Stop the BBC from displaying ads from the Remain campaign on their website

Petition Details

We saw the picture of the Remain campaign's ad on the BBC news website. This is yet another breach of the impartiality of state institutions in this referendum. The BBC should not be seen to favour either side (although there has been no evidence of them supporting Leave) and should display no ads

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This decision is the responsibility of the BBC. The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
