To: Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy
Petition text
Reject GB News’ proposal to gut the BBC and turn it into a Netflix-style subscription service.
---------------------------------
Why is this important?
GB News just submitted a radical proposal calling for the BBC to be completely gutted – cut back, scrapped, or hidden behind a Netflix-style subscription service. Shows like Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors, cancelled.
The plan is also being described as a “blueprint for Reform”, showing the threat to our BBC if the Reform Party wins the next election. With ministers currently making huge decisions about the BBC’s future, we can’t let these ideas take hold.
But if hundreds of thousands of us sign this petition today, we can prevent ministers bowing to GB News' demands AND show the Reform Party how unpopular these ideas are!
