How attitudes change. Compare modern times when the mere mention of his name has woke warriors reaching for the smelling salts. To more normal times when Powell was a household name and a regular on panel shows like QT. Where the BBC gave him a platform to air his views.
No hatchet job from the BBC for Enoch. Which is as well, because he’d have run rings around them.
Enoch smelt blood when heath was wounded, and went all racisty to appeal to some tories. They kicked him out. Thatcher left door open to attract his supporters and became leader.

Question time was far better back then with people allowed to debate, and there were plenty of great debators taking part.
Tories have stopped debate by planting crazy host who can't stop interrupting and will be forever famous for arguing that Johnson only punched his wife once when he broke her nose.

Powell’s pursuit of dogmatic logic led him into blind corners – in 1970 he argued that West Indians and Asians could not be English, saying “The West Indian or Asian does not, by being born in England, become an Englishman.” This is even more of a race barrier than Norman Tebbit’s cricket text of Englishness. It’s explicitly about whiteness and undoubtedly a racist argument.

Question time was one of the highlites of the week case They were allowed to get on with it, with locals in the crowd, first come first served, no plants unless you were quick, then you needed to be selected.
Now they are planted 3 or 4 times a series and always selected. Constant interruptions by antiques roadshow, and it's unwatchable.

Mind you he ain't doing too bad here, he got Hitler and racist in the same sentence there.
Someone once said that Austria's greatest achievement was to pass Hitler off as German. I suspect that edy would agree.

When did the BBC start to change? They finished Nick Griffin and the BNP when they set him up on QT.
I wonder how many regret not having the BNP as a credible alternative at the next general election, given the astronomical immigration figures and the changing face of Britain.
The BNP were always too left-wing for proper |Tories, and most of their supporters were working class people from the sharp end. I bet they’d vote for them now if the media would allow it.

The BBC did a similar job on George Galloway. They packed the audience with Jewish people, knowing how Galloway panders to Muslims and they gave him a hard time as well.

The BBC says that it is “committed” to achieving due impartiality in all its output, describing it as “fundamental to our reputation, our values and the trust of audiences”.
Clearly a lie but I don't think GB news pretends to be impartial, nor can they force us to pay for it.

Mugs!

They argue they are not a news outlet dispite having news in their name.
They were pulled up over impartiality rules last week.
With an election approaching they will be subject to more scrutiny over impartially.

The BBC haven't picked the audiences for shows like QT for over 20 years.
How can someone come on here day after day and preach how biased the BBC are without knowing that!!!

Of course nor can the BBC a clear fact completely ignored.
The BBC is unpopular with left wing extremists.
The SNP hate the BBC because the establishment English approach to Scotland’s freedom.
And of course racist right wing tosssspot nutjob idiots also hate the BBC because it does not spread right wing extremist perv Wooten propaganda like the appalling U.K. news.
But the BBC and the licence fee is entirely democratic. It is clearly within a Government’s power to abolish it.
Trouble is for the extremist nutters on both sides. The BBC is tremendously popular with the electorate. When Johnson had a go at it, a quick survey led to him pulling back double quick. Something he is unused to doing, given the number of his bastards there are in the country.

The thing that narks me about the BBC nowadays is it is full of crap and repeats of crap. I can't remember the last time I watched a high quality drama on the BBC.
As for public service broadcasting that is almost non-existent.
Netflix & Prime are my go to channels these days.
