I will restate my modest proposal to save the BBC: ban the BBC from covering itself.
Every BBC scandal goes huge, because every BBC News show wants to assert its independence by covering it prominently, even if several other shows already did. So it gets blanket headlines.

A man has been cautioned for making off after stealing 100 helium balloons from other bus passengers.
I think he got off lightly.

You’d need to reinstate Radio 4 Longwave in order to cover all the councils with alternate week collections in different parts of the borough.
‘SE7, dry recycling only, becoming non-recyclable waste later.’

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

There was a Futurism exhibition in London à few years ago - missed it

Recent highlight of the @coolbikeart1.bsky.social feed: fantastic painting by Enzo Benedetto from 1926 in the Second Wave of Italian Futurism. #procycling

Dear friends, do me a favour and please spread the word on this. Times are tough, but so is this record...
I've not plugged this in a while, but if you still haven't got yourself a copy of my Rodigan endorsed Sleng Teng rework of Eddie Cochran's Somethin' Else, then what are you waiting for? rongorongorongo.bandcamp.com/album/someth...

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.
