So yesterday...

I went to Banksy’s pop-up shop in Croydon:

Today I read about Trump’s public nervous breakdowns over various problems:

Er... I’m not sure the Don’s physical and mental health will actually take impeachment proceedings. This could get embarrassing.

More on the Beeb...

A week or so ago I mentioned the nativist clique in the BBC; and how every now and then it rears it’s ugly head:

Well, it seems some folk in the Beeb have had enough:

And folk who have been obviously biased will no doubt now be identified. Or, alternatively, it has thrown up a set of grey areas where folk may or may not be free to express personal opinions. But the original restriction never prevented John Humphrys on the Today programme on Radio4; it’s about how you frame the questions, obviously.

Racism is racism wherever it happens to find a nest to breed its hatchlings. Even in the hallowed Beeb. Transparency means we can measure things by many of the various metrics available; in the end it’s all about information and information processing.

Oh well.
