The BBC current affairs programmes, News both local and National have since the referendum have been actively engaged in promoting a 2nd referendum and engaged in pushing the petition for 2nd referendum even though it was quite clear and subsequently proven that many signatories were invalid and fraudulent and against the democratic principles of the United Kingdom.
