Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

Accents have to be ones that Southerners understand.

'Room' should preferably be pronounced 'rum' and 'castle as 'caarsle'. With 'glass' as 'glaarse'.

Rab C. Nesbitt will not be reading the news any time soon.

I doubt this. Admittedly it's over three decades ago, but I did a short piece for BBC schools radio on a bit of my specialist knowledge and they said they wanted regional accents.

When did you actually hear "received pronunciation" on the BBC? Rees-Mogg is the only one trying it, and it's obviously an affectation.
 
It could be perceived as so listening to the morning briefs. LK nailing her colours to the mast, attacking Labour when the brief was about protecting women.

Was good to see somebody call BBC out which, of course, was quickly move on by LK.

The left believe the BBC has a right wing bias. The right believe it has a left wing bias. Assuming that the truth lies somewhere between, it suggests to me that the BBC have it just about right.

I do agree with that and they have retained their impartiality more than people think but the conservatives treatment of it over the last decade has been scandalous.

Beat me too it.

Was about to post about this. She couldn't wait to move the debate on when called out for what she is.
 
Spare a thought for Laura - she lost her Bozo and now has a contacts book that ain't worth shit - she is one GE away from being a dried up husk. Labour just need to cut her off when they are elected and the fact she is just a Tory mouthpiece will be evident for all to see when she has nothing to say that is relevant to the governance of this country
