What the petition asks
Over the past 40 years,contrary to their Charter, the BBC have taken EU loans thus destroying their required impartiality on all EU matters. They are now known as the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation, as they never criticise the EU or question the illegality of ECA1972 and Lord Kilmuir's advice.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
