I mean, I've flicked back and forth to BBC News (the merged channel) this afternoon and the flipper is stuck flipping between the word 'HEADLINES' and 'bbc.com/news' or just showing 'bbc.co.uk/news' all day. And it's been like that for 7 whole days now.
I know it's Easter. I know staff may be on holiday. I know staff have been made redundant. I know the BBC has nothing left in the kitty. But is there not a single soul at New Broadcasting House thinking that the flipper situation alone needs fixing in some way sooner rather than later, even if it meant that the white strap disappears completely temporarily? It's either laziness or incompetence or - I can totally believe it where today's BBC is concerned - both.
It's so embarrassing for what is meant to be a national and global broadcaster. And then you get those who are still in the building tweeting how successful the last week has been. An absolute farce.
