SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Of course had Labour sorted out the BBC and sacked people like Gibb it wouldn’t be in such a mess. Another fail due to stupidity or lack of backbone

It turns out sucking up to a racist authoritarian with sycophantic royal parades doesn't protect you from his childish rants and legal warfare.

The BBC case should be our Canada moment.

The British don't like bullies - we stand up to them.

Are you aware that The Critic is a politically funded broadsheet? It’s part of the group funded from 55 Tufton Street. This goes beyond leaning – it was funded to promulgate right-wing ideas.

The BBC has long pursued a strategy of appeasing its enemies and alienating its friends.

The result is an endless series of capitulations to those political forces most determined to destroy it

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “Putin has tools that can destroy the European Union as an organization, but also Europe as a cultural phenomenon.
