Final post

Chairmanship of OfCom and the BBC Board

I don't know much about Charles Moore, but if he genuinely does 'hate' the BBC, and it wasn't mainly bluster when working for a rival, then obviously he'll be a terrible choice as a large part of the job is defending the BBC.

However there does tend to be a thing whereby people go into a role like that not really understanding what an organisation does and wanting to reform. But once they get the job and get first hand knowledge of what it's actually like, what goes on and what it's trying to achieve, it can change their minds.

But as said above, the job process hasn't even started yet, one would hope that anyone who really wasn't suitable would be weeded out through that. You'd hope

They asked Andrew Neil about this on GMB and he said exactly that. That Moore would either "go native" or completely fail and be out of the job quick. He also felt that the whole thing was a typical Johnson "joke". The kind of thing he'd suggest in a meeting at the spectator and him and morgan agreed that the PM was out of his depth.

I think those people who think Neil's new channel is going to be a British Fox news are in for a suprise.
