Petition Action

Abolish The UK TV Licence

Additional Information

We, the undersigned, request that the government abolish the UK TV License.

In 2013 with the digital roll out being complete across the UK, the excuse used by the BBC of better quality broadcasting will no longer be valid.

We request that if the BBC wish for us to pay a subscription for their services, then it should be optional.

We should not have to pay for BBC services if we do not use them.

Any loss in revenue by the BBC due to the abolition of the television licence could be made up through joining all other broadcasters in advertising.

We call on our government to listen to the UK tax payers & take action.
