Closed Remove the use of the word British from the British Broadcasting Cooperation

Closed on

Remove the word British from the BBC. It can still be called BBC but the first B would not stand for British. Some people find the use of the word British deeply offensive and its historical coronations deeply hurtful. Others find that the BBC no longer represents British people.
