Fine article which will pay rereading.

BBC news coverage has detiorated: Victoria Derbyshire retailing gossip about Huw Edwards the other night was truly disgraceful. And now we have Farage, that well known defender of free speech, contriving to turn his spat with Coutts into an attack on the for having reported what Coutts told them about their reason for closing his account.

The lesson is that however deep you crawl in the muck the forces of the right will never be satisfied.

Great article Matt. People like yourself are an inspiration to me, although I appreciate that saying this might be detrimental to your reputation. I was at one point in favour of defunding the BBC, but your essay persuaded me otherwise. BBC news has become the worst of the worst and I no longer trust its coverage. Much as it pains me to say this, it is has become the sockpuppet of the most right-wing government in British history.
