He lies

Strong stuff, and he is not even here to defend himself. Not a good start.

Why in that case would he want to 'lie' so publicly, so persistently and,
(if deliberately intended) expect to get away with it for so long? For the
money? Remember, he turned down the job of D.G. of the Beeb, when
head-hunted for it, citing his love for the work.

If I may preempt your reply here, doesn't calling someone a liar presuppose
that you know the truth? If so, what is it?
