Lèse Majesté

In the UK, my comments earlier this month about the BBC preferring to promise structural reforms and issue ample apologies instead of sacking people were invalidated by the resignation of BBC 1 director Peter Fincham, following a report by former deputy Director-General Will Wyatt.

In Italy, Clemente Mastella threatens to vote no-confidence in Rai’s board after Michele Santoro’s Annozero gave too much space over to judges defending one of their number, leaving only “poor Scotti” (Luigi Scotti, Mastella’s deputy - and his choice of phrase). Judging that open season on Rai has begun, Storace’s Destra - a partitino if ever there was one - has decided to bring Rai to court for ignoring them.
