Rejected petition Reverse the planned privatisation of Radio 4

The IEA, a think tank which is strongly associated with the Tory party, has begun the process of privatising 60% of the Radio 4. This is truly shocking news; the BBC should remain a public asset. Putting profit ahead of being an unbiased service puts power into the hands of the super rich.
