Nandy ‘Not Confident’ That BBC Wouldn’t Broadcast Bob Vylan-Style Death Chant Again – Guido Fawkes

LISTEN: Nandy ‘Not Confident’ That BBC Wouldn’t Broadcast Bob Vylan-Style Death Chant Again

Lisa Nandy has this morning said she is not confident that the BBC wouldn’t broadcast something like the Bob Vylan death chant again. The Culture Secretary’s war of words with the BBC continues…

Nandy said on LBC that the corporation “recognised that that can never happen again. They’ve taken a series of measures, including strengthening their own internal procedures about oversight and governance, about live broadcasts, about due diligence and risk.“ Not that it has encouraged much hope…

Asked by Nick Ferrari if she was confident the BBC wouldn’t put out something like the Vylan Glastonbury chant again she said:

“I can’t say that I’m currently confident about that, but I do recognise that there’s been significant progress that has been made in the last few weeks, and when parliament returns in September, of course, both the Chair of the BBC and the Director General will be appearing in front of the Select Committee, and I’m sure the committee, as the whole of parliament has shown, will have a lot of questions to ensure that the public can have confidence that the BBC won’t find itself in this situation again.”

Looks like it’s a race between Davie and Nandy as to who will be out of a job first…
