Rejected petition Demand the £5m legal fees from Cliff Richard case are paid by BBC bosses

The BBC have been fined £210,000 but the legal fees are estimated to be £5m from each side. These fines should not not be funded by licence fee money and should instead be funded by those persons responsible. Otherwise the licence fee should be scrapped and the BBC privatised.
