The BBC is used by thousands or maybe millions of non English speaking people to improve their understanding of the language. As an avid listener for many years and an Englishman, I find almost impossible to understand the likes of Davina Gupta. Surely as the British Broadcasting Corporation you should be promoting the language in its almost pure sense as it used to be.

British deep-state propaganda. The BBC, leading the vanguard for the cabal of lying mainstream media.
