They just said the word bullshit live, as it were, on air.

For British media, that’s like, pretty unheard of it isn’t it? The Economist always has had balls though I suppose, and exists in its own special space where it can say what the hell it likes I guess. And of course this is a casual blog and not the magazine.

And can I just say this is the first time I’ve ever seen what Mr Morton looks like. The man’s voice actually sounds like Professor Fink – the Simpsons go to science nerd. He’s clearly a towering intellect, like all the chaps there it seems. And the one lady who gets air time, Fiammetta Rocco. Right, end of rant.
