3/ It would be interesting to know exactly what role BBC Board member Robbie Gibb played in this affair.
Whoever leaked Michael Prescott's inflammatory & ideologically loaded memo must have known what damage it would do to the BBC.

The thing that frightens me most is that more and more US regime commentators are talking about the UK as if we need ‘rescuing’. I do not want us to suffer what happens to a country when the US ‘rescues’ it.

Robbie Gibb cancelled an investigation into Farage's Leave dot EU campaign shortly before the EU Ref
Arron Banks thanked him for it

"Funnily enough Andy [Wigmore], the only time I ever experienced political interference in one of my investigations at the BBC, was when I was investigating you and Arron Banks
Your mate Robbie Gibb put a stop to a story we were running."
