The BBC’s response

Dear Mr Yon

Thanks for your e-mail regarding the BBC News Channel.

Please accept our apologies for the long delay in replying. We know our correspondents appreciate a quick response and we’re sorry you’ve had to wait on this occasion.

I understand you felt a report broadcast on 22 February contained an inaccurate and biased interview regarding the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies in treating cancer.

Since joining Twitter, more and more I’ve found myself wanting to write essays that don’t fit into 140 characters. I’ve never been particularly verbose; I’ve always just scraped the word requirements in academic contexts, if I managed to complete the assignment at all. But my head is full of stuff and it needs somewhere to overflow occasionally. So it seems it’s time to start a blog, and actually update it.

I’ve decided not to self-host. I have mixed feelings about this, because I have mixed experiences of using hosted services. But we’ll see how things go. At least it’ll be one less system to administer.
