Abusing Auntie.

Here’s an example of modern BBC English spewed onto the BBC website:

‘Farage said of one unnamed critic, whom he did not name…’

Terrible, isn’t it? And now the new, unchained Tory administration is threatening to screw up good old Auntie Beeb even more. Apparently they’re miffed at the Beeb’s election coverage and want revenge. That’s Tories for you.

I signed the Avaaz petition, the one that said:

‘Keep your filthy Tory paws off our BBC. Auntie Beeb is a much loved and highly respected British institution - which is more than can be said of you - and you touch her at your peril. Stick to getting stoned and chasing the wenches around Baskerville Hall, and we hope the hound picks up your ungodly scent.’

At least, that’s what it should have said.
