What the petition asks

Many people in this country are unhappy with the BBC's biased and propagandistic coverage against topics such as Brexit, British Identity, Donald Trump, Russia, etc. Britons are very tired of this, and a measure of balance would restore our faith in our system.

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 your suggestion.
