It’s a bizarre decision by BBC management. Andrew Marr is not a tough or forensic interviewer. Not even his best friends would claim that.
Would Banks do an interview with Jeremy Paxman or even someone like Eddie Mair? Doubt it. Seems like he’s picked his interviewer carefully. A soft interviewer who’s expressed pro Brexit views.
The BBC don’t generally provide a platform to people under investigation. What next - Andrew Marr interviews Harvey Weinstein?
The BBC is the establishment’s broadcaster & it’s showing more than ever.
Any specific and irrefutable evidence of that ?
He invited Arron Banks to speak to the members of his exclusive dining club & pointed out there would be lots of people willing to donate to Leave.EU.
Andrew Neil hasn’t denied it so.....
So no evidence he shares the same views or is a friend.
