I'm afraid the latest episode of the podcast will be out tomorrow, not today as usual. We're squeezing in an extra special discussion of Turner and Constable at the Tate.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I simply can't understand the measure of passing more laws to curb illegal immigration - or other activities for that matter (such as selling goods without paying the appropriate tax). Why not just implement the existing laws?

Such a pleasure to listen to #DesertIslandDisks and hear the uplifting story about the life of Lennie James. A hard youth, with a great deal of sadness, but full of kindness too. Thank you.
