This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition The BBC/Sky to cover and report on public protests in Downing Street.
The BBC is publicly funded and we deserve to know what's going on with regards to protests. News outlets have a political agenda which hides this this from them as if it's not important.
More details
There was a protest yesterday regarding the NHS and it was not reported on. This has got to stop, people have a right to know.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of the UK Government and Parliament and there is no provision for them to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion. If you would like to submit a complaint about a BBC program, you can do so using the link below:
