Rejected petition Keep Formula 1 Coverage on the BBC

More details

I petition the government to challenge the recent Formula 1 commercial rights agreement between the BBC and BSkyB.

As TV License fee payers, we already have no choice but to line the pockets of the fat-cats in the media world and should not have to pay more to watch a sport we have been following for years.

It is outrageous that only after a matter of weeks that a report into those within the BBC earning six-figure salaries is published, the corportation try to pull the wool over our eyes explaining that this is a 'cost-cutting measure'.

On behalf of the true fans of F1, I emplore you, the Government, to stand in on this debacle.
