Unless there's a pistol just out of camera shot pointed at his nuts, someone at the Beeb needs to remind "Raggy" that his reporting is supposed to be impartial.

He really has taken on the mantle of Jeremy "I saw no evidence of a Military Installation" Bowen during GW1.

Radio 5 are starting to p**s me off aswell (and usually I'm a fan) - Nicky Campbell almost let the cat out of the bag the other morning when he joked with his so-presenter that they should "tell people how they really feel about the War". His questioning skills (which might be fine for a Consumer Affairs Programme) are not up to this job.

I exclude John Simpson from this slagging - probably their one credible (and completely non-sensationalist) journalist.
