BBC1's The Politics Show has just run a special feature on London, and produced more or less the same story as the Herald's Night falls on the Aussified high road. They had an Aussie interviewer interviewing an Aussie barman at The Spotted Dog. They had the stupidity or peasant cunning to call the place Neasden, when the Spotted Dog is slap-bang in the middle of Willesden High Road. The Herald demands an acknowledgement as the source of this story, and a correction to the location. Auntie Beeb you shameless old tart!
[I sent a link to the Willesden Herald to vine@bbc.co.uk - the email address of Jeremy Vine, the presenter of the Politics Show - a couple of weeks ago while listening to his radio program. Ed.]
