Yes, the extremely pompous guy that “doesn’t want to appear pompous”. It doesn’t look like he has our best interests at heart and I would suggest the BBC has been deeply penetrated by folk just like him - who have been elevated to BBC positions to undermine our guardrails.

Like his besty Trump, he is an enemy of the UK and the western alliances. And again like Trump, he will do ANYTHING for money.
He severely damaged the UK with his Brexit propaganda (that was pushed by the right wing media outlets) that led to us leaving the EU.
Putin rejoiced when we left.
