I am sorry to be leaving the BBC. I have enjoyed a fascinating seven years at the corporation and am particularly proud to have played a small part in the development of the BBC's Global News services, BBC World Service and BBC World.

The establishment is a dirty, dangerous beast, and the BBC is a mouthpiece for that.
