            "If you speak for yourself - write a letter". What a pompous arse.

                Whatever you may think about the BBC (and I don't watch enough of it to have a proper opinion), this is good:

                  Obviously not actually Emily Maitlis, but a good one anyway

                    absolutely no conflict of interest between chairing the Spectator and his BBC job

                        The BBC has a new Director General

                        Astonishingly they have chosen a white privately educated man.

                            Golding is out on bail for terrorism offences and banned from any protest. Amazing how they managed to find him, mind.

                                  That's Sky News. But the BBC aren't any better, they have been reporting that far-right and Black Lives Matter protestors are clashing in central London, whereas all the footage is of the fascists clashing with the Met (who the fascists are reportedly calling "left wing scum").

                                          they've decided to get rid of Derbyshire anyway


                                          this is seriously odd

                                          Kuennsberg, naturally..

                                          who exactly is her audience- the "normal" economist licencepayer?

                                          Most of us change our minds all the time.

                                          Maybe this morning you had planned to go for a run, then actually when push came to shove another ten minutes in bed seemed a better idea.

                                          Maybe when you grew up you wanted to be an astronaut but then discovered that you weren't that good at physics and, developed vertigo as an adult in any case. Maybe you spent years doing one job but decided over time that it wasn't for you.

                                          This is normal life, and perfectly rational behaviour. One of the most well-known 20th Century economists, John Maynard Keynes, summed up "when the facts change, I change my mind"
                                          Although for the pedants among you (welcome along!), as with so many of the most quoted statements, it may actually have originally been said by someone else - a different august economist, Paul Samuelson - and might have been the slightly different phrase, "when my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do sir?"

                                          Why then do politicians try to avoid a change of heart?

                                            One day you intend to starve poor children. Then the next, after being shamed by a footballer, you decide instead to fuck them up less overtly instead

                                              Now now, ad hoc. You’re just dragging politics into it.

                                              Hungry kids aren’t the issue here

                                              Although ministers have for many days defended the decision not to pay for free school meals in England over the summer, highlighting other chunks of money given to councils to help; the involvement of a young, well-liked, articulate and high-profile figure Marcus Rashford made that defence less sustainable by the hour.

                                                John Craven's Newsround would have rejected that article as too childishly written.

                                                  Marcus Rashford is a seriously impressive young man.

                                                  Dom’s Orcs will be desperately searching his bins and social media for any dirt they can find. If, as I suspect, there is none, some may well be made up.

                                                    In fairness to Newsround and whoever is in charge of the BBC news output for kids, they didn't hold back in calling the people "defending statues" out as racist and far right when reporting on it.

                                                    Nice to have LauraK back on form after her sudden disappearance when Cummings was in the shit. Not as if anything important was going on.
