Francophobia[edit]

no doubt somebody will delete the addition "He is anti-French as we can see at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/7942086.stm (an article with no reference) justifying well his family name." for some reason or other, but before someone does so, i would say that little´s jingoistic anti-gallicism, and attempt at british superciliousness, is well documented by the piece cited. Little must have learned very little about France, or indeed about geopolitics, when he was Paris correspondent for the BBC. Perhaps he is right, though, when her writes in the BBC piece that "France ... is growing reconciled to the history that is now challenging the myths". Let us hope Little also comes to challenge his own myths. Compromiso (talk) 10:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe he is back in the BBC?[edit]

Some articles as of march 2022 have his name in the byline: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60767454 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odoacer Rex (talk • contribs) 07:29, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did some searching and found this, where he's quoted as saying "I still work for BBC News, mostly the 6 O'clock and 10 O'clock News but I do it on my terms now". Cordless Larry (talk) 10:20, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
