There is a difference between BBC News and BBC Entertainment.
BBC News is a political project captured by the right, and needs to be rid of that cancer.
Ditto - ALL News platforms need to be clear whether they are NEWS or ENTERTAINMENT and be kept to strict, enforceable rules!!!

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Prescott claimed the BBC was biased TOWARDS trans people based on hearsay from a couple of ‘gender critical’ transphobes, while IGNORING the EVIDENCE! 😖

Locking phones up in school - the time when children are already LEAST likely to be on them - will do NOTHING to stop bullying, poor mental health, isolation, or radicalisation!
It will also have ZERO impact on the rabid transphobia that’s perpetuated through the mainstream media & politics! 😖

So the Telegraph’s “BBC bias dossier” - supposedly written by ex-BBC adviser Michael Prescott - is being used to claim there’s a rogue LGBT+ unit “censoring” gender-critical voices inside the BBC.
Let’s look at what’s actually in it. Spoiler: it’s nothing but recycled transphobic talking points!

So Tim Davie has resigned from the BBC over a failure to be impartial in relation to Trump.
Once.
The BBC has failed to be impartial about trans people since Davie's tenure started.
Systematically and regularly.
So why did he not resign over these?

Not a single reference made by Prescott about pro-trans “bias” was substantiated.
Prescott did the same thing the BBC does in reporting on trans topics:
- ask a handful of transphobic ‘gender critical’ ideologues for their opinions
- ignore evidence
- publish their bigotry verbatim as “facts” 😖

Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Starmer does not want to be held responsible for any decisions - so he ducks making any decisions.
Instead of leading, he maintains the status quo, or lets decisions be made by the courts/ advisory bodies, so he can point elsewhere and say it was “their fault” come election time! 😣

Its decision to leave the Tory appointees in post at the BBC is one of so many Labour have made that I can't begin to understand. Any guesses?

The entire section on “Biological sex and gender” is anecdote, hearsay and ideology.
Prescott claims three unnamed BBC staff told him that the LGBTQ desk is “captured by Stonewall.” No names, no dates, no emails, no data, no proof. Just gossip presented as evidence.
