First of all the Conservative leader David Cameron said he’d meddle with the license fee. Then Ben Bradshaw, from the Dept for Culture, Media and Sport said the BBC should be scaled back. James Murdoch, who wants to protect his father’s Sky empire, wanted to scale back the BBC website. Now Lorraine Hegessey, from Talkback [...] James Murdoch had a lot of press lately after his lecture in Edinburgh. Apparently he turned down requests to speak at previous Edinburgh Festivals, but today the time is right for him to lambast the UK. He doesn’t like the BBC, he doesn’t like Ofcom, and he doesn’t like Channel 4. Murdoch wants to get [...] I watched about 40 minutes, before deciding to google the Duchess of York. Whatever you do, do it effectively. If you know you’re going to get a lot of internet traffic, don’t let your internet presence let you down. Others count on it. For no apparent reason.

I even asked a policeman why this happens -“it just does”, he agreed. I’d always thought of police using sirens to get through traffic for their tea break as an urban myth.
