Says it all about the Woke-Left #BiasedBBC, doesn't it, that Edwards was reprimanded for ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ to the 'decolonisation'-inspired removal of a statue, on the grounds that its removal was 'censoring history'? telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/11/0โฆ
And to add insult to injury, the #BBC, which never misses an opportunity to ram its own anti-heritage, anti-white woke revisionism down our throats, actually had the gall to say Edwards was risking breaching its internal impartiality guidelines.
You couldn't make it up....
And this only 2 days after D-G Davie in effect ๐ฆ๐น๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ the #BBC from responsibility to observe any impartiality or balance whatsoever on 'climate-change', b/c the BBC now regards it as so settled as to be politically uncontroversial. #DefundTheBBC
Result: the #BBC has in effect unilaterally either re-written or abrogated the clauses of its own Charter which require political impartiality, simply by declaring the entire 'climate-change' issue to be non-political. #DefundTheBBC
"How can we circumvent our Charter restrictions requiring political impartiality, so that we can not only present, but even campaign for, one specific viewpoint and ignore the other?
Easy. Just 'decide' that it's non-political!" #DefundTheBBC telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/11/0โฆ

So the same #BBC that unapologetically beams the foulest language & most extreme perversions at its audience to promote the Woke-Left agenda feels the need to apologise at 3.24. a.m for a double Olympic gold-medallist dropping an F-bomb in exulting at his victory. #DefundTheBBC
No need even to guess. They'd already started.
๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ in abundance as #BBC deluged with viewer complaints at its thus far faltering & disjointed #Olympics coverage, & across several different sports & occasions. #DefundTheBBC telegraph.co.uk/olympics/2021/โฆ
THREAD 1/4 Part of my cynical brain wondering whether the Johnson Junta is actually following a devious plan to deliberately go OTT on both #oneruleforthem entitlement & repressive Covid-authoritarianism, in the hope of generating a public backlash so big...

OK, tweeps, hereโs my take, FWIW, on Boris Johnsonโs possible โlogicโ-tree on sacking Matt Hancock.
Interested in hearing your (NB non-abusive!) thoughts.
THREAD
2/7 BJ would prefer MH gone. MH has now destroyed any former usefulness he had as a human shield for BJ over Covid, and as a lightning rod for growing public discontent.
But - on what grounds to sack him without damage to, or at least with minimum damage to, BJ himself ?
3/7
Canโt sack MH over the infidelity.
(a) on its own, purely a private matter.
(b) too many skeletons in BJโs own closet on that score
(c) unlikely to be only minister or MP in same situation
Legit Q now if Hancock's alleged infidelity was solely that, with no other probity connotations.
Apart fm accusations of cronyism re Coladangelo's appointment, was it also to bring her into daily contact with him, & on public payroll, as cover for affair? thetimes.co.uk/article/matt-hโฆ
If nothing else, ๐'๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ณ๐ฆ Hancock yet again shows starkly the apparently widespread "rules are for you, but not for us" entitlement of our ruling caste.
We saw it on the insouciant disregard of masks & S-D at #G7, we're now seeing it again in Whitehall. #DrainTheSwamp
Throughout his political career, Hancock has always had the air of someone for whom Hubris would eventually meet and be defeated by deserved Nemesis.
Is this it?
Quite compelling viewing, this. Three #BBC D-Gs being grilled in succession.
Doesn't always happen, but this particular one is HoC scrutiny working as it should. Irrespective of political affiliation, all @CommonsDCMS members rightly excoriating their studied evasiveness.
Summary (in effect) Lords Hall & Birt:
"We re-hired the guy whom we knew/suspected was a liar with previous form in faking docs, & who'd been sacked for wrongdoing in US media, & who we knew was moonlighting for ITV while working for us.
But neither of us is in any way to blame"
DCMS Chair Knight: "Well, I've heard victim-blaming before, but this is quite something!"
Chair of Commons DCMS Select Ctte giving ex #BBC D-G Lord Hall-Hall a serious grilling on the re-hiring of Bashir.
Haw-Haw being evasive, in effect blaming subordinates.
Obviously no sign on ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด desk saying "The buck stops here" to go with his salary.
Chair: How was this known liar (Bashir) being paid"
Haw-Haw denies knowledge of, or involvement in, Bashir's pay arrangements, on grounds he was trying to run the whole of the #BBC.
"Nothing to do with me, Guv".
Lord Hall-Hall insists no knowledge of how Bashir came to be allowed to, in effect, moonlight at ITV while being paid by the #BBC.
Taking 'hands-off' management to a whole new level, presumably. #DCMSSelectCtte
