00:00Are the BBC stars who are outside of any sort of...
00:02Can we... Let's name them. It's obviously Hugh Edwards.
00:06Hugh Edwards, Jimmy Savile, although they did an inquiry into Jimmy Savile before they've done this one.
00:11There was the chef as well.
00:13Yes, I don't think he's named in this particular report.
00:18I mean, basically the idea is that reports come out...
00:20Royal Faris, yeah.
00:21Similar report to the one that they did into Jimmy Savile.
00:24Well, they say that there are untouchables of the BBC, big stars who people will not bring into line,
00:32even though they know they're getting out of line.
00:35Yeah, and it's interesting because you think somebody appears like Hugh Edwards,
00:39the voice of the nation in the sense that he was the first voice telling the world Her Majesty the Queen had died.
00:45Now, there'd been a complaint by the family of a young man to the BBC.
00:49Nothing was done about it.
00:51No, I mean, the whole thing is it's another example of the appalling governance and management of the BBC.
01:00And Tim Davy, in my opinion...
01:02That's the Director-General.
01:03Yes, his position is untenable, not only because of this,

01:11they have a reporter who is someone they...
01:15is technically not employed by them, but they use him a lot.
01:18And he has been on social media putting out very, very anti-Semitic tweets or whatever you call it,
01:30and supporting Hamas overtly, yet they allow him to report on the Gaza war.
01:37Davey has been...
01:39This has been raised with Davey on numerous occasions, and the man is still broadcasting.
01:45He should be sacked immediately.
01:47Davey should resign in shame because, also, we've got case after case.
01:53There's Saville, Harris, Hugh Edwards, the most recent, or actually Greg Wallace,
01:58and they always run for cover and say, oh, well, it's an outside production company,
02:03we don't employ them, you're broadcasting them, he's on your airwaves,
02:08you are responsible, Mr Davey.
02:10And instead of all this wokery nonsense that the BBC insists on,
02:15including the ludicrous BBC Verify, checking their own journalist stories, supposedly,
02:21which they don't do anyway.
02:23I mean, Davey is probably the worst Director-General in modern...
