This petition was submitted during the 2010 to 2015 Parliament
Rejected petition Remove Jeremy Clarkson from Television
Rejected on
Remove this violent and bigoted man from mainstream peak television.
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.
