Is he the fearless truth seeker journo who took out a super injunction to stop people reporting on his own shady behaviour?

Without him I wouldnt be able to laugh at this clip several times a year. Its even funnier now that he has made a big deal of leaving to get his own voice back.

Who'll get the Sunday morning slot then? Kuenssberg seems to be linked with every post going at the moment, and they've shoe-horned Rajan into a Today berth that wasn't empty.

The world's dullest Thunderdome death match, but hey, if a bunch of over-privileged, self-satisfied, boss-adjacent, bully's-coat-holding PPE wankers have to tear chunks out of each other in closed-door interviews and off-the-record briefings whilst doing the whole fixed-grin 'I totally respect him/her and the amazing work they've done' thing when asked about their rivals in public, so be it

Its perfect for them, since what better way to demonstrate their sense of self-importance than to use a font named after their founder.

It's much better than using the one named after Eric Gill (and IIRC that was a factor).

The Reith typeface isn't new, it's been around for a few years now. Using an in-house font is good in that it doesn't incur any licensing fees or issues.

The BBC only employ and show people who are middle class, and as far as they can they only interview them also.

There's plenty of working class people at the BBC. Yeah, they might not as represented onscreen as middle class types but behind the scenes it's not as you claim above.

Quite possibly. I am only saying what I see. It is what everyone sees. Middle class people. Im not against middle class per se, but there are too many on there. Of British television channels, the BBC is my favourite, I consider them all wonderful channels. I would like more classical music television and Opera and Theatre. I watch mainly French television channels and they are extremely artistic and theatre based, which I like.

I am not with you on this post, what do you mean? I have no idea.

That's all very interesting, but really don't believe any of your posts.

Fair play. I often find it difficult to take anything seriously. I am a bit like Eddie Izzard in that respect.

Their choice of headline for a Maxwell story caused Who is Adolf Hitler to trend on UK twitter.

Just one example of the resulting tweets:

Christ, just read the story, it’s like an obituary to someone who did good in life, rather than a woman who’s greed led her to being a fucking monster.

The bbc has indeed gone right down since the heights of the 1980s

I cant say I miss the days when headlines such as "Beeb man sits on lesbian" were generated.

 

[teqniq]

I had to google this fucker. Why did R4 see fit to have him air his views?

 

[mauvais]

He was in the running to be Chairman of the BBC so at least that didn't happen.

They're still doing this mad 'balance' thing where they have to get a flat earther.

 

[two sheds]

yes right wing, and even more right wing for balance

Of course he's a peer.

I look forward to the day we can speak of the former person charles moore

 

[stavros]

Moore kept Johnson employed for many years, writing not entirely accurate columns whilst he (Moore) was editor at the Telegraph.

More sensationalist crap:



Venus is over 1000 times less bright than the moon, hardly "dazzling".

They'll be around 150 times the apparent width of Jupiter apart, hardly "almost touching".

compared to the other actual planets they're dazzlingly bright perhaps

you're such a literalist that life must present you with a never-ending series of challenges lesser mortals never notice
