Two things going on: 1. Rather than enforcing journalistic integrity throughout the organisation, the BBC panders to false equivalence between "right" and "left". The result is performative decisions that go awry as they’re not grounded in principle. 2. Bad people want it gone for selfish reasons.

Stay On These Roads reminds me of a cold morning listening to Mike Smith’s breakfast show on Radio 1 medium wave. I don’t think I've been up that early since. #forgotten80s

Overall, the BBC has become too enmeshed with politics; its integrity poisoned by agendas and performative decision-making. It’s right that it should be held to a high standard but let’s not pretend Fox and GB "News" are anything other than pernicious tripe.

Just stumbled on #CallMyBluff from 1977 on BBC Four. Good grief - the format is extraordinarily dull and everyone’s so stiff and posh. How telly has changed. Although I guess without it, we might not have ended up with the excellent Would I Lie To You.
