I'm not surprised that someone has written a book defending the BBC from the political Right (while seemingly ignoring the critiques from the Left).
But I *am* surprised that it's Peter York.

The top priority would be to "renew our commitment to impartiality", he said....He added: "If you want to be an opinionated columnist or a partisan campaigner on social media then that is a valid choice, but you should not be working at the BBC."New social media guidelines for presenters and staff will be "rigorously enforced", he said.

(was mostly tongue in cheek. we are waiting on published guidelines and then we will see. a lot of staff rightly not happy about this.)

Assumption that he’s talking about on-air news presenters but “should not be working at the BBC” is wide enough to include like, HR staff and second oboist so yeah - need clarification there. Requiring that every employee be devoid of engagement and political conviction is not going to lead to better output

here is a news story about three horrific unjustifiable murders
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54729957
here is a section of that story called What's the context?
Nice was the target of one of France's deadliest attacks in recent years, when a 31-year-old Tunisian drove a truck into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on 14 July 2016, killing 86 people.Days later a priest, Father Jacques Hamel, had his throat cut during morning Mass at a church in Rouen.Thursday's attack has echoes of another attack earlier this month near a school north-west of Paris. Samuel Paty, who was a teacher in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, was beheaded days after showing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to some of his pupils.The murder has heightened tensions in France and the government's attempt to crack down on radical Islam has angered Turkey and other countries.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a boycott of French goods.The situation worsened after a cartoon on Mr Erdogan appeared in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

as you can see, it details some of the previous brutal murders carried out by people acting in the name of Islam

sorry for the Metro link, i can't find any coverage on the BBC site. including in the "context" section of today's report
i'm keeping this out of the main "terrorism in Europe" thread because i don't want to rerun some prior disagreements. i don't know what conclusions i can safely draw from these observations, but they worry me.

Asked for clarity on confusion, BBC said pride is fine if it is seen as a “a celebration”, but if the “trans issue" (as it was described) is involved then it passes as a protest and news and current affairs staff should not attend.— Benjamin Butterworth (@benjaminbutter) October 29, 2020

When Covid lockdowns put an end to his work as a wedding DJ, Jeremy Davis was free to launch himself into his other passion - trying to stop migrant boats heading from France to the shores of the UK.

She’s tagging them because they were all featured in a documentary she made (with Grace Dent?) on the topic. Obvs have not heard it but at least one of those accounts suggested it was fair to their cause, which seems like the bigger issue. It looks like she has made a couple of other docs on the same theme over the last two years for them.

Depending on what he has been suspended for, if they did kick him out, they might have to also kick out any member / MP supporting him or sharing a platform with him in the future, per the CST pledges that Starmer signed up to - though pledges obviously are flexible where he is concerned.
