Removal of TV license

Additional Information

According to the BBC's own figures during 2011 it costs the public a total of £3.6 billion in licencing fees. The service that they offer is in no way beneficent to the public, and is already provided by many other channels free of charge.

This Petition is calling for the BBC to seek an alternate source of revenue that is not a direct tax upon the public. And if the BBC is not able to accomplish this target by the year 2015 to liquidate its assets, and to use the revenue to provide tax cuts for the public.

the initial liquidation of stock would provide roughly £4.7 Billion, and the Removal of the TV license would save the public an additional £3.6 Billion per year. This would equate to a saving of roughly £130 per person in the first year, and a saving of roughly £57 per person every year after.
