The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

RIP St Jerome, you would've HATED sprayed edge special editions in Waterstones.
St Jerome writing in the 5th century, ahead of his time in hating on overly ornate special editions of books, where “parchments are dyed purple, gold is melted into lettering, manuscripts are decked with jewels, while Christ lies at the door naked and dying…”
