It’s bad news all round, but as the Journal is about “ordinary people caring for extraordinary places” we’ll confine our dismay to that. A Fox News style TV channel is planned for Britain! Surely that spells disaster for heritage?

In the US it provides ultra-populist programming in pursuit of pro-exploitation, right-wing agendas. On that basis, Britain can expect denial of climate change, rejection of UNESCO and a massive reduction in heritage protection.

Impossible in Britain? Have you seen Fox in the States?
