Abolish the BBC

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The BBC no longer acts in the best interests of the people of the United Kingdom. It is a self serving, corrupt organisation run by and for the benefit of unelected extreme left wing and minority groups.
I propose that the organisation be broken up and sold to private enterprise to bring it into the 21st Century.

Why it was rejected

Stop The TV licence by Privatising the BBC.
