Been a long day. I've done lots of writing on my five trains, then an after dinner corporate thing.
Taxi coming at 5.30am for the return.

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?

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

While populist govts & media churn out slogans that reinforce & stoke people's prejudices, these papers that -by their own account- reach 25m households & 50m readers, provide valuable, informative journalism.
They fly under everyone's radar, so I thought I'd highlight this great effort today.
