No one is obliged to rush to the aid of the BBC, and certainly I think a lot of its defenders should be more sympathetic to why a lot of people won’t spare the energy to do so, but there’s no timeline in which its absence doesn’t result in this country’s information environment getting even worse.

The whole Bond thing, where the writer is all "boohoo how do I follow up Bond being dead boohoo" is so funny to me. The Bond franchise's whole thing is they hire a new Bond and everyone goes "oh that's the new bond then alright."
You can simply do that! It's okay!

This isn’t a scene from Mad Max: Furiosa - it’s more like Mad Maxim: Alcohosa, featuring Russian assault troops in Pokrovsk rolling in on hacked-up motorcycles and jery-rigged civilian trucks
