Robbie Gibb's reported comment that if he did not get his way, he would 'blow the place up' suggests an attitude that is neither measured nor constructive. He is contributing to significant damage to the reputation of the BBC. As Sir Ed Davey argues Gibb’s position is untenable.

Canada was measles free from 1998.
The loss of measles elimination status is the result of declining trust in public messaging about science and health, which has led to decreased vaccination rates.
The consequences of being anti vax spread far and wide.
We are not too far behind.

I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed
‘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/

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

If that happens then yes it will be good for Selly Oak residential streets. With Perry Barr of course they sold and knocked down the @mybcu.bsky.social campus including sadly the David Cox building - no relation 🫤
but I see this much better than tudents living in residential areas etc and easier to control and then frees that accomodation up for year long residents ? Already seeing that around perrybarr when it closed then
