She commences by offering context to the leaked document prepared by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper. "It is not my wish for the BBC slanting toward one side or the other, I just want it neutral, fair and equitable," he declares. When asked if he believes the BBC is systematically partial, Prescott responds: "No I don't.

A further former external BBC specialist questioned by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she takes the BBC extremely earnestly and that it operates a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" across dynamic and complex topics. "Was the BBC ready to conduct a proper conversation and debate and take action?" she questions. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
