BBC has apologised to President Trump and people have resigned. And that's it. The BBC will not be bullied.

I think the BBC should go to court with Trump and film the whole thing as an award winning documentary.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

The Tory member and former election candidate that Boris Johnson appointed as DG of the BBC in order to make it more right-wing is now not right-wing enough to be DG of the BBC.

Couldn't really ask for a clearer example of the Overton window being pushed rightward, could you?

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

All these prisoners accidentally released. I don't think this is what was meant by the government's "One in, one out" policy.

Saw new film Nuremberg last night. Award-worthy film which, sadly and scarily, resonates today. L to R stars Leo Woodall, Michael Shannon, Rami Malek and writer/ director James Vanderbilt.
