First off, a journalist/news channel doesn't/shouldn't only hear from voices that affirm biases, especially state funded ones - in this case, it's healthy for the BBC to hear opposing views taken by their editorial staff.
Secondly, de-platforming shouldn't be there normal. Your phrasing is indicative of a trend towards decimation of speech in western civilization. Your labels of "extreme right" are unsubstantiated and expectations of default deplatforming of anything right of "far left", dangerous to discourse.
For the unfamiliar, here [1] is a recent example of the alleged "platforming" done by BBC QT as alleged by the op. These days, it's gotten all too common to label opposing opinions with extremely inaccurate strawman-able distasteful labels, just to censor them.
