcaster to be abolished.
