Absolutely, would be sadly wasted on BBC4.

That can doubtless be blamed on the new head bod being an ex-HallofFameakaClassicFM (from the Borg) man; though I won't hear a bad word said about Petroc Trelawney who is the opposite of that disease IMO.

Sticking my neck on the line here, Channel 4 in its earlier years would have been all over it.

I see all the talking heads are going into all-out Green bashing because of a 2nd place in a SAFE LABOUR SEAT. The abhorrent motion was approved by ~1200 members out of over 200,000 and doesn't speak to a vast majority of the memebrship. Oy vey..

To say nothing of nigh on EVERYTHING before 6pm on Two being (at times over a decade old) repeats as well as BBC News 24 duplication - even comedy seems to have been ousted to the fringes..

This statement from the Greens in my home borough is commendable, and I thoroughly endorse it.

Suddenly is, in my view, a great song, while Angry Anderson was of, at the very least, odious political and other opinions. There, nuff said and no need to join the Bluesky obligation of immediately bringing up the wrongs of someone who's died. Show some online decorum people..

Agreed, but an old-school beasting in prison once a month wouldn't go amiss.

When they're inevitably imprisoned, should be an additional condition to pass said test if they want early release, or on licence indefinitely until they do.

The Proclaimers can sod off 500 miles and 500 more with their TERF-supporting bollocks. That's them blacklisted from radio if there's any justice.

All of those supposed "patriots" at the weekend would do well to school themselves on British Values, or in some cases should have paid more attention to them in school where applicable. The rule of law and Mutual respect in particular; and that covering your face is an act of cowardice..

I’m thinking we should reclaim the word “patriot”. Fascist thugs aren’t patriots: they’re fascist thugs. They don’t love their country, they love bullying, intimidation and violence. I love this country, and I want it to be better: I want greater equality, tolerance, respect and an end to poverty.

What happened in both Dover and Portsmouth over the weekend was riot and incitement thereof, with far-right thugs who should see swift, sharp justice for any law breaking. Would also help if the Government called it what it is - terrorism.

Just because Reform have women supporters in the media because the money's right, doesn't mean the public agrees.

As my Lithuanian associate @catnipfields.bsky.social would attest, One and Six Zeroes was *NOT* a Millionaire-based quiz show, with elements nearer to The Vault in parts, and Wikipedia is inherently wrong. All the same, a team going from Q1 to GS is unheard of in the CL.
