Take that

Given that it's now regularly the most-watched slot on BBC1, you'd think the regional news shows at 6.30pm would get a bit of protection from the latest round of cuts. 

Not so, if  I've go this right. Each BBC region will reduce its current range of specialist correspondents by 1/3 with the gap to be filled by  "two dedicated multi-platform correspondents" (a current favoured management trick - 'specialist generalists'.)  

Specialist regional correspondents got a huge boost in numbers from around 1990, as Ron Neil rolled out the Birtian edict that the BBC must have its own experts in many areas of journalism traditionally left to large newspapers.  In the regions, there were suddenly "Home Affairs Correspondents", "Business, Industry and Transport Correspondents", "Health Correspondents", "Enviroment Correspondents", "Education Correspondents" and massively increased numbers of "Political Correspondents". 

This is not the first reversal on this front, and there's a lack of consistency around the English regions, but the process of reduction will be bloody.

  1. I recommend this highly reputable Recovery company, Boleyn Magic Hackers, to anyone in need of recovering lost money in the form of Crypto lost to online fraudsters, wallet hackers, or BTC sent to incorrect addresses. After just submitting my case to Boleyn Magic Hackers and providing the required information, they did an amazing job of aiding me in getting my money back. I’m relieved that I was able to make this much of a recovery after losing even more to the fictitious broker I first trusted and invested with. We can never be diligent enough because mistakes are inevitable. Anyone who has fallen victim to losing funds to Crypto Scams, I persuade you to contact
