The BBC decision to axe the Radio Four medley of UK folk tunes has provoked a row about the corporation's Britishness.
Here's Gillian Reynolds in the Telegraph. Here's the Telegraph leader.
Jeremy Paxman doesn't like it either.
The BBC timing couldn't be worse of course. The next Prime Minister is extolling the virtues of Britishness, and talking about the importance of symbols, and a few days later the BBC dumps one of them. Still, no-one can accuse them of seeking to curry favour with the government over this!
