Unicorns fart glitter.
In other words, thick as mince-right wing-Nadine has been persuaded to bring her hatchet job forward to distract from party boy Boris.
The dominatrix’s gimp and Facebook friend of the Murdoch’s had a good go at taking down the BBC before. It looks like these crooks are intent on taking the silverware out the door with them on the way down.First Leveson 2, now he thinks the subscription model is good for the BBC

And that’s Newsnight.
Sure it’ll be no loss then, if it matters so little to the public conversation.If I was going to influence the Electorate, my first choice would not be at 23:15 over the end credits of a programme that less than 1% of the population watches (probably less with many switching off before the credits roll) of which most probably have a pretty definite view on politics unlikely to be swayed by such things.
Yup, this is a dead cat.Operation Save Big Dog takes a s*** on the BBC and Nadine isn’t in a hurry to bag it.
Thatcher used to moan about the BBC a lot. In fact it felt like at times as if the BBC was the only organisation holding her Government to account during the 80s. The tone of the recent attacks on the BBC from Dorrines etc appear to come from the same place so they must be continuing to do something right.
The BBC News website is quite decent though, as long as you ignore the comment pieces.

I think for me the relevant point is that the BBC thought to broadcast that clip at all, when the person featured in it was Leader of the Opposition. It's the sort of meme that does the rounds on social media, but why the BBC thought it newsworthy so as to actually broadcast it on their flagship politics programme is the interesting question.Do you think that episode of Newsnight, and in particular Jeremy Corbyn as a Voldemort, was an enduring topic of conversation beyond those who watched it that night? Probably not. I mean, f**k my tall hat, it's only taken 6 years to come to light, even here in PFM and on Twitter. Not really burnt into anyone's psyche, that one, not like the 'hat' picture.
It all builds a narrative I'm sure but ISTM that, too much influence is being credited to a (relatively) minor interest TV programme and just adds further support to justify efforts to neuter a national broadcaster.
