Rejected petition Legislate to safeguard the Classified Football Results on the BBC each Saturday

Drive the BBC to reinstate the Classified Results at 1700 each Saturday, either through legislation or via routine budgetary negotiations.

More details

The Classified Results are a national institution and for the BBC to have removed them from the schedule without public consultation is massive own goal, which needs to be called out by the government and opposition.
