Nice to see that the Telegraph continues to concern itself with pertinent issues that very strongly influence the shape of the English nation.
A useless part of the male wardrobe? A useless part of the discussion about the shape of television news in England, more like. Even if I strongly respect Paxman and Snow (and I do!), it’s almost too obvious to see how these guys are taking their eyes off the ball. Maybe in five years Paxman will start blogging about something important (like oh, I dunno: the process behind Newsnight?) and the Telegraph will understand the concept of linking to its sources (Jeremy Paxman has a blog? LINK ME TO IT!).
Right now, talking about ties seems to be the “news world’s” equivalent of blogging about your cat!
I think the bunch of ‘em should take a look at the UK indie music scene. If a bunch of pretentious musicians in their late-teens / early twenties think it’s cool to wear skinny ties straight out of the 70s, then the rest of the “cool” populace will probably come round to that thinking in no short order. A good thing then that people tend not to consider “coolness” an attribute to look for in a newscaster.
