This can’t be repaired for the same reason why nothing in British politics and media can ever be fixed: the people responsible are not going to censure and fire themselves and each other. Which is the only way that any of it can ever be made better, by removing the people who made it like this.

Again: all of this is elite radicalisation and none of it is organically arising from the public. It is MPs and the press flame-grilling their own brains on social media, then inflicting their poisonous spiteful idiocy upon everyone.

We - the British press - have absolutely fucked it and turned politics into daily breaking news from the cludgie Gestapo, because we were all very angry about being disrespected and not getting our way. This is sad but apparently it’s nobody’s fault.

Absolutely ridiculous that you felt you had to resign when so many nasty, twisted people flourish at a much higher level in the BBC.
