[Pause, while blog author Craig is revived by smelling salts by fellow blog author Sue, who then faints herself on hearing about Professor Greenslade's unprecedented behaviour].
Less surprisingly perhaps, he's praising the Daily Mail for praising the BBC (whilst, being who he is, also adding the odd sly dig at the Daily Mail).
What the prof approves of is this from the Mail's latest editorial:
Full marks to the BBC for resisting political pressure to drop the term ‘Islamic State’, the name by which members of this vile death cult refer to themselves. Will MPs stop fussing irrelevantly about what to call them – and turn their minds to defeating them?
Get the smelling salts out yourselves, because I agree with both of them.
Lots of people have been commenting about how the BBC has never been required to refer to the "so called" IRA. Maybe that was on his mind...Just google him if you're perplexed.
