Centrist. London. Pro EU. Rejoiner. Democracy is under threat, not only from the dictators & authoritarians that occupy the planet, but also from within existing democracies. Private power + wealth is being used to overturn & threaten our democracy.

The BBC, DG and CEO resign over mistake in editing, yet their pro Reform stance passes through without comment. Straight away, this is BBC bias openly displayed. This is what they should have resigned over.

"So, to summarize, at a moment when the elections had left Republicans on the ropes, Democrats caved, in exchange for a couple of months of government funding and a vote on healthcare that they are bound to lose, if Republicans even hold one."

Worked for BBC as a rural reporter & was horrified to see our BBC pandering to RW & slowly losing its precious neutrality.
IMHO we have to have an independent review, probably sack some & bring in stricter rules to protect BBC from malicious outside influence

BBC Director-General & CEO resigns. Brought down over Trump report. Very strange. Is this a plot to replace them with a ideological pair of right wingers, to solidify their grip on the BBC?. The Board appoints the new DG & CEO so I'm not too hopeful that we will get people of total integrity.🙄
