Off the Record / Re: Brexit and the waning days...
Last post by Sheilbh - November 09, 2025, 05:25:56 PMI agree. I think it's the sort of thing I'd expect a trainee to know is unacceptable. The criticisms of coverage of the Tavistock clinic and BBC Arabic also seem fair. Which you'd hope from an independent consultant who thought it would be a confidential report.
Slightly struck by the number of veteran BBC reporters who say they recognise the criticism - as well as those, like John Simpson or Nick Robinson, who don't.
On the ruling class I genuinely think they're like Bourbon supporters or Victorians stranded in the 20th century who are just incapable of comprehending that the world has changed (and that the material basis of their world view basically no longer exists). I fee like The Rest is Politics is possibly the most extreme version of this.

Last post by Richard Hakluyt - November 09, 2025, 04:53:42 PMIt was a fairly disgraceful edit, I'm shocked that the BBC aired it.
Not very shocked though, tbe ruling class here seem to have had some sort of nervous collapse...... gross incompetence seems to reign in most areas of public endeavour.

To repeat your thesis in response to counter argument demonstrates a poor understanding of the dynamics of the dialectic.
