No signatures for a week, for a vital right to vote for whom we please, so hard fought for by men then women (Suffragettes), by getting the information we get only through television. You know we don't read manifestos.
The BBC presenter constantly attacked the man, from a small party yet to be elected, when Batley and Spen is not a council election, but a single MP job by-election (national government down in London).
So you can realise, as you watch, that if you were a voter in Batley and Spen, by the end of the BBC interview, you would be none the wiser about the policies of this man's party, nationally or locally.
The BBC presenter even talked rubbish about Tories being in national government, when the closing down of a local police station is about council property that was sold off by the Labour council too cheaply. Labour is indeed not in charge of government down in London's UK parliament (House of Commons), but then neither is the national government (Tory) in charge of closing or not closing a local police station.
My petition is not to government (who ultimately owns Channel 4), which intends at a future time, and not right away, to sell off Channel 4 television to a private company. But direct to the head of the channel, as Channel 4 television remains a self funding public broadcaster, which by law is supposed to give alternative viewpoints to the Tory or Tory clone (Labour or Lib Dems) of all other media.
Let us pension campaigners and new parties on the Left use Channel 4 television, before that is also lost to us forever.
