    They have a problem with it because they support AIDS, would be the conspiracy theory. As in that's why they don't want him wearing it, because they...ah nevermind let's just write that one off

    I think the rule is that presenters can only wear green ribbons for Good AIDS, can't be seen to support the gays at the BBC!

    BIZ? What does biz mean?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It's not middle England, it's some officious little jobsworth being stupid about interpreting the rules.
