A few lines later they say, "information about her political affiliations would not have called the validity of her concerns into doubt in the minds of viewers." Blimey, talk about wanting it both ways.

I would have got the most unbiased unimpeachable expert I could find but no they go for one of their mates in the Labour party. Do they not get that they then become the story not the failing of the government. For a media company they really do not understand "the media". Idiots. One more point

The problem with that for the BBC, however, is that the unimpeachable experts (scientists, medics, professors) refuse to join in the political game. I can't remember which expert was on the Today programme this morning, but Nick Robinson tried every way he knew to get him to criticise the government. Far from doing so, he actually at one point praised the government. I doubt whether he'll be invited back (sorry, that's probably going too far).

I just found this thread. The BBC is a disgrace and should be defunded. It's bias is embarrassing and everyone bar them knows it. Anyway - any business that pays Gary Lineker £2m a year should be shut for that reason alone!

Maybe my relative who worked in the French Radio dept at Bletchley Park shouldn’t have bothered in case someone got hurt defending our freedom and the world from tyranny. Could’ve ended up being a better option in a few generations’ time. I am hoping to be the first family member to visit my grandfather’s grave in Italy ( he left a widow and 5 children behind) but I don’t want to be condemned as a racist/facist for dining this. Can’t understand why he went to fight for a country being governed by Churchill the racist.

Any business can pay whatever it wants to who ever it wants. Lives or dies by its commercial decision. The BBC though is not a business. It is an institution of Government which people are forced to pay for. It should be required to have a salary cap in line with that of the highest paid civil servant because that is what effectively people who work or appear on the BBC are.

Why can't the beeb refresh their staff like Lineker I get fed up with the same old faces saying the same old things. What do the same old team Shearer Wright actually say? 'He will be disappointed with that'. How illuminating.

Eaglecoops CR3 28 Jul 20 5.11pm
About 15 years ago I had the pleasure of staying at the BBC’s training centre in Evesham for a few weeks whilst holding a few training courses. I shiite you not, the food is gourmet standard, I had a four poster bed in a grand wing of the house and silver service 4 meals a day. Opulence exudes from everyone corridor all paid for by the licence fee. To top it all they have one of the largest underground nuclear bunkers in the country there which is fully kitted out to broadcast news in the event of war. They are a dinosaur and along with those working there relics of the past. It is time to move on from funding their lavish lifestyles and their political bias. Defund the BBC.
