Abolish the tv licence for everyone in the uk as Covid-19 pandemic continues.
As it is vital for everyone to keep up to date with the news and daily updates from our PM we should not have to pay for this. Abolish the tv licence now so everyone can get the latest updates without paying. It is criminal that this is allowed. Allow the public to keep that few extra pounds a week
