This is an extraordinarily shocking threat made by a comedian to kill a female colleague, and has had remarkably little response

Yet another example of how Twitter has Americanised the British public sphere - why is the Primate of All England commenting on a shitpost by a congressman in Kentucky?
This weekend many of us were sickened to see a Christmas photo of a family posing with guns.

It has nothing to do with the US gun rights debate.

Ah yes the sage and neutral BBC, who removed the word “Jews” from Richard Dimbleby’s first Bergen Belsen radio broadcast, so as not to seem biased or offend anyone
In September 1939, when Britain’s very survival was at stake, the BBC issued rules to its staff how to broadcast about the coming war. You must be frank and honest, it said — and above all there must be no room for ranting. Wise words, entirely applicable today.
