So so sad to hear about Tim Brooke-Taylor - from Goodies legend to R4 stalwart. It won’t be the same around Mornington Crescent

UK HE, let's not spread the virus like chumps. We are supposed to be the smart ones, after all. Great piece here on closing campuses

Fiona Bruce is performing a headline act on QT for the BBC. Wading into a young audience member like this, plainly and wrongly defending https://t.co/bHGsOTHPhu is naked bias. She is not right for the gig.

Munchetty case demonstrates #bbc idea of balance as ethically defunct relativism: if racism is just one ‘opinion’ amongst many, everything is permissible. Paradoxically, Munchetty’s testimony re her damaging experience of racism, however, is not permissible.

#bbctoday Gove arrives in riddling fashion, noting ‘Sturm und Drang’ and ‘Summer Lightning’ - not craft beers but the sophisticated chat of a future PM (he imagines). Nation weeps.

the #SimonEvansGoestoMarket edition on Marx was perfectly BBC - a 2.2 level, bowdlerised understanding of Marx contrived to attack the contemporary left. BBC only comfortable with centre right position.

I’m glad these guys are propping up the UK govt - they make the Taliban look like the Lib Dems (Tim Fallon, I’m looking at you)

Anyone would think Brexit was a really noxious and ridiculous idea, possible in the imagination but not in practice, judging from the way these Parliamentarians are carrying on #BrexitVote
