He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Did the tourism industry get drunk and impulsively lay off all their lobbyists? Maybe all the foreign tourism bigwigs died of Covid? Why is there no pushback against the destruction of a $200 billion industry?
The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

To my U.K friends, American beef is absolute shite and you know it. We pump it full of chemicals, feed it corn and torture the animals. It’s an awful industry designed for fast food chains. It’s also a huge cause of global warming. Skip it.
