I give it five minutes before a clip emerges of Matt Goodwin angrily telling a child that he’s part of the new elite.

Robbie Gibb should quite simply not be in that role. He makes no pretence of his own bias. While he has power the BBC will continue to rot.

Good lord, it's incredibly concerning that anything in that report was a resigning issue for anyone other than the author of the report.
Michael Prescott was ‘“shocked” that after an hour-long Panorama documentary dealing with Trump and the January 6 insurgency, there was no “similar, balancing” programme about Kamala Harris.’
More read about the machinations between the BBC resignations, the more worrying it becomes

The departure of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness means the BBC is leaderless when it needs leadership more than ever. Where are the people at the head of the BBC standing up for it?

Personally I think Tim Davie should have resigned over the abysmal quality of the most recent series of Doctor Who.

![[Scene is a DRINKS PARTY with various monstrous horror characters - proper grown-up, modern horror film type nightmare things - and they are standing around chatting. A little GREEN BLOB MONSTER called Dan is being introduced to the other monsters].
1
MONSTER 1 [introducing the little blob to the other monsters]:
Everybody, this is Dan
GROUP OF THREE MONSTERS:
Hi Dan!
2
MONSTER 2:
Pleased to meet you Dan, I’m Peter
3
MONSTER 3:
I’m Mary
MONSTER 4:
I’m Sean
4
MONSTER 1:
Peter is an extended metaphor for bereavement
5
MONSTER 1:
Mary is a manifestation of intergenerational trauma
6
MONSTER 1:
And Sean is a body-horror chimera expressing the cannibalistic dynamics of late-stage capitalism.
7
MONSTER 4:
And what do you, Dan?
8
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a green blob that lives in the toilet and bites you on the arse.
9
MONSTER 3:
Gosh…
So is that like a metaphor for… society… or…?
BLOB MONSTER:
No.
10
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a basic, old fashioned, meaningless horror movie monster. I’m a green blob in your toilet. I bite you on the arse.
11
[They all look disgusted]
12
[As the other monsters look awkward and drift away, Blob monster thinks]:
I hate parties

I think Katie Lam might actually be a psychopath.
Lam believes her policy would deport all of the proportion in pink - keeping the thin group in black - of the post-2021 legal migrant arrivals. (The draft legislation proposes similar thresholds/rules for all past grants too). She says jar is 3.5m people: an astonishing scale of mass deportations
