Have vanessa felts removed from radio 2. As we pay the license fee.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

It is our opinion she is not suitable to broadcast as an entertainer. Every morning she repeats text messages, reads from the news papers, has an extended religous spot and thats it. Also her back timing is terrible as she cuts records short.

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.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.
