The BBC’s Attempts to Appease the 'Right-Wing Coup' Against It Are Now Seeding Its Own Destruction By attempting to appease those forces seeking to destroy them, the BBC has helped trigger a crisis that now threatens its very future, argues Adam Bienkov

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was β€œkilling off the BBC”.

Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

Cofiwch Aberfan / Remember Aberfan 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Today marks 59 years since the Aberfan disaster.

At 9:15am on 21 October 1966, a coal spoil tip collapsed onto the Welsh village of Aberfan, tragically killing 116 children and 28 adults.

One of the darkest days in Wales’ history β€” never forgotten.

it’s a British 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week.

A bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined.

Millions listen, having no need for the information it gives. Just to listen.

The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.
