Wackford's farewell

Sir Michael Lyons' valedictory address as BBC Chairman, to the Gaddafi-backed LSE, is out in print.  His sensitivities were clearly outraged by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand.

I’ve sometimes wondered if any BBC scriptwriter would ever have had the nerve to invent Ross-Brand, with its uniquely toxic combination of profanity, misogyny, bullying and black farce. Ross-Brand exposed an unforgivably cavalier attitude to editorial standards in some parts of the BBC, and seemed, for some, to suggest that the BBC had lost its moral compass. Those serious failings have now been addressed of course and although there may have been doubts about some of the medicine it seems to have worked.

One bit of the medicine is described by the Chairman as the "School Of Journalism".  I think he means the College of Journalism.  Or Dotheboys Hall.  Or both.
