The Government, as I understand it anyway, have a fair few appointments they could make to the BBC Governors now and in the near future. While I'm sure they won't be as blatant as Bozo appointing Gibb, I think the discontent with Mason-ism goes a fair bit wider than Labour partisans, and we might see a few changes. Nandy is pretty low profile in this stuff, but the standards committee has already been reformed with a weakening of Gibb's power. I would be surprised if we don't see a few more changes to improve things.

It's also to do with them being relatively progressive and having found a path in the Budget that didn't cause "war" with backbenchers or send the markets crashing. They're still annoyed that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng did that, and not Starmer-Reeves.

Every fucking week for the past 20 years has had 'a focus on immigration.' Who can even be bothered to watch this shit?

Not me. Can't stand the programme, can't stand the presenter. She should fuck off and stick to dealing with nice middle-class people sniffing around to see how much their family heirloom is worth.

But they're ex-pats.

And towns are always sold on having a 'thriving British ex-pat community' because, y'know, fuck integration or anything like that.
