You say it is biased toward the left, but looking at the facts - such as most of the political editors have links with the Tory Party, and UKIP and the Brexit parties were given masses of coverage despite not having any MPs, whereas the Green Party is more or less ignored, and numerous complaints by the Labour Party (images of Corbyn were photoshopped to have the Kremlin in the background! Imagine the fury if Johnson were pictured with a swastika?). Looking at the facts, they add up more to a right wing bias.

It can't ignore politics, but it should give a balanced debate. The last few years it has been blatantly biased towards the left, wether daily politics or Brexit. Wether this was as a directive from the top, or just a lack of control of its front men/women I dont know.
It doesn't appear to have the ******** to stand up for British values, traditions, or customs, and many Brits find that disappointing.
I understand that there are people out there who also dont give a damn about British culture or history either, but that doesn't justify the BBCs stance.
I don't think anyone wants the BBC to swing to the right, that would be just as bad as it is today, just regain that independence and give an opportunity for politicians to give their views , rather than listen to the presenters view.
I think what is probably more the case is UK newspapers are so right wing, that anything else looks left wing by comparison.
As for your claim that the BBC doesn’t stand up for British values and culture and customs, what examples do you have in mind? To me, the BBC is British values, customs, and culture.
