Nigel Farage has spoken out amid the BBC bias allegations engulfing the broadcaster, declaring that he has spoken about the matter with the US President.
Its Director General and CEO of BBC News resigned on Sunday over the claims of systemic bias within the British institution, including one surrounding a Panorama episode where Donald Trump’s speech on January 6 2021 was edited in a way that made it appear as if he was encouraging followers to “fight like hell”.
The friend of Mr Trump said: “”Now, of course, I spoke to the President on Friday. He just said to me, ‘is this how you treat your best ally?’
“It’s quite a powerful comment, isn’t it? It’s quite a powerful comment.”
He added: “If the BBC doesn’t now get a grip, get somebody in from the outside, somebody who has got a history and a culture of changing organisations, of turning them around.
“Then I think what you would see within the next couple of years are many, many millions just refusing, just not wanting to have the licence fee.”
