I must stop listening to the Today programme as it does not seem to have improved one iota. After the Jackson interviews Sue MacGregor interviewed Mark Thompson, the BBC's DG, about expenses at the Beeb. She grilled him and she attacked him and all over very little. Apparently he claimed 23p for parking. His driver also claimed for the congestion charge.
Well, whooooo, call in the Fraud Squad.
Now it is clear the BBC is not thriving at the moment and I'd like to ask the management some hard-hitting questions, primarily about the potty obsession with text messaging, feedback and generally allowing inane viewers to spoil perfectly decent programmes (I can say this as I am one of them) but the expenses for senior directors of this huge corporation are not exactly criminal. I don't supose any of us want to see these expenses and flowers for the idiotic Jonathan Ross are beyond the pale but as a percentage of the BBC's outlay this is small beer.
Far more important would be for an inquiry into whether Ross is worth £6m a year to spout bollocks and perv over any woman under 90 on primetime TV. Now that's a waste of money. Perhaps if Mark Thompson retired Ross to talk radio he could look McGhastly straight in the eye and tell her to stick her pointless Today interview values where they belong and leave him to try to rescue the floundering BBC.
And another thing: Fern Cotton. No. Just no. Far more important to send her to work in Top Shop than to worry about buying cakes on expenses. You'd save a lot more and the national rejoicing would last for days.
What are your thoughts on that? Text me on 84756 or you can visit the website at www.mindlessravings.com/what-is-the-point-of-all-this-electronic-hot-air?/bugger-all. Now its over to Fern Cotton to generally annoy everyone on planet Earth.
