Nick Robinson, ffs

How far down the road of “deliciously politically incorrect” are you prepared to go?

My preferred listing style is a., 2/, (iii).

The BBC's biases are more complicated than that. But given that they exist, simply telling the truth loud and clear won't always be the most effective way of getting a message across. You have to find ways to make the biases work, if not for you, at least not against you.

Loss of patience understandable. But as a matter of tactics, it's clear that at least on the BBC) any accusation of "lying" automatically pushes the host into siding with the other guy. How do you counter that?

I wouldn't go that far – there are a lot of individuals bands or songs I like – but I am baffled by how seriously popular music in general is taken. 6music used to have a slogan about "the music that matters", and my thought was always "Does it, though?"

And a little entertainment afterwards?

But a significant part of that wealth came from the captive markets the Empire provided: so the processing of raw cotton was outlawed in India, and factories were smashed up to stop it. India was forced to sell raw cotton to British manufacturers, and buy cloth back.

Henry Tate's wealth was all made post slavery, btw, and he was an importer of sugar, not an owner of plantations. As Victorian millionaires go, he was pretty clean (that may not be saying a lot).

You did right. If you mean that myriad isn't as bad as plethora, we may have to agree to differ. I don't mind plethora if it's used correctly, to mean an unhealthy excess. (Then again, it never is.)

It starts with plethora, ends with myriad.

Run while you still can.

I think it works well. My slight reservation is that religious education is a little bit blunt for RE. Would “divinity” work there?

I rather like nebulous
