Parliament should abolish the BBC & create a politically impartial broadcaster.
The BBC is blatantly politically biased, towards the left of politics, and in favour of Remain in the EU Referendum campaign.
THe BBC give far more time during their news braodcasts to those advocating Remain in the EU Referendum campaign. E.g. Barak Obama gets 15 minutes on prime news broadcasts, the Leave side gets 15 seconds. David Cameron gets 3 minutes, the Leave "economists" get merely a mention.
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:
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. The BBC is already an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and parliament. The Charter also includes rules on impartiality.
