From tomorrow, 21st May at midday, Lord Biggar CBE, Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral & Pastoral Theology at Oxford University, talks with Chris Haydon and a small invited audience on PECKHAM PODCAST.

This is the Professor who set out to draw up a balanced view of Empire and history but walked into a storm. "OMG, this is serious shit", said one Cambridge academic on hearing of Biggar's plan. Meet the man himself, unless of course you think this Regius Professor Emeritus should be cancelled still.

When someone calls their own views balanced they often mean they consider other peoples views unbalanced that may not be the case. 

I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion.

I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.

    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon. 
    • My husband was in a cycling accident just after 10pm on Friday, May 30.    He hit the pedestrian crossing pole going west down East Dulwich Grove, just past Glengarry Road.    He was knocked out and doesn’t remember anything - and I wanted to say thank you to whoever called the ambulance, and was there with him after the accident. (And to give you an update: thankfully, there was no head injury. He got very lucky with just a fractured face.)   We’re trying to get CCTV footage - but if there any witnesses who can help paint a clearer picture of what happened, it would be really appreciated.
