Lord Hall of Birkenhead resigns from the BBC.
Posted: 20 Jan 2020, 13:24He's the current head of BBC, don't you know, and all the luvvies, staffers and others from the 'entertainment' bubble are all fawning over him. He was brilliant, masterful and an innovater.
No he wasn't. He was weak, dull and boring. He oversaw a number of equal pay disputes, (justified) accusations of bias in its news service, and the mess that is the TV licence model of funding. He lost most of the major sports, dumbed down BBC One and Two, ushered in rabid political correctness, 'diversity' and godness knows how many agendas. He thought that paying £millions would bring in the best talent, but what we got was Alan shearer, Lineker, Alex Jones, Vanessa Feltz, Victoria Derbyshire, et al, and dozens of auto-cue readers paid more than the PM. He has changed the BBC beyond all recognition and probably to the point where it cannot recover.
Anyone who reads comments about the BBC would see that there is a large minority, and a growing one, who would scrap the licence fee (tax) and make the BBC pay its own way either by adverts or having some of its output on pay-per-view. They question whether it needs 11 TV channels and 57 radio stations as well as the biggest news website. It has grown way too big in trying to reach every sector of society, and this at a time when more and more people access their entertainment by other means.
