I remember the Bashir Diana interview. I remember thinking it weird that this almost unknown guy got it. But I also remember thinking she was pursuing her agenda. And now others are using it for their own agenda.
On a scale of 1 to 10 the BBC’s failings on this came in at about 3 compared with the 7 out of 10 for the tabloids on phone hacking, and the people involved in that survived.
Much more important though is that the current government comes in at 10 out of 10. Organised corruption is their crime, plus indifference to tens of thousands of deaths for which they’re responsible, about which they lie, persistently.
Somehow though it’s the BBC who has to take the hit on this. But they did not cause the dysfunctional marriage to which Diana was a party, or its demise, or the infidelity on both parts, or her death. They faked a bank statement. And a lying, corrupt government is seizing on that
There are some pretty big crooks in this world. Our government seems to include some of them. Sure, Bashir is guilty. But the charge would be shoplifting in comparison to the massive crimes this government has committed.
Can we keep some perspective on this please? And let’s keep the BBC, accepting it is bound to fail sometimes, as all organisations do? Only total hypocrites pretend otherwise.
