There's no point in ever compromising with fascists. Because they'll never stick to their word and will always want more. They'll never be happy until they destroy democracy completely and pocket the winnings. The gatekeepers put in place to protect us from fascism are finding that out the hard way.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
