Rejected petition Remove the BBC Royal Charter

Convince the Crown that the BBC should have its Royal Charter removed and the Govt to defund.

More details

The Royal Charter states:

The Royal Charter is the constitutional basis for the BBC. It sets out the public purposes of the BBC, guarantees its independence, and outlines the duties of the Trust and the Executive Board.

The treatment of Diana Princess of Wales surely has to be the final straw and the Govt should now be removing all funding and insist on have the charter removed.
