Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 8hDid Baroness Harding just say that if we're not allowed to keep everything we own then we won't have anything to share? #bbcaq 110
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Can any producers at #newsnight tell me the last time that GB News invited a BBC journalist on to one of their programmes? Or is this more of a one-way type of arrangement? 2158
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Fascinated by Matt Brittin’s strategy of delighting his customers by repeatedly punching them in the facebbc.co.ukBBC to cut raft of Radio 4 programmes including You and YoursThe corporation said it would be investing in a new consumer programme, while announcing more cuts. 021
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Fully support #BroadcastingHouse doing its bit for the rehabilitation of offenders but please don’t invite Archer on to the programme again 110
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Really enjoyed that new commission from Samy Moussa 'Dithyramb' on Last Night of the Proms just now 110
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Poor management by #newsnight producers, on an anniversary that required a certain gravitas, to schedule a presenter so wholly unable to provide it 021
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 06/09/2026BBC continues to push their editorial line that Farage is the real victim here on #broadcastinghouse this morning 000

Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 04/09/2026How long exactly has Laila been Reform's candidate for London Mayor? It feels like somewhere between 7 and 10 years #newsnight 070
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Absolutely hilarious. Even whilst BBC channels are furiously minimising the significance of the Verbatim/C4 reporting Reform actually suspend the individuals most closely involved #r4today 080
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Appointing as Chair Osborne, a man who did so much willful damage to culture as Chancellor, showed that the British Museum was now an institution that valued money and courting the wealthy above everything else - so this seems a logical conclusion. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...theguardian.comBritish Museum hosted Palantir founder Peter Thiel in private viewing of Bayeux tapestryConcern among staff that fragile artwork’s scarce ‘light hours’ given to someone with no known interest in museum 000
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Hi #BBCNews when did ‘private citizen makes travel plans’ count as absolutely anything you consider noteworthy? 100
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I still don't understand why the BBC chose to debase a respected news and current affairs commentary programme but tonight's #Newsnight has reached the fullest realisation of the project 290
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 13/08/2026You wait an age for the BBC to commission new programming on the visual arts and it turns out that it's just another show about money #TheBigDeal 000
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Having watched the extended #newsnight interview with Hunter Biden the obvious, albeit slightly parochial, question is, what possible relevance did it have for the average licence fee payer? 110
Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Grimly hilarious to hear Clegg whinging about 'moral superiority on #newsnight. It's hardly difficult to feel morally superior to someone who enabled a cruel regime of austerity before fucking off to take millions from Meta 030

Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Still furious at that nauseatingly sycophantic interview with Musk’s ‘friend’ on #r4today earlier. 190

Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Obviously I'd much prefer BBC Four to return to original programme making but, as repeats go, this does feel very appropriate (sadly). 131

Alistair Caird @alistaircaird.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Interesting choice by #newsnight producers to allow Matt Chorley to park his clown car in the studio only days after his incompetence gave Farage yet another penalty kick against the BBC 221
