4.25pm and I was on my own, so it was a good chance to listen to the
radio as I worked.

I caught the end of Open Book, but then at 4.30 it was Africa's Digital
Poets. This was essentially a sermon about white oppression in S Africa.
It's odd how often it happens that when you put Radio Four on it's
something like this. Sort of virtuous, concerned with race, and very boring.

I endured it for the sake of what might be on next. This turned out to
be a programme concerned with foreign domestic workers in the UK. On
several occasions the commentary attacked Teresa May. It was an
interesting programme but the repeated comments about Mrs May were
unneccessary.

Next was 'Profile' and the subject was Glenda Jackson. This programme
told us what a splendid person Glenda was for her Labour Party
activities, and contained a vicious attack on Margaret Thatcher.

You know, I just get so sick and tired of the relentless chipping away
with this leftist stuff. It wouldn't matter if they had a neutral
programme on reasonably often, but they don't. There's always some sort
of 'agenda' in every programme where such a thing is even remotely possible.

The other morning the presenter on Today called Trump a racist,
narcissistic thug. Fair comment you might or might not think but there
is never any balancing criticism of Mrs Clinton.
