Julian Knight MP, chair of the Culture Select Commitee, and author of seminal works such as "Retiring Wealthy for Dummies" and "The Euro-crisis for Dummies", has given himself plenty of time to interview a real financial expert, Richard Sharp, chairman-designate of the BBC, this afternoon.
The Zoom session has been set for 2.30pm til 5pm.
Doubtless Mr Knight will have picked up concerns from gnarly hack Peter Oborne, that Mr Sharp has made two substantial donations to the Quilliam think tank, which tries to argue that "Islam is not Islamism", and claims to be "the world’s first counter-extremism organisation". It has recently acquired funding from some right-wing sources.
Quilliam spends a lot of its time defending its claimed status as champions of pluralism and campaigners against anti-Muslim bigotry (cf the BBC here). Leading member Maajiz Nawaz presents on LBC at the weekend. I'm not sure I'd fund him.
"Lockdown kills. It's as simple as that."
