Comment Channel 4 News regularly sweeps the boards at award ceremonies, delivered outstanding coverage throughout the pandemic and manages to weave foreign coverage throughout its programming
WHAT has Channel 4 ever done for us? That might not seem the right question to ask since news broke that Boris Johnson intends to press ahead with privatisation – a move the Tories have been plotting for the past 25 years. After all, the downsides of flogging a robust, innovative broadcaster to the private sector don’t need much consideration for progressive Scots. Firstly, can a channel owned by someone like the US Discovery Channel possibly be better for viewers than the current publicly owned Channel 4? Mmm. Let’s think.

She was fun to be with, and never boring, with all sorts of insights into life
Aileen Hammond was a councillor in Belsize
AILEEN Hammond, who has died aged 82, was a force of nature, a passionate believer in social justice who was never afraid to speak out or take practical action.
A feisty former Belsize ward councillor, Aileen worked tirelessly for the Labour Party, of which she was a lifelong member, and for the Co-operative Party, as well as energetically involving herself with other local organisations, including the Camden Civic Society, the Safer Neighbourhoods Panel and the Belsize Society.
“Aileen was not an ambitious person,” said John Saynor, a friend and comrade.
