That is almost what they are doing… The US embassy have been sending out letters asking all kinds of places in like Europe and Austrailia that they should follow Trumps executive orders. So I mean… Yeah. Maybe BBC also have gotten some letters.
The BBC isn’t all that wonderful. They used to exercise a great degree of independence, but since Thatcher, their autonomy has steadily been eroded, and their senior management consists of toadies, mainly aligned with the previous Conservative government. They’re afraid to offend and won’t address some issues (strong UK citizen support for Palestine, where Farage gets his money, links between MAGA and current Tory leadership, etc). They Aalways sanewash Trump. The Tories, during the 14 years in power, did everything they could to weaken the BBC and make it more suitable for privatisation.
Up next: what do you mean I can’t fire the BBC?
As an aside, I’ve been told directly to my face in meat space that the BBC isn’t trustworthy and I should stick to our news sources.

I mean it’s definitely conservative dog water, but our sources aren’t better
