In a world of lies, we need the BBC more than ever, the headline to Polly Toynbee’s article says. It continues: ‘This week could be our last chance to save it,’ which makes for a very long headline, if a very good point.
My favourite quote is this:
The right’s peculiar patriotism seeks to demolish British achievements the country is most proud of: our public broadcasting and our NHS.
The truth is, those kind of people are loyal only to the country of commerce, of corporations, of capital.
The government’s questionnaire on the BBC’s future is here. We should all respond.
