Anybody else find the affected and querilous way Robert Peston talks on the BBC irritating? Notice Private Eye have taken the rise out of him finally....

Very true.
I think once you said you read most of the papers every day- doesn't it depress you to read such rubbish all the time?

Watching the news and experts and anchors and reporters - they are so bad.
Every cliche is trotted out; every hack phrase recycled.
Matthew Parris touches on this in the Times - "fear breeds fear" indeed. What bollocks.
The worst since 2007... hyperbole... exaggeration... inflation...
All because, of course, we want a good story and ordinary ain't good enuff.
The meeeejah; not just predictable but bloody illiterate too.
