George Entwistle being pressured to give up half his pay off

Did the MPs suddenly give up all their expenses when they did wrong? NO!!! They waited until a proper review was done.

Want to have a country run by hyprocites?

Want to have a country that destroys itself?

Want to work for an organisation that prides itself for destroying itself because of its independence?

BBC promises major overhaul

'We must get a grip': BBC chairman Lord Patten steps into firing line as he promises 'radical' overhaul in wake of director general's resignation and Newsnight crisis

• Lord Patten tells Andrew Marr Show that George Entwistle 'left honourably'
• His decision comes just seven weeks after taking up £450,000-a-year job
• Home Secretary Theresa May: 'Entwistle took the right decision last night'
• Former Tory Minister: 'Winnie the Pooh would have been more effective'

Lord Patten today insisted the BBC would go through a 'radical overhaul' in the wake of George Entwistle's dramatic resignation last night as director-general after just seven weeks in the job.
The BBC Trust chairman said Mr Entwistle left the Corporation 'extremely honourably' and was taking responsibility for the 'awful journalism' that saw Newsnight wrongly label a Tory peer a paedophile.
He told The Andrew Marr Show: 'Throughout this in the way the BBC has covered ourselves, our credibility depends on telling the truth about ourselves and others, however horrible it might be.'

How dark is the BBC?

After 15 years Radio 2 DJ is sacked from the BBC with no reason given.

Given that the Tories want to be able to remove employee rights, I'm sure the government don't mind this happening, in the name of increasing this country's prosperity.

How does one define a culture of an organisation?

On the one hand many people at the BBC knew about Jimmy Savile's behaviour : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/9603743/Jimmy-Savile-BBC-did-nothing-when-director-caught-him-in-the-act.html 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2216622/Jimmy-Savile-sex-abuse-scandal-Jimll-Fix-It-director-David-Nicolson-told-BBC-bosses-ignored-him.html

On the other hand 2 senior BBC people said no complaints were made about Jimmy : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2216274/Jimmy-Savile-pictured-perched-Stoke-Mandeville-hospital-bedsides.html

In cases like this , is it that it was part of the culture or it wasn't to have an open secret about Jimmy?
