THE BBC DON’T NEED A COMMENTATOR, THEY NEED A LAWYER

The BBC could, and perhaps definitely should, be in big trouble.  They went into battle against the Conservative Party armed with what they hoped would be something that would deliver the killer blow to not only the Tories’ reputation but even perhaps Lady Thatcher’s.
