- Hands off our BEEB
Excellent coverage in all the misinformation and hype. It’s critical that the BBC resist what is ultimately a power grab. An excellent lawyer in Florida would be Michael Popok (Legal AF )

Apple Podcasts5SueexeterUnited Kingdom2 years ago This is NOT a "Beeb Watch" it is just a BBC Cheer Leader exercise not an independent Podcast. Bolton constantly ensures any guest is as pro BBC and DEFINITELY Anti GBNews as he desires.
Balanced? No way.
