Abolish TV Licence
We the people demand the Government abolish the TV licence. We do not want to pay monies to a corrupt broadcasting corporation which has been shown to cover up and ignore allegations of serious misconduct by its emplloyees. A corporation that pays huge bonuses to incompetent executives while cutting the quality and variety in programming. The BBC makes more than enough money through its commercial interests, for example satelitle/cable tv channels requiring subscription.
The fact that you now need a licence for devices such as mobile phones and games consoles means that the licence has become an entertainment tax. A tax that the British people were not made aware of. A tax that has not been openly debated. It is time for this outdated licence to go.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
