I get the point about political independence, but if an organisation can levy a tax (which the TV licence is) or be funded from taxes then IMO they also need democratic accountability.

The corporation’s chair saying there was no rightwing coup while simultaneously the corporation proposes ending political appointments is a contradiction no?
You can’t both “ridicule claims of interference” and “propose structural reforms specifically because of interference.” Lol. Unless I’m just half asleep

Just cut their funding and force them to close. Sure a bunch of bellends, dickhead and twats will lose their job but when a corporation who hides nonces, mininforms, manufactures anger in order to generate clicks, you are a festering wound of pus and bile

I mean…if it helps keep their political independence, it seems like a good thing.

Yeah the BBC being stuffed with tory plants is a pretty overt attempt to influence its reporting. Worse still that they were pushing out the existing staff.
If the BBC is going to have any meaningful credibility, it can’t be held to ransom by the government.
