Alastair Campbell has written that it's "not true" to say the BBC is "pro trans". Here's a TOP 40 of just some eye-catching stories and developments from just the last 12 months, involving the BBC. Could the BBC have some sort of pro trans agenda?
40. The BBC World Service has produced numerous documentaries about the plights of cross-dressing men in countries such as India, Uganda and Taiwan. One documentary about 'transgender women in Bangladesh' was broadcast SEVEN TIMES on British radio this year
39. BBC News reported that President Trump had banned 'transgender athletes from female competitions'. This was not true as 'trans men' could compete. However, the complaint about this was not upheld because BBC guidelines do not require 'absolute accuracy'
Antiques Roadshow VE Day had a crossdressing man on as a guest - the fourth time in four evenings that a BBC One show shoehorned a transvestite in. The 'clown driving a bus' theory appears to be BBC policy - here's just 10 examples of what BBC One's broadcast so far in 2025 1/10

The BBC has been obsessed with drag for a few years now but the amount of videos BBC News has made about 'drag queen children' or vulnerable adults doing drag is truly disturbing. Here's one from 2019 about an 11-year-old boy who dances for money from adults in gay bars🧵1/9

The UK mainstream media has broadcast a few documentaries about the rape gangs, which reportedly had 250,000 victims. The publicly owned Channel 4 is running a three-part series starting this week, 'Accused: The Fake Grooming Scandal', about a girl who lied about being a victim 1
Last year the publicly owned BBC ran 'Liar: The Fake Grooming Scandal' - a documentary about the same girl who lied about being a victim 2
In 2023 the BBC ran the documentary 'The Big Cases: The Lie That Destroyed a Town', also about the same girl who lied about being a victim 3

BBC News at Ten's eccentric coverage of the sentencing of Huw Edwards felt like it was minimising his crimes while pretending not to. Firstly, it mentioned his mental health struggles because he didn't get into Oxford 1/4
The BBC then referenced the fact that it had paid Huw Edwards more than £200,000 after his arrest. This led into media commentator Adam Boulton saying ... nothing about this but instead stating we should "never say never" about the paedophile "coming back" 2/4
Then a legal expert justified Huw Edwards' sentence amid online anger that it was too light - but no mention is made about the main reason for that anger; the contrast with harsher sentences for people who wrote inflammatory posts on social media in recent weeks 3/4
