The world service remains something to be very proud of. In many countries, which have national broadcasters who are controlled by their governments, it is still the most trusted source of news and information. It is arguably our most valuable export, as it sets us apart from almost everyone else and shows the best aspects of British standards of respect and accuracy. An image that is very important but under threat from the current government and especially the PM.

Funding that export, via the licence fee, and keeping the government's, of any hue, mucky hands off it, seems like very good value for money to me. Money we should all be willing and proud to pay.

It's not all about "me" and what "I" get out of it. It's much bigger than that.

Wholeheartedly agree with all that (and that's a first).

I too see the World Service as something to be proud of, possibly unique in the world, and offering truth and hope to people who might otherwise be deprived of those things. But in my case it is indeed also 'about "me" and what "I" get out of it': when I'm driving, and Radio 4 and LBC are getting on my nerves, I have no hesitation in switching to World Service - and then often staying with it.

Try classic fm. Very calming with no opinions or stupid competitions.

Poor old Huw has upset the virtue signalling woke brigade so he is being "spoken to" for daring to not follow the party line.
Given what many other BBC employees say on their twitter it just goes to show what a waste of our money they really are.

These spineless fools have no idea what they are unleashing.

One simple question. When will the 'offended' be satisfied?

I think we all know the answer.

Cultural Marxists.

Extorting money from Joe Public to pay for his own indoctrination.

giving sanctuary & opportunity to Paedo's like Rolf Harris & Jimmy Savile.


Like a cross between Tony Soprano & Cyril Smith.

If you actually read the story, you might just understand that the BBC are not talking to him about what he wrote. They are talking about whether expressing any personal opinion by a BBC journalist conflicts with their impartiality obligations.

I would have thought the hard-right posters here would approve of that! You wouldn't want a BBC journalist expressing support for views you disagree with, though obviously you believe that already happens. With this story, you now have an open door to challenge the BBC over any personal utterance by BBC journalists that you believe aren't impartial. Good luck. Please share the responses here.

And you believe that do you? They are using that reasoning as an excuse. Sometimes the written word isn't actually how it is.
Expressing a perfectly understandable opinion is freedom of speech and you always give that credence I thought.

BBC journalists are, so far as I am aware, contractually bound by the requirements of the BBC to remain impartial, both in their presentation of the output and in any personal opinions they express publicly. If they accept the contact, then they must also accept its restrictions.

It has nothing to do with freedom of speech. If anyone feels unable to accept the restrictions, then they are free not to sign, or resign if they already have.
