We, the undersigned, call upon the BBC to halt all its plans for the off-shoring of jobs and programmes in the World Service. We deplore the fact that there has been no proper consultation with staff and their trade unions. We deplore that there has been no opportunity for staff at Bush House to contribute to a dynamic plan for the development of the BBC's international broadcasting activities. We believe that the employment conditions being offered exploit journalists in developing nations, and may not give proper protection for their safety, and that the BBC is surreptitiously dismantling the World Service in a way that may damage its editorial credibility.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting climb but the momentum tells me we cannot turn back now. It is clear that so many of you see the same disregard for journalistic integrity that I do.

Shocking lack of transparency. The journalists deserve better treatment than this.

Very disappointed in the management. They are destroying a world class institution for profit. Fix this.

The world service is a global treasure. Stop cutting corners and treat the staff with some respect.
