BBC: huge scandal linked to Lady Diana puts the license fee at risk, while the former GM resigns
The scandal that is now shaking the BBC makes us understand the degree of corruption of a certain journalism, even mainstream, and risk having very heavy repercussions on public TV across the Channel.
Today he resigned as director of the National Gallery, Lord Tony Hall, who had held the position of director of the BBC in the 1990s. He did so apologizing because, in 1995, he approved the work of the journalist Martin Bashir, who created false documents, including banking documents, to persuade the princess to grant the interview which was later very followed, with 23 million viewers. On that occasion, the princess talked extensively about her first expectations on marriage to Prince Charles and how you discover her relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Now Diana's brother, Lord Spencer has revealed the scandal that is shaking public TV, but the scandal risks not only leading to the resignation of Lord Hall, but having repercussions, even more profound economic ones. The government is just now discussing the renewal of the television concession to the BBC and controversy had already erupted over the request for a rent increase. Now this scandal could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. The rent is currently £ 159 and could either be frozen for the next 5 years or even reduced.
If in Italy we reduced the fee for each service badly packaged by Rai, this would now be zero. If we then deducted the profits of private TVs for each case of disinformation, they would have already gone bankrupt. Now the BBC is in danger of making a quick weight loss cure, including a complete change of its board of directors. You can't joke too much with the royal family in the UK.
