Disgrace!
Strictly reputational yet so unrepresentational: as any ordinary person from any ordinary background knows to get a job in the BBC you have to mask, deracinate be an imposter: because the programmes aren’t about the knowledge, culture, history and stories you bring from every background even though you’re paying for it: it’s about elite and populist themes and streams managed by an hereditary caste who still think of us as their civilians. We need to show them that the show is all our show that it can heal, restore, rehabilitate all the wrong that lies behind the PR, the reputation management, people always running, fugitive, migrant: we need to lead for peace and representation.
Reconciliation.
The BBC could be the leader but it’s cobbled by its own romance about itself: unhealthy until it reinvents and repurposes the same social and cultural types and typos in the same seats: Claudia or Tess, Claudia and Tess, Tim Davie and Deborah Turness, Tim Davie or Deborah Turness and Robbie Gibb? On the BBC board and founder member of GB News, Robbie Gibb on the BBC Board…
BBC bias in Michael Prescott’s report commissioned by Robbie Gibb for the BBC board of governors or bias in Robbie Gibb’s commissioning of his friend Michael Prescott to report on
bias in the BBC...Whose BBC is it anyway? Is it funded by our money? Is it a public service broadcaster? If it is what does that mean to us when we think about Our BBC? Have we got so used to spectating Their BBC and Their War with GB News and The American Owned British Media that Our BBC plays with and to that has nothing to do with the culture and cultures in Britain: why is there such a need for localisation and proportionate scale so that people can think work and develop in our own institutions?
Was Britain was Always Their Fiction, anyway?
If we apply governance and general public oversight to the resignation of Tim Davie and the events that seemed to have led up to it should BBC executives (Robbie Gibb) use their position to set up companies in direct competition with the BBC eg: GB News while working in the BBC and when they successfully contribute to the creation of a company in direct ideological opposition and competition with the ethos and ethics of a public service broadcaster hasn’t been questioned by the general public who through taxation and licence fees who pay for it.
We need to reinvent the BBC as an organisation that grows people, stories, programmes and the future of great work in the 21st century to do this: it needs to be the catalyst for everything we and good people across the planet aspire to.
