What the petition asks
Making jokes about throwing acid in peoples faces is not funny, is totally humiliating for the victims of acid attacks and almost incites people to do it. The BBC should take a stand and sack this woman immediately!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be the responsibility of the BBC, which is independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
