What the petition asks
Taxpayers have a right to hear the reasons FOR and AGAINST the proposed offer by the Government. There are inconsistencies within the media and facts presented which can be cured by a LIVE televised neutral debate on the BBC. Public opinion matter too since it's our lives at risk over a 'weekend'
Facts around 'weekend' deaths appear to be inconsistent and include Friday and Monday's.
Andrew Marr show suggested the Government were accusing the BMA of being 'irresponsible'
More facts, but the internet can cause smoking mirrors.
