The funny thing is, BBC Radio 4 isn’t covering it right now. They did for an hour between 3 to 4pm, and will do so at 5 (noon our time), then at the 6.00 news. But a couple of hours ago the principal BBC radio news station was running its usual programming — a radio drama. At first I was appalled, but then I thought there’s something especially dry and British about it; and it’s surely not what al-Qaeda would wish to hear.
