Both Samir Shah and Robbie Gibb should be fired from the BBC, in fact the entire BBC Board should be fired.
And replaced with an elected board voted by the people of the UK.
Because there is nothing British about the US Billionaire bootlicking sham we have now.

Posting a meme of himself as a king with opponents kneeling isn’t a joke when it comes from someone calling for elected officials to be jailed. It reflects a mindset that sees political power as personal authority, not constitutional duty.
