Rejected petition The BBC should be privatised

More details

In recent years the BBC has demonstrated a total disregard for obtaining value for money for the license fee.

Whether it is overspending on building projects, the vast number of staff sent to report on stories from abroad or salaries - it is an organisation which shows little interest in obtaining value for money and should be privatised.
