They rely on people not requiring them to prove what they say So they can technically deny anything without fear of scrutiny even though their obvious lie is obvious. These people would rather argue in defence of the existence of unicorns and pixie's before telling the truth.
It is blatantly obvious he has absolutely no integrity whatsoever and accordingly takes no self-responsabilty for his scheming, self-serving, underhanded and what should be "illegal" behaviour. He should be removed from his post immediately and fined substantially.
This story has more holes than a pair of fishnet tights. Why would Johnson's cousin need an intermediary? If he is close enough to call him Al, and to be a guest at Chequers, he doesn't need a go between.
Just think if this was Labour, Lib Dem or any other centre/centre right party who had just done one of these dodgy things if they were in power. We’d still be discussing it today after 13 years and the Tories would still be blaming the woes of this country on that specific incident of corruption. What crazy times we live in.
Given his experience in governance roles, you’d have expected him to be a bit more curious about the implications of what he alleges Case told him. Instead he “assumes” that, because Case said don’t have any further involvement, it absolves him from being transparent about his involvement up to that point. I note he’s at pains to emphasise how proactive he was in consulting Case in the first instance. I’m sceptical that he did not then proactively clarify with Case whether and when he should have disclosed his involvement up to that point. He was clearly involved as a facilitator, despite his attempts to control the narrative with his narrow definition of financial advice, at a time when he was applying for the BBC position. Neither he nor Johnson or, indeed, Blyth appear to have been remotely curious about potential conflict of interest. How hard is it to ask if someone has anything in the pipeline in terms of public appointments (Sharp and Blyth - Johnson knew that Sharp was in the running for the BBC job). An honest person with their experience of business and politics would have asked whether there was anything pertaining which would compromise their plans; yet all three have claimed to be ignorant of these matters. If they really are that stupid they don’t deserve to be in office. They’re like schoolboys caught with their grubby hands in the biscuit barrel. Insulting everyone’s intelligence.
So, in summary: Sharp enabled cash from Johnson's relative - Blyth- via the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretary is a civil servant, not a fixer for the PM. Blyth is a chum of Sharp's; just because they are (the usual thing: old school tie; wealthy; looking out for their chums). Blyth is shady "businesman" based offshore. Why would Blyth want to give money to Johnson, someone he didn't know? Why didn't Blyth just call Johnson? And let's not forget that Sharp is a Tory party donor. Charles Moore, who conveniently stood aside for Sharp, was Johnson's boss at The Telegraph. Sharp says that he didn't give financial advice to Johnson, yet the Cabinet Secretary told Johnson not to take "further" advice from Sharp. Johnson and Sharp are cut from the same cloth: entitled, corrupt liars. Sharp happy to arrange cash for Johnson in exchange for the top job at the BBC. Johnson happy to take cash from a shady businessman for for some favour to be called in later (a peerage/special tax treatment?). The Cabinet Secretary enabling corruption. God help the UK.
Don't have any fate, but I reckon God is terribly disappointed that believers keep asking for help without making a conscious effort, try to march for days and stop this endless corruption among these careers politicians, make donations totally illegal, no off shore accounts, no non dom or any other tax evasion and avoidance, and above all dark money from think tanks or warmonger arms manufacturer, etc, etc! That automatically deters any corrupt Oxford graduate thinkers and their owners/handlers/donors from even getting anywhere close to Westminister!
Friends with a Johnson family member. Friendly with Johnson. Donated to the Conservative party. Helped Boris Johnson get some money indirectly/directly- Told Johnson about the help available. Didn’t tell the committee when being interviewed. BBC chairman can’t remain if your friendly with any political party
It started to go off the rails when Lord Bell forced Common Purpose upon them, abandoning the Broad House concept necessary in the Fourth Estate. I saw it while posting on Robert Peston's blog in 2008-9, explaining the inner workings of the crash, building a following which felt committed to action. I put them in contact with my old friend Paul Judge, who was in a similar position to Rory Stewart's, frustrated by political ambition of the incompetent excluding the experienced. They became the Jury Team, which still exists, despite Paul's demise. Ever since then, the DG has been biased, and this is completely incompatible with an Organisation receiving most of it's funding from a functionally compulsory public levy (the so-called Licence), as it also infringes rules on State Aid. It should fairly respect the full range of public opinion, neutrally. Of course, this has now come off the rails.
The select committee should also be accountable for helping appoint someone with no BBC, or journalistic experience to the position of head of the BBC.
i submitted my application to my two best mates who just happen to be in charge of giving the job, and it was my skill in journalism that got me the job..........oh wait !
only 5 mins in and this guy is totally lying apart from he said during lockdown he went to work at no 11 and made comments with them at an after dinner event???? thought we were in lockdown, yet another party??
So the PM was having financial difficulties and a "cousin" was interested in helping him out? Why did the cousin not approach the PM directly? I would think the familial link was only used to act as a shield to prevent it having to be disclosed. How close a cousin was he?
At least Sharp has exposed uet another of Johnsons lies. Johnson said Sharp has never had any knowledge of his financial affairs, Sharp confirming that was a blatant lie.
The integrity of the public appointments process has been damaged by BBC Chairman, Richard Sharp's self serving lack of candour during his own appointment regarding his role as a 'loan broker' for Boris Johnson. He should resign.
Bbc web devs pay is crap. I imagine most people would work for the bbc is for good cv purposes.. i think its bs that they lose people due to salary expectations..

