BBC Chairman Richard Sharp resigns

Quote:
Speaking about his subsequent interview with the appointments panel ahead of his appointment as BBC chairman, he says: “I wish, with the benefit of hindsight, this potential perceived conflict of interest was something I had considered to mention.

“I would like once again to apologise for that oversight – inadvertent though it was – and for the distraction these events have caused the BBC”.

Two non-disclosure breaches by Sharp, report finds

We're looking at the Commissioner for Public Appointments' report in full now, which has found two non-disclosures by Richard Sharp during the application process for his BBC chairman role breached the governance code for public appointments.

Adam Heppinstall KC says Sharp failed to disclose two "potential perceived conflicts of interest" to the panel that interviewed him.

1) Sharp informed then Prime Minister Boris Johnson that he "wished to apply to be chair of the BBC board, before he made his application in November 2020".

2) Sharp told Johnson, before he was interviewed, that he was going to to make the introduction between Sam Blyth and the Cabinet Secretary Simon Case, with Blyth having suggested he might be able to "assist the former prime minister with his personal finances".

Not sure there are enough caveats in that sentence…

Re: BBC Chairman Richard Sharp resigns

Long overdue. A stain on our state broadcaster’s fledgeling claims to independence.

Sharp the latest in a heap of individuals who rue the day they ever had anything to do with Boris Johnson, a transactional, purely self-interested loner who contaminates all who touch him

Johnson seems to me to be the culprit.

Re: BBC Chairman Richard Sharp resigns

I am frustrated there are no consequences to this other than him needing to resign. The chairmanship of the BBC was awarded to someone as a thank you for helping to secure a loan for the PM! There should be legal ramifications to such naked corruption.

There is no crime proven. Somebody helped somebody else to get loan.

What I want know, which bank/fund gave the loan to Bojo, what was the interest rate and what was the collateral. Did the chairman of BBC was the guarantor or a proxy of his?

Re: BBC Chairman Richard Sharp resigns

The stories of Tory corruption/sleaze/etc. now seem to be arriving on a daily basis. They are toast.

You are wrong. The depths of proven corruption & sleaze is so vast, they have to go. If after 5+ years in Government, Labour are proven to be the same then I will agree with you. Until then, my point stands.
