It is absolute and utter neglect to let this come this close to the wire just as the US has let most of its overseas broadcasting shutter.
And another bites the dust?
The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

Usually get frustrated by curling taking up so much time on the #BBCOlympics coverage but surprised they've prioritised the Big Air qualifying over the second half of the Team GB curling match tonight. #WinterOlympics

Funnily enough there isn't a "slight delay" to the medal ceremony on Discovery. Surely they could have held on on BBC1 for 5 minutes. #WinterOlympics

What's that sound? Oh, it's the BM caving in to pressure from some supporters of racist genocide. I'm sure their chair, George Osborne, and the trustees (including the blessed Mary Beard) will be up in arms about this, right? right?
The British Museum has removed the word Palestine from displays about the ancient Middle East following “concerns” by a UK-based Israeli advocacy group.

#WALvFRA would usually be a guaranteed sell out - even if Welsh fans weren't anticipating victory we'd turn out to watch quality opposition. Nearly 17000 empty seats is less about the piss poor Wales teams of the last 2 years and more about the shitshow that is the @welshrugbyunion.bsky.social.

Thought the BBC would have dropped Jonathan Davies by now. Would be much more preferable to have Sam Warburton on commentary. #SixNations #WALvFRA

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Does seem unfair most Winter Olympians get their competition done in a couple of hours whilst the curlers do 13 hour days for almost 3 weeks. #WimterOlympics

Compare what happens in your average football match with what Italy captain Michele Lamaro said about Hollie Davidson after Italy’s narrow defeat in Ireland yesterday. Both of them are heroes.
