Cronyism

If you want to hear a demolition of the appointment of Richard Sharp as BBC Chairman, then listen to former BBC News executive Richard Ayre, in conversation with Roger Bolton, BBC-Scrutineer-In-Exile.

Richard rose to be in charge of Editorial Policy, a role in which many people become more judgely than most judges. He was later a BBC Trustee, which also handed down judgements longer than those issued by the Supreme Court.  So it's good to hear condemnation of cronyism in plain language. 

Mr Ayre says Mr Sharp will leave the BBC 'in good time'.
