If only Brian Redhead was still alive. Actually, that would be so fantastically improbable that it would be worth asking "Hey Mr Redhead, how come you still live among us". But seriously, I think he was the last of the generation that saw the government mandated BBC as a counterpoint to government thinking. In the end, it's the not-accountable-to-the-licence-payer structure of the BBC that is at fault. That structure needs smashing and replaced with one accountable to the people who pay for it - I've even heard some people say the BBC is value at twice the price, well I say they can voluntarily pay double for twice the say. So long as the licence payer elects the board and they are not selected by a government minister, and the board decides the amount of the fee and the scope of what the BBC does.
90% of what Vegans consume is "ultra-processed", to the extent the phrase has any meaning - what is bread or beer if not 'processed'? Must we live on raw fruit and seeds (with the occasional dead insect as a special treat)?
30-40 years ago The Today Programme at breakfast and The World Tonight at bedtime were staple listening. Those days are long long gone. The impact of the piece you describe would have more bad effect on my blood pressure than any harm from consuming cereal.
Well put Chris. Van TikTok is another example of how doctors or medically qualified people have married it with their “lived experience” and monetised the hell out of it. Van T , Mosley, Raj all of them having potshots at something they seemingly can’t enjoy without having a crisis, which surprise, surprise leads to a book deal, and ring ring the TV work, roadshows etc. in reality the clown put on a tiny belly by eating a few burgers and not exercising, exactly like the Supersize Me eejit. The plain truth is a lot of doctors are not that bright just people who are good at passing exams, and the exam you must pass these days is the Public Health Panic Tripo. .

Delighted to say that I had Brunch in 'Paul's' at Limassol Marina this week... The place was excellent and packed.
Jamie Oliver's restaurant next door was completely empty!
