Good news for Today programme (Justin will appreciate the company!).
I wonder if India W will apply for the WH position?

My OH knows how annoyed I felt at EBs constant haranguing of the police and her daily obsession with the subject of misogyny.
The tragic murder of Sarah Everard by a psychopath was bought up constantly and it began to look as if Emma had personal issues with the police which was why I started thinking and researching her background about how she progressed to being a BBC presenter.
I was wondering why Lucy Letby another example of someone in a position of power and a psychopath was hardly mentioned on the programme compared to Wayne Cousins.
When I discovered that her parents ran these brothels of trafficked women in Manchester and were eventually put in prison it was clear nobody could not be influenced by growing up in such an unusual situation.
My OH feels that she should not be hiding this clear influence on her views. When it was all in the news some years ago, it was said that nobody should suffer from the sins of their parents which is true but it must create a bias.
There were question marks over her knowledge of where the family wealth came from due to emails referring to these women as whores.
I am personally very glad that EB is no longer espousing her views on some issues in WH and I hope that Today will prove a better environment where less of what I perceive as her lack of impartiality regarding women's matters will be as so empowered.
In her final programme speaking of her success of a recent IVF pregnancy was the ultimate in lack of compassion for all those women listening who cannot afford several privately funded IVF attempts to have another baby as she could.

Do you think so?
She will be on with others and rather more diluted than just about women's issues. It will be more general news.
BoreofBabylon seems to think Thought for the Day is political.It always seems to be a comment concerning religious views and the least interesting part of the programme.
