This once sentence sums up the arrogant omnipotence within the corporation.

"The BBC's costs are within the scope of our legal insurance," added a corporation spokesman.
Like that legitimises criminality. The government will do nothing about this, but enough pressure from licence payers about the misuse of our money would get their attention.

Re: Bbc

Tony Hall (oops sorry, Lord Hall) resigns

Ex-BBC director general Lord Hall has resigned as National Gallery chairman amid the outcry after an inquiry into Panorama's Princess Diana interview.

Lord Hall, who was director of news when Martin Bashir used deception to get the 1995 scoop, said his continued presence would be a "distraction".

The inquiry described an internal probe led by Lord Hall in 1996 into what happened as "woefully ineffective".

Diana's brother Earl Spencer has asked the Met Police to investigate the BBC


That's jolly decent of him. We wouldn't want him spoiling an enquiry now would we.

"THE BBC is facing another major multi-million pound crisis with the possibility of its licence fee being frozen over the next five years or even cut in the wake of the scandal over Martin Bashir's bombshell interview with Princess Diana in 1995." says the lead sentence of this article in today's DE (other newspapers are carrying it too).

Frozen? It should cease and the BBC fund itself from advertising or from whoever wants to subscribe to it, which wouldn't be many.

“Obviously I regret it, it was wrong. But it had no bearing on anything. It had no bearing on [Diana], it had no bearing on the interview.”

“I did something wrong … but for pity’s sake, acknowledge something of the relationship we had and something of what she contributed through that interview.
No way, the relationship was based on deception, he was trusted by her. The interview and the claims he made was the reason she gave up the security.

Re: Bbc

I don't blame Earl Spencer for asking the police to get involved. If Bashir used falsified documents then this is indeed a criminal offence. If the BBC deliberately failed to report it, then it is complicit in the crime.
