US Politics | How about an apology from the BBC to the British public to compensate the victims of its lies?

Shame of BBC THE BBC's disgraced "journalist" Martin Bashir is lower than a snake. We knew he duped Princess Diana into the 1995 Panorama interview which made his career and some believe led ultimately to her death. PAYesterday the BBC finally apologised to Charles and Tiggy and paid her damages '/ ' But the long ordeal his squalid tactics inflicted on ­William and Harry's former nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke was appalling too. To soften Di up towards him he allegedly told her Charles and Miss Legge-Bourke were lovers. Di was said to have been shown a fake letter as "proof" the nanny had an abortion. It was all lies. The BBC suspected Bashir was dodgy. But they smeared and sacked a whistle-blower, then proudly watched Bashir become a global star. They even rehired him in 2016. And when Press scandals triggered the Leveson inquiry a decade ago, these sanctimonious hypocrites assumed the moral high ground and cheered it all on. Read More on BBC 'CANNY PRINCESS' Diana had 'no regrets' over Bashir chat & 'foolish portrayal is offensive' Yesterday the BBC finally apologised to Charles and Tiggy and paid her damages. How shameful it had to be dragged to court first. But the guilty BBC execs won't be paying the bill. We all will. The total cost of this scandal has swallowed tens of thousands of licence fees. How about an apology to the public — forced by law not only to fund the BBC but to compensate the victims of its lies? Cops net zero CRIME is at a 20-year high. But most cops in our biggest force make ZERO arrests in a year. A blind man can see the connection.

AFPMet Police new boss Mark Rowley will fail if he merely tinkers at the edge '/ ' Life-ruining robberies and burglaries go ignored. But officers find time to pose gormlessly at social justice marches, willed on by woke chiefs obsessed by PR. One ex-Met detective tells The Sun that in the past his colleagues might make "five arrests in a few days, not in a year . . . burglars, thieves and robbers". "The public," he adds, "need to be ­protected and that means arresting criminals." Well, quite. The serially failing Met is now in ­special measures, the legacy of two abysmal commissioners in succession overseen by a dismal Mayor. New boss Mark Rowley will fail too if he merely tinkers at the edges. A revolution in basic policing is required. Roar talent WITH one sublime extra-time goal, Georgia Stanway not only fired our Lionesses into the Euros semis, she may just have changed women's footie here forever. Who can dispute that, with a packed Amex stadium going berserk and nine million of us watching the drama on TV and online? Imagine what that figure will be for the semi next Tuesday. Come on, ladies! You can do this.
