is it because every sodding news outlet seems to be competing with each other to see who can run the most craven and embarrassingly hagiographic puff pieces about this tiresome franchise?

Office/Sharepoint nerds, is there a way to temporarily lock out contributors from a document while I'm working on it so they don't get loads of real-time notifications of the edits I'm making/comments I'm leaving, and then come in and peer over my shoulder and try and work in it at the same time?

One of the worst things about the death of Budget Purdah is the way it's created an absolute torrent of speculative bullshit churned out by every shitposter from Land's End to John O'Groats.

Given that Trump is threatening to sue the Beeb for billions of dollars over the dodgy edit that didn't defame him, I'm not surprised they're a wee bit twitchy over this. It might well be true, and defensible in a libel action as such, but their appetite for another fight with him will be zero.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

this is one of those excellent pieces where the author lets his subject damn himself out of his own mouth. Well worth a read.
