OTY is looking into the challenges of being a football commentator. John Murray from Sports World will join us to answer your questions. Are you curious about how the job works? How he prepares for the game? Or the demands of painting pictures with words? Then do get in touch!
Guest, the BBC seem to rely – especially on R4 (which is all I have experience of these days) – on cheapo ‘Get in touch’, non-investigative, non news-gathering non-journalism. William Crawley was at it this morning on the Sunday Programme: “What is your favourite Christmas song? Do get in touch with us via the web-site, Twitter or Facebook to let us know.”
Banal.
For the ‘Millennial Generation’ I guess. Amusingly, he let us know who would be ‘in the chair’ next Sunday. It was Ed Stewart*. Ed Stewart has been dead five years! William Crawley’s brain has obviously been deadened by BBC output.
Probably 75% is a fairer number. Lyse has been in Kabul with the Taliban in charge and the country full of guns. Brave. OAP John Simpson is still racking up the air miles. Sopes is back in the UK but some lass is reporting in his place. Someone has been kicked out of Moscow: Sue Rainsford?
And don’t forget Kuenssberg, Naughtie and another female of Scots origin live in Scotland at least part of the week. The Montacutie lives way out west..
Think about women’s boxing, which I simply won’t watch. Gruesome…
Tyson Fury could “realign”…or what ever it’s called… return to the ring using the name “Tanya” and continue his career as women’s undefeated world heavyweight champion (The Gypsy Queen) until he’s a hundred and ten.
Sorry (ahem) I mean until “she’s” a hundred and ten.
Looking at the thread, it seems very Vile Show, where it is entirely legitimate to dob in anyone not liked on anything trivial if they are the wrong sort.
But woe betide the stoolie betraying the sacred trust of a community that operates on the basis laws are only for those who are gainfully employed.

Saturday lead local radio news and local BBC TV news was a sermon
“Here is a local pregnant woman who didn’t get vaccinated
to warn you to get vaccinated”
mother “we survived but it was quite scary”
I bet the government arranged for each region to have a similar local mother on.
Mike Wendling of BBC Disinformation Unit ‘protects his tweets’ too.
Thing is, it is often simply utilising censorship in defence of propaganda or flat out ly… inaccuracy.
All under the benign gaze of Franny, Timmeh! , OFCOM, dcms and Nads.
It would be good to have all, or any explain why. Especially from a national broadcaster with a poor record in easing community relations in service of agenda.
By coincidence I am looking the Wendling tweet
‘I’m impartial, those scum aren’t, so I won’t debate them’
… Someone replied to him
Then he he pulled up the protector shields
by banning more people from replying

Vine and his wife are also directors of Jelly Vine Productions (the same one he made his daughter a shareholder) that don’t actually seem to produce anything. Could get his company to charge the BBC and C5 directly thus avoiding income tax and national insurance. Nice work if you can get it, living in a nice £2.0million house (as at 2008) in Airedale Avenue, North London.

Over the past 50 years, climate scares have been spectacularly wrong again and again. The doomsayers got it wrong because they overlooked the greatest resource of all: human ingenuity.https://t.co/zg2oaxzWVx
Just seen the GBNews weather – it has great detail including motorway and A roads on the map . But how did a thought arise that some one some where is planning to put cycle lanes on motorways – 2 lanes only – 50mph speed limits – road works for ever and ever .

The story of the 6 year old boy who has tortured to death by his ‘parents ‘ continues to run . Is it some sort of guilt ? They want to review the hefty sentences . They was a nation wide review .
None of this is provide protection for the other children who will / are – suffering and dying in similar conditions . Will any individual bare any responsibility for the death ? No . The mail published details of the head of the social services department who has taken her hefty pension and pay out .
Meanwhile the 2 parents are still alive – the prison service doing a fine job …

I stand corrected. Tx.
Apologies for a poor grasp of the nuances of being censored.

Either for a state media employee, especially those prone to error, seems… unfortunate.
Especially any with ‘fact checking’ in the job description.
