Maybe the BBC would be better if they made it British again! This from an
English blogger:
In short order, these two departees will be replaced and it will be business as usual and the crisis dies down and the legacy media go back to sleep. But the nub of it is that, from the school of “things can only get worse”, the replacements can hardly get better.
Consider for a moment that the chair of the BBC Board is
Samir Shah, born in Aurangabad, India. His half-brother, with whom he shares the same mother, is
Mohit Bakaya. As of 2024, Bakaya is controller of BBC Radio 4.
The chief people officer of the BBC is
Uzair Qadeer, responsible for overseeing the “end-to-end human resources capabilities across the BBC Group” and responsible for “shaping and driving the BBC’s people strategy, cultural transformation, and organisational change”. Qadeer was born in Lahore, Pakistan and was educated in the United States.
Under him is
Irene Asare, Global HR Director for BBC News. She is Ghanaian and was born in Agona Swedru, a town in the Central Region of Ghana. Here early education was at Swedru School of Business, and career and her main experience is in working for Ghanaian industries in the telecommunications and oil and gas fields.
