...from both sides (zzzzzzz)


If you spend too much time reading Twitter comments about BBC bias you'll come across many a regular.

Such as Simon Maginn. 

He's a Corbynista 'ultra' who regularly rides to the rescue of Labour antisemties.

He sticks in my my mind so much because he once seriously lost his temper with Rob Burley after Rob had described a baseless accusation of BBC bias from him as "mad".

He rampaged across the Twittersphere accusing Rob of branding him as 'mentally ill'.

He was so wild about it that and so immune to reason that, I must confess, I instantly nicknamed him 'Mad Simon Maginn'.

He's still at it - though in his official complaint to the BBC he's holding onto the rails and trying to sound reasonable.

He's complained about a rare Corbyn joke on Radio 4's The News Quiz:


Wonder how he'll get on with that?
