Radio For fans of unexpected scoops (see also Diane Abbot announcing her Labour leadership candidacy on Today), here's the moment on the BBC's World at One when Edward Sturton found out he'd have to throw out the interview he was about to have with Argyle and Bute Council leader Roddy McCuish over the censorship of the Never Seconds blog:
I love Sturton's splutter. He's clearly assumed he's going to be speaking to a drone and takes the usual tactic of going in all words blazing, and McCuish has to interrupt him in order to announce the reversal. But yes, this is all sorted out now. The original donkey statement has been replaced with another explaining the reversal ("There is no place for censorship in this Council and never will be whilst I am leader").
