@kibcol1049 Love to see it. Are we going to be taking a fire hose to the current board to clean things up? It’s sorely needed, and I’m not just talking about former Conservative government apparatchiks.

@bee @kibcol1049
End to political appointees? Only while there’s a *Labour* government.

@OneInterestingFact @bee Time to stop all political appointments and all funding. Then of course those enormously high salaries and sanitised reports will go too.

@kibcol1049 @OneInterestingFact I don’t agree with defunding them tbh. I’m for accountability. All sorts of hideously worse shit will flow into the space left behind by the Beeb if it goes.

@bee @OneInterestingFact I respect your decision, it used to be mine too. I've changed since I realised how much the presenters get paid and the recent bad editorial decisions. I've started to get my news from one of the many other sources available now. TV programs on the numerous other channels and platforms are much better these days. Sadly I no longer think I would miss the BBC.

@kibcol1049 @bee @OneInterestingFact But you can only (legally) watch (live) "TV programs" on other channels and platforms if you buy a BBC subscription ...
