Some 16 hours ago the BBC's media editor tweeted the following:
Scoop: John Humphrys is joining the Daily Mail as a columnist. My very distinguished former colleague, who left @BBCr4today in September after 32yrs, starts on Saturday. Replaces Peter Oborne. Will range beyond politics. Suspect BBC will be in his sights from time to time!
He when then visited by a multitude of not-so-heavenly Corbynistas and FBPEers, so 2 hours ago he tweeted again:
If you want proof that, from a low base, Twitter has got so much worse so quickly of late, I recommend combining acclaimed BBC journalists and The Daily Mail in a single tweet. Btw on a point of information he voted Remain, and wrote a Sunday Times column for many years.
(For those wondering about the meaning of the title of this post, in his book John Humphrys revealed that his then colleague Sarah Montague "gave him a hard time" for reading The Daily Mail.)
