    It's a personal Comment Is Free but my kneejerk reaction is to cancel my Guardian subscription.

    (I don't do kneejerks, but really The Guardian is generally pretty philistine. Music? Ho ho ho ho ho ho. Not.)
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      'Kate Maltby writes about theatre, politics, and culture'. But not very well. To describe R3 as 'dedicated ' to classical music is ridiculous since the change to snippets, trailers and chat. .

        Client journalism is the scourge of modern life. Only a couple of years ago The Guardian, no less, described Elon Musk as a "fierce proponent of free speech." I think we all know where that one is heading.

          Given her credentials I would have expected better. But Sam must be pleased that so many take his description of R3 at face value and repeat it?

            Well it could be argued that he is a proponent for free speech - for himself?

              Changing one's opinion of prominent Americans seems to have become rather fashionable for some reason.
