The BBC Charter to be changed to prevent the BBC from accepting EU funds.

Petition Details

The BBC is haemorrhaging support due to its continual and visible bias towards the EU. It is obvious to a large number of the citizens of the UK that this bias is fuelled directly by grants and continuing subsidies from the EU. This negates the principle of funded by the people for the people.

Additional Information

From several Newspapers in January 2017. This from the Express.

The Beeb has raked in more than £300,000 worth of EU grants since the referendum alone, with the money being paid out for "research projects" carried out by BBC staff.

The BBC insisted the cash has "no influence" on the editorial content of its news programmes.

The row blew up after it emerged that Brussels has agreed to hand £352,750 to the taxpayer-funded broadcaster for its role in a research project.
