You’re free to ramble on about Self, Campbell and various other people I haven’t mentioned - my original post was about Michael Prescott. He was supposed to be acting as an independent arbiter of the BBC’s editorial standards, but was in fact guilty of the very same sloppiness that ended up with...

Oh dear You sound quite triggered

How would you describe it?

Must admit I had my doubts that this midfield three would be robust enough defensively but from what we saw at the start of the season it was more or less fine. I suppose it doesn’t matter too much if Torp scores a banger every other week.

Look I get it, ho ho ho, actually he can’t resign because technically he already did etc etc The point I was making is that while hidden edits of quotes at Panorama and Newsnight has you hopping up and down about a credibility crisis, examples of other journalists doing the same thing (if not...

Just straight up given up on actually engaging with posts these days. Basildon incoming!

You seem like you’re out of ideas

I’m sure the calls for Mail leadership to resign over this serious failure of editorial standards will begin any moment now

MTG has as much chance of a presidential run as Mamdani, and he’s from Uganda.

Having spent days demanding that heads roll at the BBC for using quotes the wrong way, the Mail has decided to just make them up instead

The proto-Hudlin

There is no benefit whatsoever to moving him on and we're not going to sign a PL-ready centre-back in January. He's not as good as our current starters, and he's not getting regular football - good! This is how squads are supposed to work!

Heard that his cousin was pretty good too

Apparently it’s a huge scandal when the BBC edits Trump’s speeches without disclosing it, but when an independent (lol) adviser does the same thing in a memo used to undermine the BBC’s credibility then it’s no big deal because he already left in June.

I was gonna say, by the standards of your average L1 calibre player it’s probably been a pretty interesting and lucrative career.

Goes to show that players and managers don’t care about this kind of stuff anything like as much as the fans do.

My mistake - it turns out he’s actually French.

His role as an independent adviser to the BBC is surely untenable? I assume you think an apology would be merited at the very least.

Did you read the article? Or the memo itself? He selectively edited Donald Trump’s January 6 speech without disclosing it to the viewer in order to alter its meaning. This is apparently a resigning issue - he must go.

In which case I have some bad news about the Prescott memo https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-exclusive-the-error-at-the-heart-of-trumps-bbc-attack/
