Rejected petition Remove Aaqil Ahmed from BBC

More details

We would like the government to remove Aaqil Ahmed as the BBC's Head of Religion & Ethics.

We strongly believe that the BBC should explicitly commit itself to, in the words of David Cameron, "Christian values". In doing so, it should appoint a Christian as Head of Religion & Ethics.
