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?

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

I am so looking forward to the @gibraltarliteraryfestival in a couple of weeks with @janice.hallett and @tom.hindle and many others.
Plus, who hasn't wanted to be a Christmas decoration, right?

While populist govts & media churn out slogans that reinforce & stoke people's prejudices, these papers that -by their own account- reach 25m households & 50m readers, provide valuable, informative journalism.
They fly under everyone's radar, so I thought I'd highlight this great effort today.

London hotels are so expensive tonight, it's cheaper to book a last minute Eurostar to Paris, get a train from there, pick the car up and drive home. Perfect.

Obligatory back to school photo. Back to the UK to host an awards ceremony and record my Jeeves and Wooster short story for the new Wodehouse anthology. Driving too because we've run out of mini cheddars.

Wracked as I am today with arthritic pain, I seek solace in vanity.
Here are some lovely reviews from the US for Death & Boules.
