Rejected petition Stop public funding of the BBC due to its discriminatory job application rules

To withdraw all public funding mainly through the TV licence, but also tax payer funds.

More details

News has broken within the last 24 hours that they have very recently advertised a job for two of their non-race related TV programs, that only people from ethnic minorities can apply.
This effectively excludes and discriminates against 80.5% of the UK population, the majority of whom are tax payers and TV licence holders, the very people that financially support the BBC.
