I want my BBC weather to be from the MET office not from a foreign country.
The BBC has said its not renewing its contract with the MET office after 92 years!!! The MET office is as much a British institution as the BBC. There are some thing that should not be outsourced to foreign enterprises and the British weather is one of them!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do. 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.
There is an open petition calling for the creation of a statutory requirement for BBC weather forecasts to be provided by the UK Met Office:
