Stop the Government from abolishing the BBC as we know it.

What the petition asks
Leave the BBC alone and do not change its funding model.
The BBC belongs to the nation and should not be vandalised by any Government out of pure political spite. The BBC should be funded properly as an internationally respected organisation and it should be championed. Not abolished.
