Submitted by Alex Kirby of None – Deadline to sign up by: 21 July 2007 – Signatures: 218
This petition wants to make sure that the BBC, one of the United Kingdom's most valuable and cherished gifts to the rest of the world, does not agree to accept advertisements on its news website. It is born of a conviction that the BBC's editorial independence must at all costs be safeguarded and would be fatally compromised by the acceptance of any advertisements.
