It has been 24 days since @BBC announced that it had launched an “internal review” into how it commissioned and aired a so-called documentary on Gaza that spotlighted the family member of a Hamas official. It was later revealed that licence fee money actually went to that Hamas family. No other broadcaster in Britain would be allowed to get away with marking its own homework with a mere internal review into such a major scandal, which is why we have called for an independent investigation. We will not let the BBC kick this into the long grass with an endless review. The BBC must publish the result of its naval-gazing, and then we can have a proper independent investigation, which a majority of the British public supports. Until there is an independent investigation, clearly the licence fee must be suspended. Sign the petition at https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/suspendthelicencefee
