Hall tries to greenwash away his Bashir stain

DISGRACED former BBC boss Tony Hall is greenwashing what’s left of his reputation just months after swerving calls to be stripped of his peerage for presiding over the Martin Bashir Diana documentary scandal.

His production company, I can reveal, was commissioned to produce an official video called Earth To COP to open the recent Glasgow summit.

The company boasted the film was made after an ‘invitation from the UK Government’. Liz Sugg, a former Cameron aide made baroness, was a paid adviser on the video.

Last night Ian Paisley, one of the MPs who thinks Hall should lose his peerage over the Bashir fallout, called the greenwashing gig ‘shameless’ and another example of how ‘the BBC and its god-like hierarchy are untouchable’.

Baron Hall of Birkenhead hasn’t spoken once in the Lords since January 2013 and only voted twice in the same period.

Earth to Hall: Go now. The climate is changing.
