Save Our BBC: Give the public a real say
Give the public a real say on the future of the BBC to protect it from outside interference and stop its enemies from tearing it apart
Why is this important?
The BBC isn't perfect, but we must come together to make it better and stronger. We must use the upcoming Royal Charter review to protect our BBC for us, the British public.
For too long, the public has been shut out of major decisions about the BBC. Governments have abused their power over the Royal Charter, twisting the BBC’s purposes to suit their own interests, while back-room negotiations have damaged its accountability.
Right now, the BBC is in danger. Donald Trump is threatening to sue our public broadcaster for billions. But this is just the latest in a long line of attacks from people who want to weaken the BBC.

We cannot allow the whims of foreign leaders or political pressure to dictate the future of our national broadcaster. The Government must put the British public at the centre of the upcoming Charter review to ensure the BBC answers to us - not to the likes of Donald Trump.
