Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

New post just out:
"Never again?"
On how the radical right are trying to change our collective memory about World War Two as part of their assault on the postwar order.
And why that memory remains a critical defence against nationalism.

If you'd rather read about an Edinburgh house through time - or are inspired so to do by what will certainly be a fascinating programme - do try 10 Scotland Street; an opinionated history of one house over two centuries.

All these people really want is to pay no taxes and be treated with floor scraping deference. Everything else is just bullshit in pursuit of that goal.

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

BBC continues to have a persistent editorial problem in hyping & exaggerating scale of asylum protests (even at odds with its own reporting)
How can a report quoting the police saying "about 150 people attended" a protest and counter-protest have the headline "hundreds join asylum hotel demo"

This might be aimed at asylum seekers, but in approach and language - especially the parts about the safely of his daughters and not wanting newly-arrived immigrants as neighbours - it’s pretty much indistinguishable from the BNP-style open racism of the 70s and 80s.
