You couldn't make it up dept. no.96: a footnote to the Nick Griffin/ Question Time affair
My friends may remember that the BBC's CEO Mark Thompson responded to demands that the repulsive Nick Griffin be excluded from the program Question Time with the following memorable remark: "It is not the BBC's job to exclude people from broadcasts. The government has to do that."
It now turns out that, at the height of the political storm that followed, Director Thompson has absented himself from his post to go on a 425-pounds-a-day survival course for war journalists.
Truly, You Couldn't Make It Up.
