Rejected petition The BBC must choose between the Licence fee or EU subsidy.

The BBC is showing complete bias towards the EU since the referendum result. It is still in receipt of EU subsidies. The BBC must either refuse these subsidies or the license fee must be stopped. The BBC is a British institution and cannot work for two masters!

From the Telegraph in 2012.....BBC admits receiving millions in grants from EU and councils
The BBC received millions of pounds from the European Union and local authorities over the past four years, These "bribes" are continuing, and have severely undermined peoples trust in the BBC. The Corporation seems to have completely lost its sense of fairness, and the public are now boycotting its programs in droves. Why should the public pay for the BBC when the EU are using it as a mouthpiece?
