I see Jeremy Paxman is retiring from University Challenge due to ill health. I wonder who from the diversity brigade will replace him. I am not expecting it to be pale male and stale. One more point

I agree with you on the Queen's English and Alex Scott - winds me up something rotten! I rarely watch football focus now but the other day it was three women and one man. Soon it will be all women whose views on men's football rarely match my own.

In last night’s Eastenders episode: 2 black brothers are giving out their food in the marketplace when the market inspector approaches. One brother says to the other ‘here comes an angry white man!’. I wasn’t in the slightest offended but was just left wondering what if it had been other way round and the inspector had said ‘there’s two annoyed black men!’.

She has left the BBC for a station that encourages its presenters to shares their views on everything so is now free to have an opinion on whatever. Well if she wants the BBC to have the same freedom then the answer is simple abolish the licence fee. One more point
