BBC reaction Bush House


A day of reaction to yesterday's revelations. Quite a lot of anger internally, and a media witch hunt has begun. There will be casualties, probably the wrong ones . Open letter to M Thompson.
The afternoon was spent at Bush House with a dispute over proposed changes in the World Service Chinese section. 20% cuts will leave the service overstretched and threatens compulsory redundancies for members. A little bit of sense emerged which will allow talks to go forward but with nearly a half a million pound gap tough talks lie ahead.
