The first step to understanding impartiality is always recognising that you - like everyone - are not impartial. Acknowledging bias and subjectivity is the key.

Like the hardest kid at school, this is their only actual power. They’re not the strongest. They not the smartest. They don’t have the most supporters. They’re just willing to punch in the face, gouge eyes, break limbs, stamp on heads without hesitation and the fear that creates is the power.

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.
