The Lyse Doucet fear meter

Back up today as she’s got her helmet on as well as the body armour.

She's basically the grim reaper.

If you ever switch on your TV and see Lyse Doucet broadcasting from your neighbourhood, by Christ it's time to find a bomb shelter.

I dunno - always thought Orla Guerin was the true herald of the four horsemen of the apolcalypse

If I ever see her in person I'll be getting out of the vicinity ASAP 

Years ago I was on an escalator at a station in London and felt a sudden sense of terror and then realised I'd heard Kate Adie who was going the other way on the next escalator.

Yeah, the true originator of the female journos in war scenarios was Kate Adie. She got shot a number of times, fortunately with only minor injury

"a good decision is getting on a plane at an airport where Kate Adie is getting off"

No helmet on Dr Adler today. Excellent to see they’ve sent her out there, having largely wasted her since Brexit. But isn’t this a Sky pundit she’s interviewing now? What? Beeb news in the UK still reeling from its disastrous merger with World.
