More Beeb bullshit
For many months, the Beeb news website has been awash with maps of eastern Europe. Many of those maps show where Moldova is.
Moldova is land-locked between Ukraine and Romania. In no sense is Moldova a neighbour of Russia.
But this is on the Beeb site this evening:
Come on, Beeb, check your facts and have words with your editor.
FWIW, at the top of the page it says "Edited by Chris Giles", but I suppose that could be wrong as well.

CHURN is what the Beeb does to initialisms.

War paint
In case you hadn't noticed, the place has had a less-than-subtle make-over.
I can't tell you about the other support that I'm helping to provide, except to say that it's digital.
