Robbie Gibb said if he doesn't get his way, he'll blow the BBC up. It's ridiculous that a man like that has a spot on the BBC's board. Our public broadcaster MUST be independent. Agree? Sign to get Gibb sacked:

I love this. Making the same demand as Patriotic Millionaires shows we’re listening & making sensible decisions based on facts. This inspires active hope that we can reclaim our country & our communities from the grasp of the greedy, corrupt, exploitative minority. This Green team is a dream team.
