Show Notes
On Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Lucie Kon, an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who won a £400,000 payout from the BBC over claims she was the victim of anti-Semitism and was bullied out of the broadcaster. Kon said she had been victimised after the Oct 7 terrorist attacks by colleagues who said Zionists such as her were “evil”. The BBC was also accused of adjusting her credit on several works, including Mr Nobody against Putin, for which she won an Oscar, with Kon saying: “My name was hidden in the middle of the credits.” As part of the non-financial remedies in the settlement, the BBC will give her name more prominence in the credits.
