We ask the government to open up a independent investigation against the BBC

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You can find out how to make a complaint here:

You could also start a new petition calling on the Government to establish new arrangements for the oversight of the BBC if that is something you would like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
