"Funnily enough Andy [Wigmore], the only time I ever experienced political interference in one of my investigations at the BBC, was when I was investigating you and Arron Banks
Your mate Robbie Gibb put a stop to a story we were running."

Thanks for the link. Like you, I would *love * to wave a magic wand (though in my case it's purely selfish, also gluten so not as serious.) Can't imagine trying to negotiate life as a mother whose kids have an allergy.

And that’s partly thanks to the wilful, gloating ignorance Sitwell and his audience, who revel in their luck of having had an easier ride.
They would never speak like this about a family whose child has cancer.

Agree on both counts: JC is, apart from anything else, more human than the rest of the Tory front bench.
Re Other cultures: Agreed, I hesitated before posting. It's the rhythm of BC. )Someone mashed up Bercow calling BC with Under Pressure.) I don't see it as mockery. But perhaps I'm being unfair.

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.

These are all excellent. I'm sorry Bambos Charalambous is no longer a front bencher, hence called less often by the speaker.
