"Morally" wrong? The current state of social care is morally wrong. The triple lock is just a mechanism for calculating benefits. There is no moral line being crossed here.

Correct. It's clear why it's there (historic reasons as above). Whether we want it there now is a whole other question...

Short answer. It's not owned by a foreign power, it's an RAF base. It exists because the Second World War happened, then the Cold War and the existence of NATO

The anonymous farmer's anecdote suggested a high level of certainty that she had singlehandedly prevented the terrorist incident; with the implication that the authorities were incompetent. That was the 'line' that I heard on #BBCtoday this morning.

Were the binoculars in the locked box with no key?

If I were you Anna, I'd take a quick look at Carol's bank account before committing on the eulogy thing #TheArchers

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Ruth's behaviour towards Anna was very interesting. There must be a word for it; what do you call a person who seeks out other people in emotional distress in order to talk about their own emotional distress? #TheArchers

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Anna was perfectly entitled to show Ruth the door imo. That wasn't empathy, that was conversational narcissism. "I know exactly how you're feeling, now let's talk about me" #TheArchers

I think that's the story, for sure, but all the mobile banking apps that I know of, have strict limits on the size of a one-off bank transfer. Carol may well have overpaid Alan, but not to the tune of £30k without separate authorisation #TheArchers

Yes, the legal system doesn't care who's at fault. If they can agree a settlement between each other, Fallon and Harrison don't even need solicitors. Although... it would make for much better listening if it's bitter and acrimonious🤞 #TheArchers

When are the poor Snells going to get a break from the SWs? The latest kick in the teeth came from Esme (the useless farmer), who was very thoughtless and unkind #TheArchers

It's his house and he has been made homeless by Jolene. I don't see it as bullying his way back in. What choice does he have? What they really need to do is stop faffing about, and get on with the process of separation. Time to phone an estate agent. #TheArchers

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Exactly. Fallon has been spectacularly naive throughout the marriege break up, not helped by Jolene's brainless interventions. Ultimately, the house has to be sold, unless one party buys the other one out. #TheArchers

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
They may have only split up recently, but the marriage has been as good as over for a year or more. Fallon sitting on her barstool playing the victim like that was all a bit much #TheArchers

I don't get to use the word 'hubris' very often but I can't think of a better use of it to describe the behaviour of Gianni Infantino

Oh Lord, not more Bert. They couldn't spare us the whinging misery for just one day? #TheArchers

Nice to hear Bert back to his objectionable worst. Any sympathy he garnered last week went up in a puff of cigarette smoke #TheArchers

How has it taken two fxxxing months to get this far? Ridiculous. Any idea on the likely sanction?

You can hear the unmistakable crunch of feet treading on eggshells in every scene with Fallon and Harrison #TheArchers

At this rate, France vs Paraguay will get a FIFA Fair Play award. Awful to watch. #ENGARG

I think the claimed advice has been fact-checked and has been found to be a lie, which is broadly consistent with everything else this man says

I thought it might just be a BBC Public Information episode to educate city-dwelling listeners on weekend dog walks in the countryside. #TheArchers

Deafening silence from #SaintsFC Do they even have an active comms team anymore?

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
A message of reassurance for our younger #TheArchers listeners: in real life, not all old people are cantankerous gits.

Having read the judgement, my comment earlier is hereby withdrawn. Putting pressure on junior staff to break the rules is indefensible. #SaintsFC

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Most likely he will go. But there are other ways to draw a line under it.

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Yes, I hope the club does consult with the players on this. We need more than contractual obligation here. Players need to actively want to stay, otherwise they're better off leaving #SaintsFC and who could blame them.

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
That's probably what will happen. But... maybe I'm alone in this... the team were very good under his direction, and I refuse to believe that it was down to sending out a lad with an iphone #Saintsfc

Rob @robsutton1.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Time to move on. #SaintsFC against the world. I hope Tonda stays and the club does everything possible to hold it together. One season to save his reputation.

So, as if being dumped out of the play-offs and a 4 point deduction wasn't enough, there's now the threat of FA misconduct charges against Eckert and Spors. It's beginning to feel like a pile-on. There will be no one left at the end of this #SaintsFC Meanwhile, over at Man City..... nothing to see

Adam's is a deeply cynical and manipulative character. Playing the dementia card despite knowing what he knows. I can't wait for his downfall. Is that unfair? #TheArchers

I've been searching for a glimmer of light in the darkness and misery of being a #SaintsFC supporter today, and I've finally found it. Old friends who I haven't spoken to in years have got in touch to sympathise. Football really does bring people together 🤮🤢

Well, at least we'll we kicked off the football headlines now that City have lost #SaintsFC

Is this helping Boro? Dignified silence might be more effective, rather than demanding an unmerited elevation to the EPL. #SaintsFC

I hope Elizabeth enjoyed her party at The Bull. Seemed like a good turn out, except for Elizabeth of course, who was a non-speaking part at her own event. Classic #TheArchers character rationing.

I can't put up with that ridiculous parody character Bert Horrobin for much longer. Not remotely credible. #TheArchers

League 1 Minus 10. Blackburn Preamble. RPs appreciated. Featuring the Ghost of Will Still #saintsfc
league1minus10.co.uk
Blackburn again Olé Olé – Preamble
Will Still watches his Substitutions Take Effect. It was back in October 2025 that Saints visited Blackburn and the managers in the dugouts on that day were Will Still and Valerien Ismael. There will of course be two different managers in the dugouts today in Toda Eckert and Michael O’Neill because the two previous managers were largely shite. Blackburn away was a bit of a turning point because I think most people realised, if they hadn't already, that it was never going to work with Will Still.

Yes, Clive had much greater depth and richness to his character; he was believable. Bert however is little more than a pantomime villain. Hopefully he'll go silent again soon and maybe #TheArchers scriptwriters can have a rethink

Where did Tracy's dad come from? And whose idea was it to turn him into a ridiculous dickensian caricature? #TheArchers

I do find it frustrating when entire storylines are played out while a 'key' character in said storyline doesn't sppear. Happened twice yesterday: Khalil and the budgie; Kiera and George #TheArchers
