Dodgy declaration

Why would anyone think the Culture Sec.’s declaration that the BierBC is ‘an institution like no other’ is a Good Thing? One would hope that other institutions don’t have an irredeemable left-wing bias, don’t go in for one scandal after another and don’t have the POTUS chasing them for ten billion bucks.
    And it’s not much of an excuse for making the Beeb’s output pay-per-view on top of the tax already being extracted.
