What the petition asks
The BBC has a Charter obligation to be independent in fulfilment of its mission. It has repeatedly shown itself incapable of providing impartial reportage on major political issues. Its latest insults aimed at President Trump during a state visit to the UK are demeaning for a state broadcaster.
The licence fee is no longer fit for purpose and should be scrapped as a matter of urgency.
