A bit of a simple reading. The BBC represents a British liberal democratic set of values of a Britain which is under fire, contested & in retreat. It is a take increasingly problematic & out of kilter with the bitterly divided UK of the present.

I don't even follow your point.

That was not the point I am remotely making. Scottish indy is profoundly democratic. My argument was exploring the way the British liberal democratic values which the BBC embodies are now increasingly contested & challenged by right, left & Scottish independence.

There is a sustained, right-wing ideological campaign to undermine & ultimately destroy the BBC which the Telegraph is central to. Shouldn't you guys be dealing with this rather than getting hung up on technicalities? The right-wing onslaught is not abt facts or detail; it is an ideological crusade.

For her principled anti-fascism which included translating the text of Mein Kampf into English rather than the sanitised German version she was deselected by her Tory association & narrowly lost a 1938 by-election despite Lab & Lib support.
