- Comment on BBC could soon make programmes for release first on YouTube under deal 2 days ago:
It was frozen for many years (totally not revenge by the government for Hutton), and hasn’t risen enough since being unfrozen. Meanwhile, their burden has increased as now S4C, local democracy reporters at local newspapers, and most of the World Service are funded from the licence fee.
There was a move to increase earnings, so BBC Studios was merged with the commercial Worldwide subsidiary and for the first time was permitted to seek commissions outside the BBC, producing for commercial channels.
The Doctor Who thing is more individual. It was a deal signed when streamers were flashing a lot of cash around, and BBC Studios was able to leverage Bluey’s massive popularity to get a major investment in Doctor Who.
But streaming tie-ups aren’t new - see Ripper Street and The Last Kingdom last decade, and they themselves are just continuations of the co-production arrangements that have been important to British production for decades.

At the time Bono was bitching about how the Irish Government wasn’t spending enough on foreign aid, while the band had just bought a skyscraper in Dublin and had offshored their business affairs so they no longer paid tax in Ireland.

- Comment on UK government should end rail outsourcing ‘racket’, says union 1 week ago:
Realistically it’d be swapping one racket for another. Back in BR days it wasn’t unheard of for a depot to send an empty train out to a siding to wait several hours and come back just to give 3 extra union men a full shift.

Bunker fires were very common and it didn’t in any way compromise the structure. If anything it kept the ship afloat and uprignt longer by necessitating the use of coal from the starboard first, resulting in a port list.

His conduct issues have been an open secret in media circles for years. His publisher banned women from meeting him at his home alone, for example. But now it’s a perfect storm, as he was blacklisted by the BBC in June for his actions during the recording of the Would I Lie To You? christmas special, and his publisher has just dropped him following an internal investigation into his conduct.
