DR WHO FAILS TO MAKE THE GRADE
#DrWho is being dropped by the hard-up BBC for the first time in22 years. BBC1 controller #MichaelGrade has ordered the series, which stars #ColinBaker, to be suspended for at least 18 months . . .
Good old Ofcom whose Chairman is Tory Lord #MichaelGrade and whose Chief Executive is #MelanieDawes (handpicked by David Cameron after he changed the selection process.)
Seems to have a curious Tory bias where the usual roles don't apply if it's pumping out right-wing bias.
Corruption.

Starmer and senior ministers have warned tech companies that they must uphold the law on their platforms and combat material that incites people to racial hatred. Ofcom, the media regulator, published an open letter to social media firms this week saying they should not wait until it gets enhanced powers under the Online Safety Act before taking action.
Why? Well the political views of its chairman, Michael Grade, appointed by the Conservatives, might offer a clue. Watching the far-right instigator Laurence Fox on the BBC's Question Time, Grade said he cheered: "I thought, at last - a voice for those of us who are so sick of the intolerance ... the woke brigade." Fox has done as much as anyone else to inflame the recent riots, suggesting on X that Muslims are "invaders. Islam needs to be removed from Britain. Completely and entirely. We are a Christian nation." Grade, whose term as head of Ofcom runs until 2026, will have the job of regulating posts like this. The chickens are in charge of the Foxhouse.
Yeah, about that OFCOM.....
