Television licence fee rip off.high everyone my aim is to get our government and the bbc to reduce or abolish the television licence fee it is far too expensive for a lot of people I myself are currently unemployed due to illness and I find it impossible to pay the fee even in instalments now l know that there are literally hundreds and indeed thousands who atruggle to pay this fee .ive heard that one or two mp.s have mentioned this in the house of commons but thats as far as its gone I feel it is time that the british public had a say in this for too long this has gone on they put the fee up without any consultation with us and they are suppose to be accountable to us ? When this government took office austerity measures were started and I agree needed .however it seems too me that the poor have bourne the brunt of these measures I feel it is time we were given something back like cutting vat but then I thought no the tv licence fee is a rip off .so if you genuinely feel as I do please sign my petition .I cant do this alone .thank you .colin latham
