Indeed. The BBC is in my view one of Britain‘s most important institutions. It is imperfect.
Everything is.
You destroy it at your peril.
If ever there was a time to rally around something very British, it is now.
Just an outsider‘s opinion.

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

Some on the right have a visceral hatred of the BBC. Not because it’s biased, but because it isn’t.

I continue to think that the BBC is one of Britain’s most important institutions, and it has been an honour to occasionaly contribute to their work in recent years. It has set international standards of journalism.
The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

I'm also terribly proud that people who go on as guests of the World Service, or who listen, might hopefully come to associate Britain with its output: curious, gentle, fair, expansive. I hate all that 'soft power' bollocks, but it's a tremendously good shop window for a country.

This is just bloody awful. It’s almost as if BBC executives are deliberately intent on destroying the things that make the BBC a unique broadcasting institution. Dreadful
Truly terrible move by BBC World Service to axe its flagship science news show #ScienceInAction, the world's best, smartest science journalism in audio for a global audience. Host @peaseroland.bsky.social is the most insightful, informed, energetic journo in the BBC Science Universe.

Not to be dramatic, but there really are days when I feel scared of the future.
Like, to pick an example at random, today.
What we are witnessing is an assault on the very concept of truth.
The armed conflicts we see unfolding all over the world will be accompanied by turmoil &doubt in our heads.
