Stop State censorship of the BBC

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The BBC has recently axed The Mash Report for being critical of government. This in itself is representative of the larger issue of government interference in BBC programming.
The BBC should remain impartial. We pay our license fee for a free media, not for government propaganda.

Re-instate The Mash Report and ensure programming decisions are taken by an impartial committee.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The responsibility for programme choices and scheduling is a matter for the BBC and not the Government or Parliament. If you have a comment about BBC programme choices you can contact the BBC directly:
