You don’t have to like Alastair Campbell to enjoy his devastating account of BBC chairman Richard Sharp

As you know by now, the BBC was quickly consumed by a crisis of its own after removing Gary Lineker from the game of the day until further notice.
The decision to ditch Lineker has seen a long line of BBC stars step out in solidarity, leaving their sporting schedule on TV and radio Saturday in absolute tatters.
And what is most extraordinary to many people is the double standard applied to Lineker compared to BBC Chairman Richard Sharp.
And nobody put it better than Alastair Campbell on the BBC’s own news channel. And you really don’t have to like Tony Blair’s former wingman to stand up and say hello to this.

🔥🔥 .@BBC News lose the plot. Alastair Campbell might also point out that in their numerous television appearances, individuals associated with right-wing think tanks are never introduced with such reservations— Alan Archibald (@AlanArchibald51) March 10, 2023
Alistair Campbell is a force of nature
