Apart from the fact that this has very little to do with the BBC I'm not sure that 'privilege', 'contacts', 'inherited money', 'Eton' have anything to do with his success. His victory in the London Mayoral elections had nothing to do with any of the above and likewise his winning of the Conservative party leadership and subsequent General Election was down to his sheer force of personality and not his schooling at Eton or inherited money Missing the point. OK Ken Livingstone went to Tulse Hill and became London Mayor, but by and large money and power tends to get you the more prominent positions in society. Come on, that is simply a truism.

I'm with you when it comes to over powerful political influence from the corporations and lobby groups backed by their financial backers. However, for Mr and Mrs Normie, what's the point of accruing money if you get no benefit from it? Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jan 2020 1.42pm)

If anyone has any issues about an individual's personal political views finding their way into content then the opportunities to raise concerns and for them to be independently scrutinised exists.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Trevor Phillips made that point the other day BBC drama and other entertainment programming are constantly pushing a certain political agenda e.g. Doctor Who. BBC employees like Gary Lineker are on social media pushing his pro Remain anti government bias to name one of many BBC employees who do this. You can't claim the organisation is neutral and then allow your staff to publicly voice their politics. This was the point that Phillips was making maybe the actual news isn't biased but the BBC is responsible for all of it's output.
