Committed to rejoining the EU. Had the luxury denied by our children of working and living all over Europe as an IT Contractor in the 1990's and early 2000's. Hate the Tories.
Detest Trump
Love cricket 🏏 and follow my little hometown of Brentford FC.

A return to unbiased reporting like they had in the 90's when I worked for them and was proud to would be nice.
They should clear out all the pro Reform saluting bastards.

8/ Hope we hear from Tim Davie and Deborah Turness about why they resigned.
Seems likely they realised that the BBC Board was unwilling to defend the BBC, its employees & its values from sustained, ideologically motivated attack. Who'd want to stay on after such a betrayal?

6/ Michael Prescott is an old friend of Robbie Gibb & was on the panel to choose the head of Ofcom when Boris Johnson was PM.
Gibb tried to swing it for a Tory apparatchik but was overruled by (of all people) Nadine Dorries, who preferred another.

5/ Boris Johnson knows full well that Trump tried to illegally overturn the US election result & encouraged those who violently assaulted the US Capitol on January 6.
Now he's giving ammunition to Trump & the billionaire media barons who aim to destroy the BBC.
Contemptible.

Left: Boris Johnson attacking the BBC over Panorama's coverage of Trump on Jan 6th
Right: Boris Johnson criticising Trump over Jan 6th
A former British PM attacking the BBC, is that really patriotism?

4/ Robbie Gibb was heard last year to say that if he didn’t get his way with the BBC, he would “blow the place up”.
Someone has certainly blown the place up very effectively.

3/ It would be interesting to know exactly what role BBC Board member Robbie Gibb played in this affair.
Whoever leaked Michael Prescott's inflammatory & ideologically loaded memo must have known what damage it would do to the BBC.
Cui bono?

2/ Hanover has been described as expert in media manipulation & covert lobbying.
You could be forgiven for seeing the leaking of Michael Prescott's inflammatory memo as a textbook example of media manipulation (with the full connivance of the Daily Telegraph et al).
