Tim Davie launches fightback against BBC’s ‘enemies’
Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary, echoed Mr Davie’s sentiment in a further attempt to shore up support for the BBC, which also faces the threat of a $1bn lawsuit from Donald Trump.
In a statement to the Commons, Ms Nandy described the BBC as “a light on the hill for people here and across the world”. She declined to give her support to Sir Robbie Gibb, the former Conservative communications chief who now sits on the BBC Board and is being blamed for orchestrating a “Right-wing coup”.
A light on the hill? Strewth, that's an unfortunate image cobbled together by Ms Nandy.
Presumably "a light on the hill" is looking down on us from on high, which of course is how the BBC sees itself. It's a perspective which has become a major part of the problem while Ms Nandy seems to be too dim to shed much light on anything.

The word "fightback" wasn't well chosen either as the word "fight" was a key insert in the catastrophic spliced video debacle. Was the splicing done on the same hill?

"a light on the hill" is presumably a warning fire to alert us to the approach of an enemy.
James - although they seem to have taken the Screamers and Shouters with them on the ship.
dearieme - and the enemy is a horde of Philistines who don't pay their TV licence.
