In a poll for The Guardian newspaper, fewer than one in four people questioned felt Gavyn Davies and Greg Dyke needed to resign after Lord Hutton's scathing condemnation of the BBC's editorial and managerial standards on Wednesday.

The poll found that 31 percent of those questioned had faith in the BBC, compared to just 10 percent who had faith in ministers. Some 49 percent said they trusted neither side.

This coupled with the show of support for the resigned leader from his employees makes for something smelling funny.
