The BBC has become innaccceptably bias in its coverage and relentlessly pushes its left wing ‘woke’ agenda. The Government must bring back impartiality with the appointment of the highly distinguished former editor of the Daily Telegraph on a platform of abolishing the licence fee, by appointing Charles Moore as Chairman, when the current Chairman of the BBC’s three year term finishes in February 2021.
