Petition Action

Fund the BBC from general taxation and end the TV Licence.

Petition Details

A public broadcaster should be funded directly from the Government and not be dependent on a 'subscription model'. The current situation regarding withdrawal of over 75's exemption is unfair and has been brought about by a political stance which is far from impartial.

Additional Information

Given various internet streaming services now can deliver content in a different way, and that the BBC is also involved in this current system it is no longer viable to maintain a 'licence to watch' given their other revenue streams.
