    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. BBC donors include Bill Gates, USAID, NORAD and the EU. UK state broadcaster BBC has a shameful history of lies and deception on behalf of the ruling elites, war industry etc., including faking a video to get UK public and MP support to invade Syria in 2013.

Yet their _own prime minister_ was so obviously living way above his means (£800k is £120k _more_ than his entire salary for four years! and as PM he basically claims ALL expenses) and was, and still is, so seriously financially compromised that he is a liability as well as huge security risk to the country.

    The rules are a MINIMUM not a goal, you should aim to hold yourself to a higher standard as a public figure and in a position of such power. In a time where integrity and transparency is in question across the government and public institutions, why not aim to be better and be as open and candid as you can be?
