Petition Action

Make it illegal for any Government to appoint Directors to the BBC Board.

Petition Details

The BBC should be totally independent from Government influencing its editorial content or the types of programmes it makes. Any Directors or Chairs of BBC should be appointed by a transparent process using a public commissioner completely independent from the Prime Minister or Culture Minister.

Additional Information

"The job of the BBC is to speak truth to power. It is a public broadcaster, not a state broadcaster. It is not the Government's BBC, it's the public's BBC."
-said Peter Kosminsky at the 2016 BAFTAs
See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36245724

BBC licence fee money is money the public gives to the BBC to make programmes & content.But the Government believe it is public/tax money so they should appoint BBC Directors, use the money for other initiatives or give it to other broadcasters/newspapers
