The one clear thing the public can take away from this 10,000th Tory scandal is that Mr. Boris Johnson, then Prime Minister, was _financially compromised,_ was clearly living well above his means, and could be relatively easily influenced for relatively small sums of money (small when one takes into account his circle of contacts, Russian, Saudi, Iranian, Indian, etc.).

Im not sure you understand what BBC means. "British" is the term used for things controlled by Westminster, it's in the party of powers interest to appoint someone on their side, because the BBC is the propaganda arm of the British state and what that is, is determined by the government of the day. in short, the question is asked in the interview process, if the answer is yes, it's far more likely you'll get the job, because you're on side with the narrative they want to push.

The state broadcaster should be funded by the state. This would end the big-lie the BBC is unbiased and impartial. It's obviously impossible for any state broadcaster to be unbiased and impartial.

While acting as PM, Johnson has loaded numerous parliamentary committees and quangos with Conservative Party supporters and more specifically, with personal supporters, to the detriment of probity in public life. He has a very loose relationship with the truth which has led to a rise in distrust in politics in general by the electorate.

Either it is the case that the BBC is politically impartial or it is not.

@@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347 that’s very dodgy looks like big brother is monitoring
Sharp is unfit for his office as chairman of the BBC due to his links with BoJo
Remember, its not considered corruptiuon if it happens in Britain!
Boris Johnson: "you help me out with the LOAN & I will help you out to become the new BBC chairman" deal done my friend??
Sharp: yes deal done!!
Now trying to defend himself
Yeah right!!
Wow, I was absolutely prepared to believe that there was no real case to answer here (right place wrong time etc). Having heard this weasel, he's completely bang to rights corrupt... questioner was brilliant and I was naïve.
It’s the accent, that just screams entitlement. I’m gonna have to get me one of those, I’ll be able to rob a fortune
boris struggled to live on 160k a year fuck me imagine if he got payed NMW....
He described just 250k as a journalist as... chicken feed.
Free rent on two properties, all travel expenses paid , someone paid to redecorate and another mug paid £27k for takeaways. Just how many illegitimate children does he have ?
@chris silver he currently living in one of lady JCB ,houses , as he did not have one to go to after leaving no 10 downing Street
With him at the helm, it's no wonder that I and many others don't bother to watch the biased BBC anymore!
No one watches the crap on BBC anymore. So why are we still paying for a tv licences?
And all the while this country falls to pieces at the seams. And people still think these lot are here for our benefit
"Do you want some cash cuz?" Lol, brilliant John 😍
why couldn't he ask, "you want some cash cuz" LOL
My god , what a LIAR LIAR LIAR .
Torn to shreds but I doubt anything will happen, sadly.
And they wonder why nobody pays the license fee😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Problem is tens of millions still do
LIARS LYING FOR LIARS when the hell is this going to be stopped!!!!!!!!!.
Imagine applying for a job for the other applicants to be told not to waste their time applying. That is shocking favouritism. Tory corruption brought to light. This is important.
Thanks for posting. I was not aware of this.
The government should pay ambulance driver and nurses more than there asking for .remember it is the workers that make money for the government not MPs .
MPs are the ones spending the money quicker than it comes in .so if anything comes out of this lower wages for MPs and much higher wages for the actual people that do the work .time to do a study on what MPs are worth .
We are literally all just weasels, squirming around whilst these bastards take everything.
Wink, wink. It's all fine. We've got to go through the motions.
Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle. "It wasn't me. I was somewhere else. I didn't know. The dog ate my homework."
17:50 He'd been waiting to use those notes.......... It was the most animated he'd been in the whole interview.........
I noticed that as well.
He knows he is in the sh1t, so he had his excuses ready prepared.
Brilliant questioning. If only BBC journos did this.. I wonder why they don't???
Let's not dance on a pin.
Nice.
Remember when individuals would resign over matters of impropriety such as this obvious example.
While all these meetings and dinners was happening was we locked down . The whole thing STINKS .
Rank rotten to the core,How long will our Government keep getting away with this BS.
Corruption, pure and simple!
They all need to go prison. If these things are happening by those we entrust to lead our country, what else have they done ?
Prison is too kind for the decades and centuries of Turgid Tories! Thieves, perverts, liars. 200.000 deaths from Covid 19 should be court cases for manslaughter/murder! whilst prioritising THEIR OFFSHORE ACTIVITIES, 5 missed Cobra Meetings, ignoring the science, ignoring lock down, late with vaccines, borders kept open. Jacinda Ardhern stepped down, New Zealand had over 20 cases ,and did not prioritise other distractions! Centuries to clean up!??Westminster!!
@@robertgalloway3771 You see how Mr shit sack started shifting cabinet ministers.
So this is another Master of Universe from Goldman Sax - he's far from impressive.
Can't decide if it is fish or BS I'm smelling...
« Due process »…..where have I come across that smokescreen before?!
Oh dear….another example of Boris being Boris…..
A financial meeting when the AMOUNT OF MONEY!!! isnt mentioned.......YEA RIGHT!!!
If he stays in the BBC everyone should stop paying tv licence because they cannot take 74 million people to court
Watching rich, entitled men whinge at each other about their dodgy dealings is sickening.
Even if he didn’t do anything wrong this time, he will have definitely been involved in other sketchy activities at some time.
He’s a Tory donor ffs.
This is the BBC Chair who had a private dinner with Boris Johnson's cousin at which Johnson's finances were discussed (even though Johnson says it's ding dang not true), was Johnson's advisor when BJ was London Mayor (and didn't that go well...), was Rishi Sunak's boss at Goldman Sachs, was Sunak's advisor when Sunak was Chancellor (and didn't that go well...), and has given £400,000 to the Conservative Party. The foul stench from all of these awful awful people is overwhelmingly disgusting. If only readers of the Mail Telegraph Times Sun Express were aware of just how deep and far the tentacles of back-scratching corruption extend.
Either it is the case that the BBC is politically impartial or it is not.
If it is to be SEEN TO BE impartial those it employes/appoints, in ANY position, should at the very least, NOT
. have made donations to ANY political party or individual member of a political party
. be related to anyone in or working for a political party
. have worked with or for a political party
If these three criteria are not strictly adhered to then the BBC MUST publicly relinquish its status of impartiality & declare its bias
In the telly version of this, the ideal casting would have been John Bird (Sharp) and John Fortune (Nicholson).
Its amazing what can achieve through giving money.
