    Radio 4 relentlessly banging on about Peter Mandelson and whether Keir Starmer should go. OK, we get it - Starmer made a bad appointment and Mandelson is dodgy - but a whole hour spent talking about it, asking people their opinions, asking other people their opinions about the opinions, Nick Robinson and Sarah Montague hectoring and talking down to whoever they are interviewing (or lecturing to) incessantly, is just tedious. News presenters should stick to telling the news, not trying to be it.
    BBC Breakfast having Jon Kaye standing in Downing Street for no good reason. It was a real hatchet job by the BBC this morning.
    Not a political post - an observation in response to a post.

    The day after one of the most senior members of the governing party calls for his leader, the Prime Minister, to resign, and you believe there is no good reason for the country’s public service broadcaster to be outside the residence of said Prime Minister.

    Indeed, you think it is the broadcaster doing the hatchet job, rather than the senior member calling for his leaders resignation.

    An interesting spin.
    There was no need for the BBC to have a presence in Downing Street. The interviews could have taken place in the studio. Most of the time it was one BBC employee interviewing another BBC employee. These journalists shout out stupid questions, to which the person they are directed will never reply

    I am aware of a lot of complaints about the aggressive nature of the questioning by Jon Kaye, it was far from impartial.

    There is a Ukrainian athlete in the Skeleton, his helmet has pictures of Ukrainian Athletes who have been killed in the war. The IOC wont let him wear it, and suggested he wear a black armband in memory of them instead. He refused and has been kicked out of the competition

    I was unaware of this until you posted it. Hopefully, it'll be Barbara Streisand  moment.

    And now he's had his appeal dismissed.
    Obviously the same eejits that have been sitting in the High Court today.

    despite every bone in my body rooting for Ukraine, it's the only logical position for the IOC to take. Where do you draw the line?

    Let him wear the helmet and say nothing.
    Who is it hurting? It’s just remembrance, nothing political about it.
    Pathetic.

    It's tough but I agree with you.  Remember, Russian athletes displayed their Zs in support of their army and it was was very distasteful.  A tearful Kirsty Coventry tried everything in her power to find a solution.  You can see her speaking if you scroll down this link.

    Banning him from wearing it has given more publicity than if they had said nothing.

    That the neighbour of The Globe pub in Baker St is again having a (third) complaint about noise outside the pub being taken seriously by Westminster Council. The pub has been there for 290 years and he lives on f**king Marylebone Road. What an utter prick.

    I was told bryan ferry and for the last 20 years i had a vague dislike of him as a result. I just googled it and find out you are right and it was brian adams. Going to go buy some roxy music now. Have to admit always thought it was a bit out of character.
