Background
The BBC is increasingly seen as politically biased, especially in its international coverage. Combined with rising fees and the removal of free licences for pensioners, many feel forced to pay for content they don’t trust or want. The public deserves a neutral, accountable broadcaster, funded fairly in a modern media environment.
