Once again, the BBC enables the now-ridiculous 'newspaper industry' to inject a damaging virus into the national conversation. ITV (GMB) is far worse.
All 'newspaper reviews' on mainstream TV & Radio should be stopped immediately.

I've never believed in the conspiracy view of the Right i.e. conspiring together in dark smoke-filled rooms, pushing chess pieces around a political board identifying the next 'front' to attack.
Nor do I believe they only believe this stuff because someone's paying them. No, they really believe it.
