Stop the expression, stated or implied, of political opinon by the BBC.
Since the Referendum the BBC has picked up on every negative report regarding our leaving the EU or, worse, ignored any positive information altogether. On the day of the most important debate in Parliament for decades, it was relegated to the 5th place in their schedule.
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:
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
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.
