Terrorism legislation should be amended to require all broadcasters regulated by Ofcom to describe all terrorist organisations proscribed in the UK and their operatives as “terrorists” and not by any descriptor, such as “militants”, which does not make their terrorist nature clear.

A lot of people forced to pay for a TV Licence and they are not watching BBC on live broadcast or online. TV Licence was founded when the BBC was the only broadcast channels, right now there is a lot of other channels to watch on TV so why do we have to keep paying if we are not watching BBC?

The TV Licence is no longer fit for purpose and should be abolished. It is unfair that one should hold one to watch Freeview channels or indeed subscription TV. The BBC should look at alternative methods of funding particularly as it is commonly felt there is a high level of bias.

- Final Signatures: 16,295
The BBC has a Charter obligation to be independent in fulfilment of its mission. It has repeatedly shown itself incapable of providing impartial reportage on major political issues. The BBC was established when there was no effective media choice. The licence fee is abhorrent in today's media world.
