I have just read a report, which if true, leaves me in despair with people in authority in the country. News at Ten is to abandon Big Ben as its introduction to the 10 o’clock News.
Apparently it is too “London-centric”. The use of this phrase makes my blood boil. In case the advocates hadn’t noticed, London is the capital city of this country and logically the centre of national broadcasting. It is exactly the same nonsense as the £1 billion pounds we are all paying for BBC’s pointless move of half its operations to Manchester.
I have lived in the regions all my life, so have no axe to grind.
