To demand the BBC report a balanced view of Brexit

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

For portraying Brexiters as uneducated, white and elderly racists
Suggesting reasons for Brexit are due to racial attitude
For lying about the effects of the Brexit vote
For biased reporting when they should have be politically neutral
Claiming Morgan Stanley relocating to Dublin after Brexit
Inciting the country towards hatred, divisiveness and hostility by constantly referring to the Brexit vote being made purely due to immigration. Since the beginning of the Referendum in the UK the BBC has continually reported the news in a biased fashion towards the Remain Campaign, and since the Brexit vote they continue to report a very divisive view of Brexit.
