This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.

"Dear Sir, Your good name has been bought to my attention as a trustworthy man and a believer in God. I am the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My mother left me forty-five million pounds and the city of York but I am unable ..."

Tonight’s broadcast of The Abergele Files made me smile and be proud and happy to hear it again.

For 61 years the #BBCWorldService has been broadcasting the latest in science via its weekly Science in Action programme. That dies in the next half hour, with this final edition, reflecting on the fall in trust in expertise driven by malign interests over recent years.

it’s the time of year again!

BBC Radio 3 - Sound of Cinema, A place for ideas Matthew Sweet's weekly look at music for the screen.

It's my last BBC Radio 3 Sound of Cinema tomorrow, and I will be saying a proper goodbye. So tomorrow's show is an argument for the intellectual depth and richness of the film music, and how it should never be treated like wallpaper. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Four men arrested over projecting a factual slide show onto Windsor Castle before Trump visit have case dropped by police bit.ly/4nCtpON of course they do. These were always intimidatory arrests where no offence had been committed.

ah man, i loved making this show. everyone knocked it out of the park.

I have the most pointless job on earth where it contributes nothing to society. I write best practice docs that no-one reads, but we must have them in case we get audited. I wrote a best practice seven yrs ago that contained lyrics from Ice Ice Baby & still no-one has noticed.

The firm threatened whistleblowers, journalists, regulators, and even the police.

Carter-Ruck's work helped the fraud continue as long as it did.

Was that a crime?

I have grave news; enshittification has come for Club biscuits.
