AA Gill wrote some excellent commentary in this week’s Sunday Times on the Ross/Brand affair and why they should stay at the BBC.
On his motives he writes:
if you think I’m only writing this because I’m part of the cosy, metropolitan, liberal, intellectual elite, well, of course I am. What else would I be? Who else do you think works in the media? What do you want? Your papers and TV made by provincial, draconian, philistine nonentities?
If you haven’t heard of the Ross/Brand scandal; never mind and consider yourself lucky.
