Who else could have dealt with this little lady, such aplomb.

Viewing figures for ITV news are declining, Tom Bradby is too informal so always switch off/over.

Re: Alistair Stewart

Hi

I find this totally wrong.

A correct response to an idiot.

I despair of the way we are going.

Re: Alistair Stewart

Andrew Neil thinks ITV bosses wanted rid of him.

https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/30/andre...rant-12152747/

‘Alastair Stewart – very smart, kindly, professional, impartial, knowledgeable, fun, trained by the best (Alastair Burnet),’ the former This Week host vented. ‘Now the only person to be fired for quoting Shakespeare accurately. The only explanation can be the ITN suits wanted him out – and seized their chance.’
Probably, the truth.

Re: Alistair Stewart

Wonder what those snowflakes will make of this from our bard:

“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or, like the snow-fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever.”

The obvious lesson from this farago is, stay the hell away from Twitter, or as I call it "Twatter", populated by the easily offended, and those seeking to stir the you know what!

Indeed.

Great opportunity for any rival news channel, a real feather in their cap. Mark Austin quit after after being sidelined by telegenic Tom Bradby and went to Sky. Is this ageism against male newsreaders when their face doesn't fit?

I agree John. There must be an army of easily offended idiots making it their business to trawl through the tweets looking for things to complain about.
