    The BBC isn’t all that wonderful. They used to exercise a great degree of independence, but since Thatcher, their autonomy has steadily been eroded, and their senior management consists of toadies, mainly aligned with the previous Conservative government. They’re afraid to offend and won’t address some issues (strong UK citizen support for Palestine, where Farage gets his money, links between MAGA and current Tory leadership, etc). They Aalways sanewash Trump. The Tories, during the 14 years in power, did everything they could to weaken the BBC and make it more suitable for privatisation.
