What the petition asks
Over the past 6 months, it has become increasingly apparent that the BBC have been influenced by their EU paymasters. Their coverage has been heavily in favour of the 'remain' side of the debate, and even after the debate has ended, they have persisted to peddle propaganda and scaremongering.
You only have to look at their Facebook pages to see countless instances where they are continuously peddling EU propaganda.

These 'stories' they call national news are set out to divide our country at a time when they should be inpartial, and they have shown throughout the debate that they are anything but.
We want these people removed from their positions, immediately.
