And it's not in any way difficult to find a well researched article that makes exactly the opposite case. https://learningonscreen.ac.uk/viewfinder/articles/myth-of-the-bbc/ The Panorama edit was obviously wrong, and it's been apologised for and publicly corrected. Back to the facts then. Is...

It's easily resolved. Reverse the appointment, and reselect from candidates who can be seen as genuinely independent. Of course, that won't happen, and it's more grist to the mill for those who think politicians are all the same. More evidence that Starmer is an absolute fucking disaster as a...

Also, just to provide a bit of balance to those who would claim that Trump wasn't really trying to overturn the results of a free and fair democratic election... https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-lit-that-fire-of-capitol-insurrection-jan-6-committee-report-says

All feels a bit like a storm in a teacup to me. Robins will always be a legend for bringing the club back from the brink, being a bit grumpy after we've beaten his current team isn't going to change that. We obviously don't play for corners and throws, but we put teams under pressure and they...

Fair play to Simms there. Came on, got stuck in, got us the result. Chuffed to bits for him, and the team. I don't want to get too excited, but there's certainly no one in this division we need to worry about too much. Could it be?

Only scored one? Bah. Lampard out! 😁

I guess you don't really follow the news. Bore off.

Isn't the BBC already in enough trouble? Can you imagine the language? There's no asterisks in live broadcasting. 😄

I knew there would be someone hereabouts who would know that. Accountants, lawyers, musicians, tactical football geniuses, we've got the lot here.😄

I'm not sure if we're falling into conspiracy theory territory here. I don't think you'd need a microphone to hear a brass instrument in a quiet stadium (or even a loud one, thinking about England and the 'barmy army'), and having done the research, you can play the Last Post on a trumpet...

Which I noticed was how the chap was playing the trumpet last night. Didn't touch the keys at all that I could see. It will take someone who actually knows about brass instruments to tell me whether this is possible, in theory I suspect it is though...

Please tell me that's not true. In fairness, it didn't look like it, but then who remembers Top of the Pops. 😁

It was played on a trumpet last night, for some reason. I'm not a poppy perfectionist, but I did spot that on the telly when I was watching it. What's the difference between a trumpet and a bugle, you ask? About £1.50 when you weigh it in for scrap. 😁

Absolutely. What thrusting young New Yorker wouldn't want to swap "the city that never sleeps", for "God's (muggy) waiting room".

If he'd read the Lord of the Rings properly, he'd realise that the "Scouring of the Shire" was all about how a single, powerful, but evil man, having abjectly failed in his toadying support of an even more evil presence elsewhere, had taken it into his head to stir up a load of shit and make...
