That's not a great article. He doesn't even realise that Rod Liddle is a Social Democrat and was previously in the Labour Party, and Piers Morgan was editor for the Daily Mirror and very much not of the right.
However, my point wasn't that there is a sharing of employees between the Guardian and the BBC, more that they both reflect the same bien pensant North London left wing orthodoxy - Brexit bad, immigration good, climate change an apocalypse etc etc.
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y agoAnd are you going to address who they do share employees with? It's a party that's not left-wing. That's factual. The rest "not a great article", "North London left wing orthodoxy", and "BBC is insufficiently pro-Brexit" is vague, feelings-based not fact-based.
- gadders 4y agoThe BBC also had Gavyn Davies as a chairman.

I'm sorry, I don't see the relevance of this historical anecdote to what's currently true?
