You've ignored the strong positive message set across a variety of output currently visible to everyone with access to bbc.co.uk and countered it with a an unreferenced description of an article (the HN comment has no title or link) and a potential factual omission from an interview (with no external reference to confirm).

(I don't work for the BBC and internal matters are somewhat opaque to the outside world, but even the Pride issue seems to have been some poor interpretation of a brand new guideline by someone internally that was spun into a bigger story and dealt with within a few days - https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54749024)

I'm still struggling to see the evidence for a war.
