Description

Patrick Barwise is Emeritus Professor of Management and Marketing at London Business School, former chair of Which, the UK consumer organisation, and co-author of 'The War Against the BBC'.


We review the government's newly published green paper on the BBC—covering its governance, funding models, independence, commercial and political influences, public accountability, what's missing and participation in the consultation. And we discuss whether the BBC should settle with Trump.


“I would like to see the government literally saying, ‘We will fund that defence.’ I think that this is actually an opportunity for the government to demonstrate that we will not let our main public broadcaster be just sort of bullied in this kind of a way.”
