Defend the BBC

I think that now is the time for all good men to come to the defence of the BBC.

We need to see the legal advice given to the BBC in respect of any action which could or could not be taken against Mr Ross. He has a contract with the BBC and if it was breached then there is the ability to dismiss anybody who is in breach of contract to be dismissed, without compensation.

We know that General Sir Mike Jackson took legal advice before the war aginst Iraq, it is in his book. We know that Tony Blair and the Cabinet, which included Gordon Brown, to receive legal advice before the war against Iraq. We need to see the legal advice given to the BBC in respect of Mr Ross, or was there none sought and none given.

This is about Andrew Gilligan, Dr David Kelly and the freedom of the BBC. This is also about MPs expenses, about people meeting with Russian oligarchs, with what we are being told about the financial crisis, and why did nobody say very much about Robert Maxwell when he was stealing from the pensioners.
