Is the BBC perfect? No.
Is it a good thing when the leader of a foreign power can seriously threaten and interfere in the running of what is still the national public service broadcaster of an ally? Also no.
Both of these things can be true.

HELLO!
It’s nearly Thought Bubble. These are the places you can find me at the convention this year; hawking books (B24 2000AD hall), talking about old books, and playing some musics at you.
Hope you have a lovely week in the meantime.
Okay. Off to get on with my to do list now.
BYE!

My biggest tip for coloring is think of it like an equation:
Decide your most important factors, what limits that, what draws attention to that, then build everything else around that.
For instance: This object is the most important and must be orange.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

A Labour government in power, but the BBC DG is resigning due to pressure from the unelected right and a foreign power? Disgraceful. I hope (and doubt) the next will have more spine and government support.

Moore rather gave the game away on Today just now when he mentioned climate change as one of the things on which the BBC should be impartial. Treating the truth and lies as though they are equal isn't impartiality, it's an abdication of the most basic journalistic responsibility
