I'd never heard this Gowrie story before.

I bet a few people at the World Service were gulping at Dowden there. They might as well go and work for Russia Today.

Indeed, Dowden’s seemingly benign goals are carried out superbly by the World Service. So what is it he wants?

Gowrie didn’t remotely come across as a coke head. And there’s a fair few who do. Interviewed a minister in the Major government, eyes like saucers gabbing 12 to the dozen and it was only 10am.

Obscured by the Cummings show, some good news: Dacre isn’t getting his claws into Ofcom

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Rejoice!

TF4T.

I think you may be missing the point.

Original panel rules out Dacre.
Panel is being re-run.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Also - the two 'American Corporations' are directly affected (they are Facebook and Google) because this chair of Ofcom will have regulatory powers over them, and like the BBC, Dacre has made statements which show him to be far from an impartial figure where they are concerned.

Interesting to see the rôle of Nick Clegg in this...

[Boiler]

Sure they won't just pick a Dacre-friendly panel for the re-run? After all, aren't American corporations telling us how to run our country a bad thing? Mind you, we have News Corp and sundry others doing that already.

Apparently 27 year old Tory MP for Bishop Auckland Dehenna Davison had a "Barnard Castle Eye Chart" poster on her background wall whilst asking a question at the Cummings hearing

She's usually one of the tame back benchers at PMQs.

It's all a laff innit? Winding up the lefties.

[Youngian]

Don’t know Davison but see her name frequently on the list of the most brain dead MPs.

I do take no small pleasure in feeling infinitely more of a decent human being than a '27 year-old Tory with meme poster'.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

That's the 'ultra-courteous' Michael Gove, innit? On display like a turd on a dinner plate.

But what did we expect? Facebook and Google will go ballistic, this is a big mistake.

[Watchman]

Don’t you just want to punch Gove smug little face

[Malcolm Armsteen]

He's looking a bit puffy, bloated like.

And as Mrs A observed, as ugly as fuck.

[Bones McCoy]

I'd like to cut his stash with anthrax.

Did I not say this would happen?

The trouble with socialists is that if hey don't get the result they want, they vote and vote again.

Or some shit I see frequently on twitter.
