No news is...

Is there no end to my ignorance?

You don't need to understand the news. You are not meant to. It is merely one of a few ways to fill space and generate ratings, especially if you work for the BBC, as that is how you can get measured accurately enough to bail for the even bigger money.

I have a complaint in process at present for them taking a solicited comment, deleting the beginning and ending and re-presenting the middle chunk to say the total opposite of what I meant, to suit their agenda.

They will of course have a 'thorough review' and in two weeks I'll be told they care a lot so now be a good boy and buzz off.

This time, I think I may not be so inclined to do so.
