DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Did he come in to 🎶DeDoDeDoDoDeedleEedleEeedleEeDoDo🎶 020
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Neither the Jews nor the Arabs are going anywhere and it seems unlikely that they’ll live together. A state each, however hard, still looks like the best option. This label says that must not happen. 100
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026She was the one describing it as not a useful concept, but acknowledging that there was a range of opinions even within the Jewish community. We are unused to that level of nuance on the Today programme. 100
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#r4today Sensible and interesting Jewish Green spokesman criticising a very stupid Green policy on Zionism as racism. 110
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#r4today Why is Michael Gove always on Radio 4? As for the link between local MO and constituent-what is the point? The boss of the local MP is not their constituent, it’s their party leader. 0111
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 20/09/2026True. If you decide that power is the only test and that justice is irrelevant, it is only a matter of time before a more powerful enemy will emerge and take you at your word. 010
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It’s actually part of the whole pitch. Through their behaviour they are enfranchising the dark behaviors of people, who are not only emboldened, but thrilled to get to behave in this transgressive manner. It’s a feature not a bug. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It was ever thus. The corollary is that as a manager you’re main job is to find and attract big lads, who are quick and have skills. There just aren’t many of them. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 15/09/2026#r4today Millions of Britons trying to influence government policy is democracy. Two people purchasing it is oligarchy. This is not difficult to understand. 0173
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Exactly. There is a care industry worth billions that keeps people alive even against their will and no one bothers. It’s ironic that we worry about the elderly bring financially exploited: they already are. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026#wato Who is this guy defending this? This is crazy. Why isn’t he just apologising because a bunch of nutters harassed a visiting under 19 sports team. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yup, that was ugly and other than the screeching I can’t remember a thing about it. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Chris Philp disagrees with sanctions on illegal West Bank products as performative. He agrees that they are illegal though, so performative statements are alright! #r4today 010
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I actually think it makes sense to bring it up. It is true and is a direct consequence of Brexit. The Portuguese, Spanish, Poles and Romanians left and the Nigerians, Indians and Filipinos replaced them. Let these old fools own their choices and consider that they may not get what they wish for. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 01/08/2026#r4Today Hilary Cass still managing to maintain a calm and reasonable position and navigate a rational route between the activists, that may result in us with a clearer understanding of how to manage gender dysphoria in young people. Hats off to her. 030
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 31/07/2026This is the climate change equivalent of Boris Johnson’s “Let it rip!” 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It’s not real It’s real, but it it is natural It’s real, it is our fault, but I why should I fix it? It’s real, it is our fault, but we’ve left it too long to fix. Forget it, let’s burn! The whole cycle 010
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Suella Braverman’s incoherent rant still managed to punch all those right wing populist taglines. Was she reading off a list? #r4Today 150
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 27/07/2026This will end badly for the international force 100
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 13/07/2026#R4Today “a passionate opponent of peat”; what a ludicrous way to describe someone who is pointing out that when the real consequences of climate change are here, it’s not premature to demand the real changes necessary. 171
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Maybe the current incredible surge in immigration will be seen as worse than returning to the EU migration (and UK emigration) we once had. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Thank you for your commentary and sanity (I don’t know how you’ve maintained it). You have been consistent and real throughout. 010
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 25/05/2026If they were normal people Hannan, Frost etc would find the shame intolerable and we’d never have to hear from them again. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 18/05/2026My key learning is that a sensible narrative is undermined by an irrational debate. What is the point in discussing European economic, political and cultural solidarity when the counter argument is to have fewer mosques. 100
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 12/05/2026This endless shuffling of leaders is pointless. Barring getting rid of the clown Johnson and the fool Truss, the other changes in the last few years have done nothing and swapped out well-meaning and competent people for similar or worse; but none could solve our problems. 050
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I can guarantee that the same people that insisted lockdowns don’t work will not want this ship. 010
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Is Farage using that £5M to buy up all Britain’s milk shakes? 030
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Same here and from now on I am going to tell people that Shania Twain is Mark Twain’s great, great, great grand-daughter. Because I want it to be true. 2150
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 22/04/2026#r4Today I know that The Today programme is largely about gossip, but do any serious people believe that this Mandelson story is important? 040
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 13/04/2026We might have been better off sending JD Sports. At least everyone would end up with a tracksuit. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 13/04/2026#r4today As the SNP look like they might win a fifth election might it be possible for The Today programme to consider the possibility that they could have done a good job! 23513
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 08/04/2026You’ve been very patient, but he’s not going to acknowledge the blindingly obvious. 020
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 31/03/2026#r4Today Not sure this resident doctor BMA rep is doing himself any favours dodging a straight question. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 23/03/2026This is definitely an anti-Semitic attack. It’s depressing because of the anger, stupidity and scary escalation of this whole business. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I better not hear one of those frauds calling it Assisted Suicide again. Trying to hijack the pain of those whose lives have been blighted by suicide to taint this bill is perverse. We are not your political toys. Everyone can see the difference between suicide and assisted dying. 010
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 18/03/2026#bbcR4Today The reality is that the ethicists, the politicians and the religious leaders have let us down. What are they there for if not to address the real issues of the day, rather than shirking from them. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 18/03/2026#bbcr4Today Ezra Cohen says the US made a small request. It is not small. They’ve been bounced into a war and want to bounce us into it too. We should be clear that that is not how we conduct global politics and they’d be better off learning that. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 17/03/2026This is really straightforward. Israel started this war. Instead of its ships being safe at home shelling refugee camps, they can escort merchant ships through the Straits of Hormuz. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Maybe Reform wasting all that public money on local elections will not be the big win they hoped for. 000
DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Isn’t Starmer just absolutely right. The war is plainly illegal, but now that it has started British military resources need to be used to protect British interests. That’s it. 020
