Petition Action

Stop the BBC wasting money on self-promotion and reduce non-English content.

Additional Information

As the BBC is unable to regulate itself, and would not make rules which restrict its ability to shout about itself and lavish itself in praise, I wish Parliament to force them to act as follows:

Any programming which matches any of the following should be banned, as it is in very bad taste to take our money, and then spend it on any of these:

* Media awards events. (OF ANY DESCRIPTION)
* "Celebrity" opinions on any subject whatsoever.
* 30-second BBC promo advert thingies.
* Programming which focuses on the BBC itself and would not be shown on a commercial channel.
* TV and iPlayer content which unfairly over-represents minority languages in the UK (Scots, Welsh, or any other) - the quantity of this is alienating and divisive to an Englishman.

It's a broadcasting service which serves a function. That is to entertain and inform, not to self-promote or build cults of personality.
