An outrage in a world of outrages

I refer, of course, to 'Gentleman' Ed Stourton's sacking from the Today programme, for no apparent reason, and in a deeply unprofessional way.

You're wondering, of course, how to express your quivering indignation. The young people tell me that there is a Facebook petition, which FB cognoscenti may sign. For the more mature blog reader, we have the Telegraph's online petition here.

I tell you, if Greece-style protests spread to our shores, it will be over this. The Today editor does not know what righteous fury he has unleashed.

They should have got rid of Humphrys instead.

Crazy talk, kg-b, crazy talk. If I want to hear a Minister skewered on the radio in the morning, as I often do, Humphreys will perform. I think they ought to sack Montague and bring Brain Redhead back from the dead.
