1/ I'm not sure I want the BBC to be "impartial".
I'm in favour of partiality, in particular -
*In favour of truth
*In favour of decency
*In favour of kindness
*In favour of humanity

2/ People working in the news should have a positive duty to point out lies; but where the lies come from ministers or other government representatives, the BBC has an extremely poor record at calling them out.
3/ I want people to be able to discuss important issues without being told to get back in their box, or keep their opinions to themselves.
