    This Guardian headline is curious

    What is the insinuation? That white male Tory voters should, by default, not be included in conversations about diversity? I'm confused.

    Well yes, it's rather more than an insinuation, isn't it? The rage is clear to see. The odd thing is that, if it is true that "the BBC’s diversity and inclusion group, ....has the task of ensuring the broadcaster is representative of modern Britain" then clearly it needs to contain a "Conservative-voting white male" since modern Britain has loads of the buggers.

    The fact that a member of the country's overwhelming predominant race who votes for the most popular single political party is treated by the BBC as some sort of fringe voice pretty much sums up the problem, I'd have thought.

    Yes, basically. They've had their turn and it's time to let somebody, anybody else have a go.

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Is there an intimation in there that she sports a pair of clockweights, or did I imagine that?

    Surely part of this whole thing should have involved everyone having a good shufti at her downstairs mix-up?

    Is that not your first port of call in these matters?
