The BBC's nonsensical axing of Steve Wright's hugely popular afternoon show less than two years ago was the equivalent of a public library replacing a Shakespearean comedy with a (Scott) Mills & Boon. And now Radio 2 boss Helen Thomas pays tribute to his irreplaceable talents. Talk about not reading the room. Yet another example, a very sad one, of how the BBC has quite simply lost its way these last few years.

A 'twaddle merchant' (to quote Boris Johnson himself) is someone 

who writes a full-page article on the pros and cons of playing rugby 

without mentioning, even once, the words 'early onset dementia'. I 

can only wonder what the likes of England and Lions hooker Steve 

Thompson and other sufferers make of such an irresponsible and 

ill-informed article. And I speak as a rugby lover.
