Rejected petition THE BBC SHOULD SACK JO BRAND.

Joe Brand stating, whether in jest on a comedy programme or not, than milk shake throwing at people of a different political view should be replaced by throwing acid over the same politicians is manifestly irresponsible and dangerous and for the BBC to refuse to sanction her is unacceptable.

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 government and there is no provision for the Government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

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