Rachel apparently is 'the decent one'. |
I thought Jo was? |  |

Jo “job with Dyson before a huge contract award” Johnson? | | | |

Hopefully this will be the start of accountability for all who participated or facilitated this.
The lack or morality by people if they are being well paid or benefit financially never ceases to amaze me, the prevalence of sexual preditators, not so much.
And there needs to be direct accountability in the BBC on their decisions.
The pressure needs to be ranked up there and I suspect it will. | | | |

Yes, if only daddy got to face the consequences of his pension thefts.. |
The relevant SoS at the time of Maxwell's death was like a rabbit in the headlights; he didn't know it meant or what needed to be done. It had to be explained to him in words of one syllable.
But that was too much for him, so he just told the Civil Servants to sort it out and not bother him. |  |

Dershowitz isn’t a suitable “impartial analyst” on pretty much anything. The guy is a ghoul.
But gobsmacking that the BBC used him here. So obviously inappropriate a choice to anyone with a brain, an iota of journalistic integrity or a smidgen of humanity. |  |

Nothing should surprise given we’ve got the shonkiest media and some of the lowest press standards in the developed world.
But this is getting silly.
These are the people who are tasked with talking truth to power and establishing public and democratic accountability. If anyone wants a clue as to how Johnson and his cronies got elected and behave the way they do, you don’t need to look much further than that. | |

This should now go to the top of the BBC (or to an independent enquiry) and heads roll. |  |

Only problem with that is that the top of the BBC including the News section isn’t exactly stuffed with truth-seeking journalists or indeed public servants.
It’s a pit of establishment politics trading in power, money and influence. Which I suspect is why the case and verdict are being handled so shoddily and unethically in the first place. | |

Indeed, & that's why I mentioned "or an independent enquiry", because looking up the Board members, you find that the DG (who is also described as "Editor in Chief" and who chairs the Executive Committee) is on the Board, as is the non-Exec. Chairman & other non-exec members - who are "appointed by HM The Queen on the recommendation of Ministers"! | |

Hmmm. I’d like that but I don’t see much chance of a truly independent inquiry getting let loose on the BBC.
I can however see a politically motivated inquiry let loose to make it even more deferential to the interests of the rich and powerful.
We’re already halfway down that particular slippery slope. | |

I'll happily nail my colours to the BBC mask, but will also happily agree they're well off with this one.
Are the editors off on their Christmas break or something?
The statement regarding not meeting editorial standards is a small step I suppose. |  |

That's how they referred to the Savile victims back in the day as well. |
The Sunday Sport have played a blinder with their reply to the BBC apology tweet.
I struggle to see how she can appeal when she declined to give any evidence. Its not as if she can complain that her side of things was unfairly ignored. | | | |

Thought same re editors/sub-editors, but given the apology statement, you'd have thought they'd have broadcast (sorry) a directive or two around internally so that radio, hours later, didn't carry on repeating the same mistake live on air ... | |

You'd like to think that now she has been found guilty the next phase will be to start rounding up the nonces associated with her/Epstein and prosecute them.
However, the cynic in me thinks that the list of scum is so vast and contains so many high profile names that things will go very quiet..
Hoping to be proved wrong. |  | | |

And beeb are still to apologise for their misreporting of the Chanukah bus attack from earlier in the month. Instead they’ve doubled down. Whoever the editor of news is there he or she needs to go.
