Probably worth mentioning that could potentially ruin her chance of getting a successful response, but as you’re a nice person you’ll overlook it this time.

76% felt the BBC is an asset for the UK around the world, but in recent years the BBC has pared back its service around the world, including cuts to some foreign language services in vital locations.

67% of respondents said they want the BBC to maintain the amount of news it produces in future as it does today. Why, then, has the BBC since announced further reductions in news coverage (proposals to cut evening news broadcasts, for example) and reductions to the BBC World Service?

43% think that the BBC is independent of the government of the day, versus 38% who said it isn't. That should have set off a nuclear bomb in the minds of those governing the BBC, given the clear damage to a central philosophy of its output.

The Government (rightly) punished those backbenchers who voted for the SNP amendment (and implicitly against the King’s Speech) last year, seen as voting against the manifesto on which they were elected, yet now plans to break a manifesto pledge itself (yet again).
