Insist the BBC is impartial in their reporting of EU Referendum topics
The BBC are failing their duty to cover the EU referendum without bias; their "main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the UK"yet they are clearly biased to 'Stay' campaign.
The Government should urgently address this situation and avoid bias in the referendum.
We are all entitled to receive both sides of the referendum from our Public Service Broadcaster, that is BBC.
This week alone the BBC has not covered the matter that David Cameron was already planning the 'Remain' campaign back in January, before negotiations with the EU had been completed. Nor has the BBC covered the Brussels rules about the UK banning EU nationals.
