Following today's latest idiocy from Nick Robinson over the RBS announcement, the a Trust must be aware that the BBC as a taxpayer funded service should not be damaged by those of it's staff engaged in the public eye or behind the scenes.

recemt activity has shown these named individuals cannot meet basic standards of integrity, never mind the guidelines or BBC Charter.

it is therefore incumbent on the Trust as protector of the reputation of the BBC to investigate the actions of these people and dismiss them for what appears to be serious breaches of the charter, specifically in terms of fairness, balance and ensuring accuracy of information and credentials.

There are others, however the most serious breaches of the standards are by Nick Robinson and Sarah Smith and as people responsible for applying the guidelines and charter Ric a Bailey and Tony Hall are both complicit.

I note in the Charter that the Trust has a legal duty to ensure that the Charter is applied and therefore this petition is justified in requesting you pursue an investigation into the actions and behaviour of the BBC and its employees.
