Fire Robbie Gibb and a handful of Tory cronies appointed by Johnson and the rest
That’s all it would take for the BBC to turn a corner and begin on the road to recovery.

Unlike the NHS, which surely needs much greater funding and assistance to maintain itself, the BBC could be 'fixed' in a matter of days or weeks. How many bad actors in high positions do you think would be needed to be fired and replaced with sensible, fair folk before the old Beeb would be back?

The same people were extremely quiet when ‘nobody’ resigned at Fox after paying Dominion Voting Systems a $787 million settlement in the voting machine company's defamation lawsuit after Fox repeatedly claimed their machines were rigged in the 2020 presidential election.
For all it’s faults it doesn’t have to fulfil a billionaire owners political agenda like GB News for example. While people like Trump and Farage launch very vocal attacks when it gets something wrong, it’s when it gets it’s reporting right that scares them the most.
"Despite ... having been led for the last five years by a close ally of the Tories, being overseen by committees of Tory appointees, and Turness's own efforts to skew news story selection to "win over" Reform supporters, the right in this country want to see the BBC destroyed."

If I had only 6 letters to describe Britain, they would be NHS-BBC.
Both have been under sustained attack by politicians for over decade.
And I would be dishonest if I didn’t point out the BBC has played a major role in attacking our NHS.
Nevertheless, both are utterly essential to our democracy.

The wheels of change turn slowly in British politics, but turn they do...
🚨 In the late 19th/early 20th century many people scoffed at the idea that Labour could replace the Liberals. But it can and does happen. Parties emerge and parties decline. Starmerism is currently killing the Labour party. It speaks to no one. It inspires no one. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They may lack Labour’s party machine, but Zack Polanski’s burgeoning popularity could have seismic consequences for British politics, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.
