Caitlin Moran is unbearable.

Because Jenny Murray is 70, and its time for someone younger. Jane Garvey is 56. It needs mixing up a bit. Jenny murray was too fixed in her views IMO. I was turning off when she came on. Im surprised anyone listens to her if they are under 55. Wee Queenie- you should apply?

Everyone in broadcasting is 'fixed in their views' because if you aren't, in this climate they come back later and bite you on the bum!

Julia Hartley Brewer has her head screwed on ...but I doubt if she would ever kow-tow to the BBC

Is Victoria Derbyshire any good ? I know she did some pioneering stuff on the whole vaginal mesh thing, I think its still important to have a place for womens issues. Is she too campaigny ?

I thought the job of a good journalist was to open things up. I can still be open to ideas and change my mind, even if it takes a while..

I think Victoria will be seen as too similar to Jane Garvey. Both are of a similar age and both have that 5Live style which is expected, given both worked there. I?d go for Liz Green or another regional host but I think the BBC will think it?s best to go young and/or ethnic minority. It?s a good programme but tilts too far to affluent/academic in its content these days. You and Yours is more entertaining, useful, friendly and eye-opening and has a largely female presentation team.

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
