    They’ve been at this for years now tbh. Thousands protested Austerity outside the Tory Conference, and not a peep about it on the Beeb. At least they barely even hide the partisan support for the government now.

      They also did it with anti lockdown protests. You might disagree with the protestors in that case, but the Beeb shouldn’t be deciding what it covers based on whether the issue.

      I don’t think they’re “supporting” the government - I think they’re cowed by the government.

      The net result is the same, agreed. I’m mostly talking about motivations.

      The tories would gut the BBC like the opening scene of Dune (the film), each employee drained for sacrificial blood and the party faithful smeared in it as rite of indoctrination.

        That’s nowhere near the opening scene.

        Are you talking about the Sardaukar on Salusa Secondus?
