Kathy Clugston, 49, BBC continuity announcer, knows nothing about gardening. She will host Gardener’s Question Time.

Our thanks to Mike P for this.

For the sake of my mental health I restrict how much BBC TV and radio I listen to, in particular avoiding Radio 4 at all costs (you rarely have to listen to Radio 4 for more than a minute or two before becoming aware of feminist influence). The ratio of women to men has become obscene – even on sports reporting – and much of the output seems to be women talking to other women about how they feel about things. And so it is that even a woman who knows nothing about gardening can host Gardener’s Question Time, a Radio 4 staple for 70+ years. An extract from the BBC piece, from the penultimate paragraph:

Last month, former GQT chairman Professor Stefan Buczacki accused the BBC of ‘dumbing down’ after her appointment was announced.
