Turn The Arch
‘The Archers’ without the Archers won’t be ‘The Archers’
The BBC has lost its way; it’s plain and it’s as simple as that. Radio 4 is an institution and The Archers – which has been on the air since 1951 – was frankly something so essential to its very essence that what they’ve done in even suggesting that the Archer family depart for Northumberland is nothing other than sacrilege.

Branson’s pickle
Richard Branson’s time is up
Sir Richard Branson is a man who loves himself more than he loves life itself. He is a man who cannot control his own pathetic ego. His project to take people into space has backfired spectacularly and now he bleats like an abused child and rants like the fantasist that he truly is. (more…)

Apathy and jam
Were Thursday’s by-elections really such groundbreaking results for UKIP?
In Clacton yesterday, the turnout was just 51% and at Heywood and Middleton it was a paltry 36%. Despite these figures being higher than the usual 30% turnout for by-elections, neither is illustrative of any kind of strong feeling for politics in England. Apathy, in fact, was once again the true winner of the day and the playing field of politics remains as open as before. (more…)

Social misdemeanour
Matthew Steeples suggests that the death of Brenda Leyland should be a lesson to the media
Brenda Leyland, if she was indeed the source of the “online campaign of vitriol” against Gerry and Kate McCann, should not have acted as she did but equally, Sky News should not have outed her so publicly last week. With revelations that Mrs Leyland has been found dead at the Leicester Marriott Hotel, the resulting consequences are very clear. (more…)
