Donate 5% of Profits from MTV’s The Valleys to local charity Petition

As someone who has family living in the Valleys and is sick of the negative stereotypes, continued exploitation and attitudes towards the residents i’m happily support and promote the call for Viacom MTV's owners to doante 5% of their profits of the show to a local valleys charity if we have to endure this car crash TV for the foreseeable future  - If you agree the Petition is HERE

And for all those Cardiff residents saying this is what Valleys folk are like and complaining they ruin their City on weekend, here’s a great last paragraph to an article from award winning author Rachel Tresize on the cynical exploitation of MTV with The Valleys 

After the 1794 opening of the Glamorganshire Canal, constructed to float iron and coal from the valleys to the nearest coast, (which happened to be Cardiff), international trade encouraged a dock and then a dockland to spring up around the canal’s mouth. Without it we’d find ourselves in a very different Wales: the valleys town of Merthyr Tydfil its capital and Cardiff a mere ‘hamlet’.
