BBC Chairman Richard Sharp Resigns Over Breach of Appointment Rules and Boris Johnson Loan Scandal.
TL;DR
Richard Sharp, the chairman of the BBC, has resigned after a report found he failed to disclose his involvement in facilitating a loan of almost $1 million to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Sharp claimed the breach was “inadvertent and not material,” but said he was resigning to “prioritise the interests of the BBC.” The BBC has been embroiled in controversy this year after it suspended its star football presenter Gary Lineker for criticizing the government’s migration policy.
