Greg
Dyke exposed the BBC as "hideously white"
and hit his target of having 10% of its staff and 4%
of its management from ethnic minorities by the end
of 2003, so his loss is a tragedy. I fear for the future
of the BBC's innovative public empowerment reforms.
As a member of the non-gagged public, I would suggest
we all take lessons from the "unsexed-up"
dignity of those like Robin Cook, Greg Dyke and Gavyn
Davies, in contrast to the fiasco that is the Hutton
report.
