Rejected petition Removing BBC license after Savile scandal, money should be returned to pubblic to compensate the fact that a criminal was allowed to work there.

More details

We believe that the BBC should not only remove the License but also return all the money that was paid by the public while Savile was working for the BBC. BBC staff was aware of Savile's crime and did nothing to stop him and was paying his wages with public money. The public should decide where those money should be allocated most probably to a charitable organisation.
