Quentin Letts to head the BBC!

Over on Coffee House, Quentin Letts has published a manifesto to run the BBC. 

One of his proposals is that the new Director General should be subject to "a confirmation hearing in front of the Commons culture committee.  Parliamentary approval could help a DG boot BBC ostriches up the backside".

The idea of giving those we elect the power to confirm government appointments seems to be catching on a mere 370-something years after we fought a civil war to establish the principle.

Letts for DG!
