The most important thing about Auntie is she is paid for by the taxpayer.
I my view she should be regulated by a taxpayer representative body which is outside government or political influence.
It belongs to every single one of us...

An excellent exposé of the real constraint influencing BBC editorial, namely fear of the 'Right' & let's face it, it tends to be those of more authoritarian tendencies or self serving financial interest who complain most about lack of Free Speech whilst trying most to shut it down.

I'm not about to go up against Joshua Rozenberg on legal analysis, but his assessment on Radio 4 right now seems a bit odd. First, BBC player *isn't* available in Florida, is it? That's why you need a vpn to watch the Beeb there.

And they claim they're not a cult 🙄
I know this is an obvious and old point, but it still shocks me how quickly the culture of the GOP has come to defined by the absurd personality type of the "toad-licking, ass kissing alpha." Amazing that they've built an audience that finds such deportment appealing, rather than disqualifying.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

Just wtf is this?
I can’t think of many more unifying causes than standing up for the BBC against this absurd threat from Trump.
And Farage will be on his side, snivelling along like the school-bully-errand-boy that he is. Traitorous little bastard.
