May as well start doing what I'll do a lot: link to articles that impress me. The world's full of rubbish, but some things are less rubbishy than others. Melanie Phillips I like, and here's a diary entry of hers which lays into the BBC. As a British person I have grown up with the Beeb, and that breeds a special kind of loathing. Anyway, take it away Mel, and may someone show up on your records as having linked to you from 'Talking Hoarsely'.