Everyone should watch this. It is simply unbelievable. Boris doesn't care and this man is not telling the truth
Anyone having any connection to Boris Johnson should be cancelled/ rejected from any public occupation. That is a Judas Goat
They rely on people not requiring them to prove what they say
So they can technically deny anything without fear of scrutiny even though their obvious lie is obvious. These people would rather argue in defence of the existence of unicorns and pixie's before telling the truth.
Jesus. Don't see him surviving after this mauling.
Can’t watch this guy without feeling like I’m covered in slime

ABSOLUTE CROOK I WONDER IF BORIS GAVE HIM ANY COMMISSION FOR HIS HELP
ALL ROUND SLIPPERY LIAR
Pay the license fee and be part of the corruption.😊
Pay your taxes and be part of the much bigger corruption
His smug countenance says it all really
This story has more holes than a pair of fishnet tights. Why would Johnson's cousin need an intermediary? If he is close enough to call him Al, and to be a guest at Chequers, he doesn't need a go between.
They know very well that there is nothing to prevent their corruption or will be done about it.
And we wonder why important news doesn't air on the BBC. So.. do we still think the TV license is appropriate?
Just think if this was Labour, Lib Dem or any other centre/centre right party who had just done one of these dodgy things if they were in power. We’d still be discussing it today after 13 years and the Tories would still be blaming the woes of this country on that specific incident of corruption. What crazy times we live in.

oh good, I didn't know Yes minister was airing an omnibus this afternoon.
most underrated comment
Wow...the longest part was when ALL 'Honorable' MPs stated what dealings and freebies they ALL had/got from the BBC!!!
These time lines shouldn’t be “hard to recall”!
lies are harder to recall than truth
To divert attention away from this shambles Sharp decided to pick on Linnekar
out of 9 on the bench 7 of them have had back handers off the bbc what a fair and independent panel
How about a story on the 9millionimmigrants?
A story on the e.utakingkiev?
Why did 'Mr Blyth' want to lend the sitting PM of GB 800 large?
So, in summary: Sharp enabled cash from Johnson's relative - Blyth- via the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretary is a civil servant, not a fixer for the PM.

Blyth is Johnson's cousin, he calls him Al, Sharp is Blyth's mate. Who is doing favours for who here?
@@mofmoffet6154 Sharp helping johnson who asked Blythe to ask Sharp to do him a favour, quid for quo! Am I right?
Controversy and suspicion seem to follow Boris round like a bad smell so that's Sharps career blighted from here on in.
Sharp by name, nature, and practice.
The fact he went to see Case actually casts a shadow over him; looks like was looking for an "all clear"
I think everyone is being really horrible! I mean, he bought that job fair and square. All sales are final, no backsies
lol
He sounds as plausible as a Jacob Rees-Mogg Brexit ‘benefit’.
Why has he not been removed??!!
Should save time on these inquirys and change them to tribunerals.
Friends with a Johnson family member. Friendly with Johnson. Donated to the Conservative party.
Helped Boris Johnson get some money indirectly/directly-
Told Johnson about the help available.
Didn’t tell the committee when being interviewed.
BBC chairman can’t remain if your friendly with any political party
Unnecessary
He has been falsely accused by someone?
Get that seat steam cleaned....
I wanted to ensure due process 🙄
😕

No notes no diary just his ‘word’. His relationship with “Al” slowly turning into smoke in the wind
The jealous haters of Boris still not satisfied he is no longer the PM, time for these nobodies to move on.
All those posh water bottles provided by the tax payers 🤢
Sharp by name, sharp by practice
Sharp elbows it seems
BBC should be shut down and privatized, and not get any funding of TV LICENCE.
The select committee should also be accountable for helping appoint someone with no BBC, or journalistic experience to the position of head of the BBC.
i submitted my application to my two best mates who just happen to be in charge of giving the job, and it was my skill in journalism that got me the job..........oh wait !
This is why lineker is still with the bbc!!!! This Pratt who brought his job from Johnson!!!! He needs to resign!!!
Made a significant contribution to bbc.. so why stick around? Job must be a good un
He needs to go asap. His behaviour with Boris was totally inappropriate and tainted.
only 5 mins in and this guy is totally lying apart from he said during lockdown he went to work at no 11 and made comments with them at an after dinner event???? thought we were in lockdown, yet another party??
Obvious weakness here. Resign sir.
Such an embarrassment to the UK as a BBC joke of a chair. Emily Mathis was right
This is putting the old boys network into the highest gear.
So the PM was having financial difficulties and a "cousin" was interested in helping him out? Why did the cousin not approach the PM directly? I would think the familial link was only used to act as a shield to prevent it having to be disclosed. How close a cousin was he?
So most of them worked at one time for the BBC ?
Couldn't they find anyone with no link ?
Every. Single. Time.
At least Sharp has exposed uet another of Johnsons lies. Johnson said Sharp has never had any knowledge of his financial affairs, Sharp confirming that was a blatant lie.
Corruption....

this guy is the chairman of the BBC, that explains a lot....
i dont know jimmy Savel and now this the BBC are a total disgrace

Bbc web devs pay is crap. I imagine most people would work for the bbc is for good cv purposes.. i think its bs that they lose people due to salary expectations..
shows how society in the UK works
Johnson is a Judas Goat
If he can survive taking the eagle and tallavera then he can survive this.
Lies.....
Love John Nicholson. Holds folk yo account very well.
Did Boris pay the money back? Annnnd....um ahhh, and, did he do with public finances?
I love these select committees
Richard Sharp, my hasidic homeboy - everything's owned by the nose
Your antisemitism doesn't help anything.
