As a small business owner I can tell you categorically that not every one of these business owners "believed that, with Brexit, the regulatory burden on their shoulders would become less"
It was quite the opposite and plenty of small business owners campaigned to Remain for precisely this reason.

‘Gibb’s supporters say he is trying to save the BBC from itself; he was also heard last year to say that if he didn’t get his way, he would “blow the place up”.’
“a group of politically-appointed directors has forced the hand of Samir Shah,the chair, and the departure of the two most senior people in the organisation. Their resignations should be called out for what they are: political interference..”1/

This as not simply populism, it's an extreme assault on public institutions and structures. The last week has been about the BBC, but comes alongside mounting attacks on judicial independence/the European Court of Human Rights. Treating each issue in isolation will see them killed off one by one.
What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Well, I for one think it's only right and proper that the Director General of the BBC should be held to incomparably higher standards than the President of the USA.
After all, it is the BBC's DG that has his finger on the nuclear button.

It's just always someone else's fault! Sacking three coaches in 18 months just shows Knapper is out of his depth. If Attanasio keeps him on #ncfc are heading for League One again. If by some miracle we avoid it no credit whatsoever should be given to Knapper.

🎮 Games are culture and we must protect them.
I spoke in Parliament about ensuring players aren’t left behind when online games shut down. When we invest time, community and creativity in games, that matters. It deserves fairness, clarity and preservation.
