Allegations from 1997-2000, investigated in 2018 without charge, sacked in 2026. 

Nobody can accuse the BBC of dragging their feet this time!

A couple of headlines today, pointing out Beeb issues. Newspaper editorial filters....ON!

There goes impartiality. Beeb can say that no editorial decisions are made by civil service secondment staff. That doesn't mean that the writers aren't backing their bosses, and also have communication channels to them. 

There's also paying for the civil service, who are then in the Beeb, that we also pay for.

The Beeb gets thumped from all sides over impartiality. There's also no doubt that when the gov threaten the license fee, or when they reported on the death of David Kelly, they jumped to the government's tune in the aftermath. But having the civil service do the writing is a dreadful look. I think I heard it had been going on under a couple of parties.

BBC Bite size shaping the policy decisions our children will make, when they grow up. Perhaps it's civil service staff that are overseeing the educational content too? Others will just see it as yet another example of ideological capture in the Beeb.

Yesterday, I heard the Beeb's great idea to fund it's pensions, I mean, educate, inform and entertain, was to charge people watching you tube. The beeb's recent announcements of more you tube content, now seems nothing to do with broadening their reach, and all to do with pretending everyone with access to their videos, must pay regardless of actually viewing it.
