Oh great, so now Tories are listening to Radio 4. Just go ahead and spoil my last respite!  |

Really? Maybe it's just a Greenie thing but Radio 4 has always seemed quite liberal-leftie to me. On the other hand, I listen in the evenings, not the afternoons. |

I've always been a great fan of the ever-lovely Samantha, but I strongly suspect that Colin Serle is purely imaginary.

Ed Stourton and the 'From Our Own Correspondent' folk always seem like Hampstead liberals.
I avoid anything with Libby Purves though.

Is that "liberal" in the pejorative sense?
As in informed, rational, balanced and objective.
The alternative being what? Say Sky News Press Preview with ranting reactionaries called Tim from the Telegraph, anxiously spreading as much visceral bile as possible about the left and as much sychophantic distortion about Cameron as can be fabricated?

I mean it pejoratively, yes. Were I saying that someone was informed, rational, balanced and objective, I would not be using that descriptor. I should have said that Stourton strikes me as a Guardianista rather than 'Hampstead liberal' given how close the good folk of Hampstead came to electing a Conservative MP- I certainly use 'Guardianista' as a pejorative term.
Even though I read the Guardian.
I've never seen Sky News Press Review but it sounds like a bit of a laugh. I'll look out for it.

Just looking at his photograph makes me shudder- he looks like a real chinless wonder who spends his time at a tennis club. On the rare occasions when I glance at the column I wonder whether any of the people written about- very few of whom I have heard of- inhabit the same planet as the rest of us.

Tunbridge Wells results compared with 2006 election: LD gain from C Benenden and Cranbrook St John's Grey wards not up for election this year.  Cartogram (showing each ward as equal in area):

I think TW reminds me of a Sea Horse while the proportional map is more of a fish!
