Hi Gordo

I think for something like this issue, which was very much about on wiki processes/community decisions, we would always want to put forward someone from the community (i.e. not a member of the team). John and I have both spoken to the media recently about issues that feel more relevant and appropriate for the charity itself to comment on - such as my interviews around the BBC partnership, and John's on fake news. 

Cheers

Lucy

A rather complex decision (to ban the Daily Mail) with a lot of history,
and some un-answered questions (e.g. why are other sources not on the
banned list?).

If WMUK had some warning, who would they want to put up? John Lubbock?
