Stop the public funding the BBC

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

For years we the public have continued to pay a licence fee towards the BBC, yet millions of people up and down the UK do not watch the station. They have their own editorial guidelines where it states they must remain impartial as a news network, yet we continue to see impartial stories.
You can use the BBC,s own editorial guidelines in Section 4: Impartiality 4:4:12 explains in great detail.

The complete lack of reporting on the Veterans issues and the continued reference to Brexiteers being stupid, and now we have the BBC mocking the President of the United States.
We do not want to pay the licence fee anymore as its not in the best interest of our Country.
