Are we not rapidly reaching the point where Trumps says "so what?" - he's apparently untouchable, unimpeachable. And he can pardon anyone he wants. So he can do what he wants and never gets held to account.

Everyone is saying to release the Epstein Files, yet every now and then, usually when the demand to release the files gets louder, some emails and information suddenly appears. So where is this information coming from, and who is choosing to release it bit-by-bit?

BBC Morning Live talking about scam phone calls and not getting suckered in. Presenter (Helen?) said “I got one yesterday. I think it was a scam. I hung up - but I had a nice chat first”

Why is nobody pointing out that the BBC is our state broadcaster? It is funded from government. Suing the BBC is effectively suing the country. You can't just close down the BBC like a dodgy newspaper.

Just got off an hour call with IT vendors, discussing our server and infrastructure requirements.
They're going to come back with a detailed analysis and proposal, full of resilience, expansion capacity and future-proofing.
We're going to order another basic server direct from Dell.

If a self-identifying “left of centre” government with a parliamentary majority of more than a hundred seats won’t defend a vital public service institution you really have to ask why it’s in government at all.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

If they closed down the BBC, the property market would collapse. Auctioneers would go bust. Country homes would go unsold. Council tips would be inundated with old tables. Old people would have to decide for themselves if a text message was a scam. Lunchtime news presenters would have to sit down.

My tips to improve the BBC:
Maybe show a few more property and antiques programmes. It's safer.
And maybe offer to send DIY-SOS to finish off the White House.

It's easy to confuse being right-wing with being greedy.
People support right-wing politics not out of any ideological views, but for personal financial benefit.
This is inevitable in a society where money is power. People lose empathy because they see everyone with less wealth as being weaker.

Media bias is all about perception. It depends on where your viewpoint is.
I consider myself a centrist. My thoughts on the BBC are that is seems to me to be right-wing, but not extreme. I tend to trust what they report as being accurate, but maybe they are inclined to be selective in their content.
