‘Whatever happens now Tim Davie has effectively given carte blanche to any BBC person outside news and current affairs to say what they like.’
Agree with the majority of response to Bucks above, but I’d add that the quote above should be looked at. I’d say ‘so what?’, if it wasn’t the case it simply isn’t true that Davie has given carte blanche (guidelines review?) and it is unlikely to spark a flurry of similar social media output from BBC employees or freelancers (I’d suspect the opposite is true until the review has taken place and new guidelines issued).
Can’t not comment on yet another ‘people I know high up’ example of evidence – just a crass anecdote to bluff the casual viewer -regardless of it being true or not – something that we’ll never know or be able to disprove, and which discredits your argument Bucks.
