Re:The bargain at the heart of the BBC is fraying

This article is from after the brexit vote about what might have happened in the event of a no deal brexit. We are currently in a grace period on import checks, and this week we've seen warnings from food suppliers about what will happen after the grace period [1]. This shows it wasn't "ridiculous".
Frankly I think the BBC did pretty well. Political parties didn't draw clear lines at first, and covering the full spectrum of opinions was probably impossible. Overall Farage got more airtime than his MP count would suggest was necessary, and he was sort of balanced by the Lib Dems.
Even with a deal sandwiches have been confiscated as a result of brexit, so in some way there really has been a threat to sandwiches [2].

I don't think there's much distinction between "you're not allowed an opinion" and "you're allowed an opinion as long as you don't tell anyone".

If a dev reads GPL code and reimplements it then the new implementation must be GPL (within fair use).

This was an issue caused by a negligent company failing to keep their devices secure. For me the solution to this is not just to rely on another potentially-also-negligent company. In my opinion on-prem+off-prem, or multiple off-prem solutions are necessary for anything of actual value.
