The former Telegraph editor Charles Moore looks like he may have just run out of reasons to continue his war against the licence fee. Moore, who writes columns in the Telegraph and the Spectator, rather infamously based his campaign on the pledge never to pay while Jonathan Ross remained on staff. Cue the departure of Ross – and PM, the Radio 4 afternoon news programme, leaps in to ask Moore if he will lay down arms and pull out the cheque book. "I'll be revealing that in my column on Sunday," he responds. BBC creative director Alan Yentob was then asked for his opinion on Moore's dodge. He reckoned that Moore should perhaps spend less time on BBC radio shows and more time trundling down to the Post Office to pay the licence fee.
