It is embarrassing to see how low he has stooped in order to take a grubby shilling and even more toe curling to see him do it on TV.

Watching an old Wheeltappers and Shunters with the bizarre billing of the Krankies followed by the Dadaist force of nature George Melly. No wonder the Krankies sought solace in the swinging scene.

" Kemi! I understand Michelle has been in touch about some kind of 'Brittania Shield'? I think I might be able to help..."

Yes indeed, but I was more of a Norman Gunston enthusiast myself. There weren't many of us in 1970s Suffolk!

They are keen on privatising the NHS and are ideologically opposed to paying tax to fund universal healthcare. There is private pay now for those who can afford it and who want to beat queues where they exist. Most like the basic model of paid by taxation and free at point of need.

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get sorted soon.The NHS isn't perfect but most people get good care most of the time. It's under strain as people are living longer with multiple conditions but there are some here on the right who think the answer is to move more to a US insurance based system.

Saw a GP on a Thursday with a gastro problem, had gastroscopy on Monday, results given there and then picked up a prescription and home. It's taking me longer to book a service for the car.

He might just about come off best in a punch up with a Redcoat, but then again most would be about 275 years old by now - so it's a close call.

There's no logic just racism. I was born in England, English dad, Irish mum with Scottish ancestry. Am I no longer ethnically 'English' by Braverman's definition or am I ok because I'm white? My son did one of those DNA tests and it was all over the place.

Years ago I used to go to a sandwich shop owned by an excitable Italian couple always shouting at each other. He would sigh " if I got 10p for every sandwich I made I'd be a millionaire. That'll be £1.95"

That looks idyllic.

Presumably they gamble on people not deconstructing their lunch and if anyone complains put it down as a production error. There's a reason why they are millionaires and I'm not!

I once bought a brie and grape ( I know..) sandwich from a supermarket. In the packet it looked generously filled. However taking the top slice off showed an inch wide strip of filling at the cut edge. Scandalous.

Father in law was in shared hospital transport. A woman said to the Asian driver " I suppose the free NHS is why you came here". He quietly replied that he was born here, worked,paid tax and his wife worked in the hospital they'd just come from. Horrible people saying horrible things out loud.

Didn't they know there was a war on? Around that time my grandad tried eating a seagull and at 99 it still gives him nightmares.

It's like the people in the press who argue most loudly for a free press and freedom of speech don't actually want people like me to have the freedom of wealth and privilege that they all enjoy, and will do whatever they can to prevent it.

Wasn't there a story a few years ago about some poor chap called Al Nino who kept getting angry phone calls blaming him for the weather?

It's a fine distinction but I thought it was writing on the sole of a carpet slipper - which really is something.

I worked at a wrestling venue and in between trying to stop old ladies walloping grapplers with umbrellas once made Jackie 'Mr TV' Pallo a mug of tea.

Can absolutely guarantee that not one of those freaks ever heard about 'Fabians' 3 months ago. They Probably think Sidney and Beatrice Webb is a Wetherspoons.

I worked in a DHSS office in London in the 80s dealing with cardboard city dwellers or so called ' itinerant claimants'. They were given vouchers which they couldn't exchange for drink etc. They just sold or swapped them.

Whenever he goes outside to tell us about the most stubborn people he's ever met he talks to an invisible person to one side of the camera instead of at the camera itself - who is that??

Seb Coe goes to Lord's for a meeting. Steward directs him to the main gate. I'm a bit late for an important meeting with the MCC he says. Sorry sir, main gate. Coe says I don't like doing this but I'm Sebastian Coe. Steward says in that case it won't take you long to run round to the main gate.
