But one wouldn't want to be a burden on the taxpayers or hard working families, would one?
Or slow down the housing market? Very disappointing from Rawnsley.

Why, oh why, oh why is any government so desperate to push through a private member's bill with debate in committee tightly controlled by the bill's sponsor, with contrary voices ignored, and any semblance of oversight removed and no consideration of coercion? Where's the impact assessment?

The only thing I would add is that it is unwise to repeat a derogatory label applied by someone else unless one can be confident in that someone's judgement.

If he's your friend, you owe it to him to explain that when he calls JKR a bigot he's spreading a lie, and that people will try to correct him; and that that's not an attack.

And that was the only sentence I could see in that letter which addressed the question in any way.
Some of it met the standards we set. Not most of it or all of it, but quite a bit. I think they're beyond help.

Not to be confused with Emma Barnett.

Well, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy will have control over the appointment of the DG, so what could possibly go wrong?

It's a bold move by the BBC, issuing this in the midst of the revelations in the Telegraph. They appear to have no clue whatsoever.
