I was still buying the listener - more as a historic tic then anything else - but after this week's middle class panic discourse - and the totally offensive story you've so astutely summarised Emma - I'm going to end it all. After 20 or so years of reading - my parents were middle class liberals, what can i say - I'm going to stop the one non-virtual media form we still engaged with. (Herald subscription cancelled some years ago due to increasing tory tabloidisation). My husband hasn't actually picked up the listener since Steve Braunias left. And as for the internaut . . . . hoo boy don't get me started.
