What the petition asks
To put forward a motion in Parliament and for MPs to vote -To stop the public funding and license fee payment for the BBC.
Because the BBC is no longer an independent media channel, as it was originally created to be.
The BBC itself has admitted to being politically biased, as have its many staff. British tax payer funds should be for public institutions that believe and deliver on equality of voice, views and opinions.
If you are not independent then one should not be in receipt of British tax payers money.
