Records you discovered through Mark and Lard's late-night Radio 1 show. Whether they went on to bother the top ten or you're still convinced that only you bought them, let's sing their praises here. Anyone else got the Harvey's Rabbit single??

Can’t believe Disney have pulled all their money out of Tim Davie.
Here’s hoping they go back to a Director General with smaller scale stories, set mainly in Broadcasting House, and bring back some classic old baddies, like the National Viewers And Listeners Association.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I think organisations should take unsolicited, murkily-funded 'reports' from people who used to work for a rival that has made your destruction a life's mission a little more sceptically.

The impossible dream some people on the British right are chasing is that you can have a BBC News operation that retreats from detail and expertise, that takes dictation from the government, but this will only create incompetence and failure when it suits you:
To fix the BBC, focus on competence and cash
Corporation fails to learn from criticism, while politicians have consciously reduced its scope for quality journalism
