I am not convinced that the BBC did very much wrong regarding Scott Mills. No matter how boring the BBC’s seemingly endless retinue of mediocre gay exhibitionists, a man is surely innocent until proven guilty. It may even be that the Corporation treated the bloke unfairly by sacking him, unless they know something that we don’t. Whatever, his departure has affected me less keenly than, for example, the Thailand-Cambodia border dispute or a meteor landing on some exoplanet in the Oort Cloud.
What bothers me now and has bothered me for about 30 years is the relentless political bias. If you want the perfect example of this tune into virtually any Radio Four drama. It will almost certainly a) be awful b) concern non-white people being transgressed somehow by whitey. It will without question be of a left-liberal disposition. It will almost certainly be very badly written.
The last one I caught was a mithering bourgeois idiocy called 400 Strangers, which was about a hotel for asylum seekers in the Midlands. Go on, guess who the good guys were. Guess who the bad guys were. Yes, you’ve got it. Every day, the same ol’ same ol’. It has become utterly unlistenable.
