Remove the accolade & Royal Charter from the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The term British Broadcasting Corporation is no longer appropriate as the broadcaster’s output appears not to promote British public life and values in a positive way. It should be more supportive of our heritage and culture. Government should have strict rules against the BBC’s anti-British output.
It’s accepted that we have a large number of multi cultural broadcasting services available via television and radio in the United Kingdom who are not part of the BBC, many of these are dedicated services for different cultural groups.

Britain needs a strong & supportive British Broadcasting organisation. The BBC is not giving support to British values & culture and is willing to platform those who want to put Britain down, allowing many artists etc to attack our culture & values with impunity.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
