@royaards The Today programme was reporting on increase in retail figures today as if people spending more on stuff was an unqualified Good Thing.

Despite them mentioning in the small print that most of the rise was due to Trump's increased petrol prices, and that food sales actually fell because people can't accord so much food any more. Nevertheless, this is all "good" news.

Another illustration that the BBC have totally and utterly given up on journalism.
