The BBC needs to bloody grow a pair. So does Starmer. A couple of Labour terms would seal the Beeb's safety. Yours sincerely, Steve, up here in cloud cuckoo land.

It seems that the Daily Telegraph is the main anti-BBC yappy dog. On the side of the farming lobby and the grousemoor boys. Kill off the birds and insects, why not. Ruinously degrade tens of thousands of acres of upland so that a few entitled men wearing very stupid pants can shoot at birds that are five times as intelligent as they are. No problem.
