00:00I'll tell you my experience of the BBC and how it reacts to issues.
00:02I only left the BBC last year.
00:04Right.
00:05Mr Quarton was sitting here and he said, you know,
00:08this is the BBC's acting quickly and decisively.
00:10In fact, a BBC press spokesman used those exact words.
00:13My take on that is that it's fear.
00:16It's absolutely driven by fear.
00:19Is there due process? Is there a transparency?
00:21You're an investigative reporter.
00:23You know all about how there must be due process.
00:25When you bring a report here, you have to know that you've...
00:29It takes more than a week normally to get it on air.
00:32Well, quite, quite, right?
00:33So I'd be interested to see more transparency from the BBC
00:37and the process they went through to get to this decision.
00:39And I'm telling you from someone who worked within the BBC for over two decades,
00:44a lot of the decisions, especially, I think, under the leadership of Tim Davey,
00:48they're just fear-driven.
00:50They're terrified.
00:51Oh, my gosh, it's the papers. What should we do?
00:53Right, just get rid of it.
00:54Get rid of it as quickly as possible.
