Privatisation of the BBC; abolition of the licence fee; proceeds to fund the NHS

Petition Details

Those receiving television services in the UK are required to pay for the BBC, even if not supporting or viewing it; that is not fair. Commercial alternatives are subject to unfair competition from this funding mechanism. The NHS would benefit from an injection of funding from the sale of the BBC.
