I have a JSON file with a "description" key in it, that has lots of HTML tags inside. I would like to erase them. They're encoded, like:
`&lt;ul&gt;` instead of `<ul>`

I've tried doing `text.replace('<.*?>','')`, but it doesn't work.  

I've also tried with BeautifulSoup doing:

```
text = soup.get_text()

```

But it doesn't work neither (it just only decodes the html tags)
And finally, I've tried doing:

```
soup = BeautifulSoup(text)
text = soup.get_text()
text = text.replace('<.*?>','')

```

Combining that two codes, but the tags won't get deleted...

What I have now in "text" variable (after using beautiful soup that decodes the html tags):  

`"description":"</li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>TESTING AND QUALITY</strong></p><ul><li>....."` 

What I want to have in text variable:  

`"description":"TESTING AND QUALITY"`
