Rejected petition Sack Jeremy Clarkson

More details

Jeremy Clarkson is employed by the BBC, an institution funded by us the British Tax Payers.
He continually makes statements that show he is an insensitive bigot. His reward for this incredibly crass and rude persona is in excess of £1million a year.
We the people pay his wages, and it is about time the government used their influence on the state owned BBC and removed this idiot from our lives.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a matter for the BBC.

It is a long-standing principle that the Government does not interfere in programme matters. It is important to maintain the principle of freedom of expression which political interference could undermine.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
