He said: “It’s interesting that his wife took control of this, and actually she should be praised for dealing with the fact that there’s a huge amount in our society that we still are affected by shame – and shame a huge part in the British human condition.” He added that people in the public eye “face the same pressures” and it is “really tough at the top”. “The BBC is regulated by Ofcom, by government, by a long winded process and their competition isn’t governed by same rules.” Mr Borkowski said he has “empathy” for the BBC as it is a “lumbering beast” who has to work with due process. Mr Borkowski said BBC director-general Tim Davie could not meet with the “most public facing figure of the nightly news” because of “due process”.
