This is extraordinary bogus equivalence from Sarah Smith who compares unquoted inflammatory rhetoric by un named people on the left to that of the POTUS and his appointees as two sides of the same coin.

Sarah Smith: another one whose voice grates and has me reaching for the tuning knob or off button.

I really should stick to Radio 3, although that is slowly getting 'dumbed down' by the BBC too

I think you'll be OK (The Folk show on R2 has also marked this anniversary in song)

I'm listening to R3's "Train Tracks" whilst doing my least favourite household job: tidying up. It is making the task much, much more bearable

The BBC have upset some snowflakes who oppose freedom of speech.

I think HIGNFY may have bigger worries on its plate at the moment.

As Chaminda Jayanetti said, if this had happened last year and someone had wrongly suggested a Tory was benefiting from a Tory policy, this would have been a major shitstorm about BBC bias.

I see last Friday's HIGNFY is back on iPlayer now - has the potentially troublesome bit been edited out, can anyone tell?

I dunno, but they've left in the good bits.

Nice sighting of Jimmy Mulville, who I fondly imagine is working on a new series of Who Dares Wins. If only people who ran the rest of the BBC output could stop heeding online crap.

The arrival of a generation of young producers “marinated in social media” led to a false claim about Euan Blair being broadcast on Have I Got News For You, the production chief behind the show has said.

The first in a new series of the BBC show featured an incorrect claim that the company run by the son of the former prime minister Tony Blair had been given the contract to run the government’s new digital ID system.

It fuelled online accusations that it explained his father’s strong support for ID cards.

Jimmy Mulville, the founder of the programme’s producers Hat Trick Productions, said he wanted to highlight the dangers of “digital native” producers taking widely circulated claims from X, formerly Twitter, without questioning their veracity.
