agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

'If both sides are criticising me, I must be doing something right,' I warble, as I run babytalk opinion on the BBC News website.

Indeed. I feel like a lot of the reactions to the BBC exits are repeating the flaws of this era in BBC News, which is to go 'never mind the professionalism, let's focus on the politics'.
'Leave to one side for now the direct allegations about specific failures of BBC coverage' - you can't do that. That's ridiculous.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

The reason Joyce's short story The Dead resonates so hard with Irish men and women is because Greta fell in love with a proper Irishman who didn't use an umbrella... whereas Gabriel probably owned two, not counting the one up his hole.
A mate who was a teenager in the wee north in the 70s was delighted to discover, when his family moved from Derry to Belfast that a guy could use an umbrella in Belfast without being called gay (unlike Derry where you just had to put up with the rain running down the neck of your denim jacket)
