I wrote to @bbcpress pointing out Andrew Neil's comment wasn't inappropriate, it was misogynistic. He's live now on TV. And @bbcpress "has nothing to add".
My letter. Throughout this story, it's been fascinating to learn who in Britain it's just not possible to hold to account. Facebook. Google. Theresa May. And now...Andrew Neil.
I take your abuse, @afneil. And I use it to fuel me on. But this is the "Simpson's" Crazy Cat Lady. How many women put their heads back down beneath the parapet because they decide they don't want to deal with this kind of shit?
Me? I go, fuck you Andrew Neil. But I've written to the BBC and I'd like a response because this matters for other women. It matters for the story. Wrong kind of cat, Neil.
To be clear, I am not seeking apology from Andrew Neil. I want BBC 1) To assess Neil's r'ships to Spectator, Leave campaign, Arron Banks & Adam Smith Institute & how his views impact his work for @bbcpolitics, esp regarding the criminality during referendum that we have uncovered
2) To investigate its failure to report @Shahmiruk's story. Neil & Marr critical pieces of this. But also BBC news.
3) To investigate ongoing failure to understand & report Arron Banks' story that led to BBC being used to further his attacks on me & @observeruk's journalism
4) To examine its decision to not sanction overt use of misogynistic language from senior BBC figure.
