Rejected petition Appoint Peter Hitchens as the next Chairman of the BBC.

The BBC is no longer seen as impartial by many. It is no longer the respected institution it once was.

The appointment of Mr Hitchens as Chairman will provide the BBC with a balanced future outlook which will restore its trust and respect among license fee payers.

More details

This is not about how the BBC is funded. This is about its reputation. If the BBC does not return to its founding principles soon, it will die.
