I’m sure I should have reacted in the same way as Mr Angry, which is why I never fly.

That is worthy of a cheer in itself. However, it is worth reading through the guidelines to see exactly what they say. (See…

Thought for the Day
The BBC Trust has been discussing Thought for the Day, the slot which appears in the middle of BBC Radio 4’s morning news programme Today. The point at hand is over whether atheists and humanists should have access to the slot. The thing that has struck me about this debate is how old it all…
