Well, well, well, it looks like the dream team of @MastermindQuiz's @CliveMyrieBBC, @Digbylj and yours truly are back together at last for what promises to be one hell of a #bbcpapers. Live now and at 11:30.

[Clive Myrie @CliveMyrieBBC]

Are you ready? You know it makes sense!

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

of class, it’s not a question of accent, it’s a question of poor elocution. Don’t let it spoil your otherwise excellent performance.

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Alex Scott, please don’t play the working class card. You are worthy of much better than that! I admire & often publicly praise the adversity you faced & defeated to achieve all the success you deserve. Not sounding a g at the end of a word is wrong; period. It’s not a question

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

English Language…..Help!

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Enough! I can’t stand it anymore! Alex Scott spoils a good presentational job on the BBC Olympics Team with her very noticeable inability to pronounce her ‘g’s at the end of a word.Competitors are NOT taking part, Alex, in the fencin, rowin, boxin, kayakin, weightliftin & swimmin

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

She’s hot on the heels of Beth Rigby at Sky the Home Secretary for God’s sake! Can’t someone give these people elocution lessons? I fear that it may be aped by youngsters along the lines of the use of the moronic interrogative originally caused by “Neighbours”; on behalf of the

with open-to-inspection-by-anyone & verifiable ID? Or make the platforms responsible like publishers & then the Judges could go after Zuckerberg, Clegg & Co. All this appalling stuff would soon stop

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

A Judge orders Google to remove false allegations against alecturer from its Blogspot website. But the Judge doesn’t know who put them there! Facebook et al carry sewage every day. Surely it’s time for no-one to be allowed to post anything anywhere without providing the platforms

it happening; easy to do if they want to.

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Young volunteer penalty takers who missed get racially abused on social media. So what are you doing about it Clegg, Zuckerberg & Co? And why don’t ALL Premiership footballers boycott social media until Facebook, Twitter et al take responsibility, admit they’re publishers & stop

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Whatever they do, she’s bound to sell it as English arrogance.

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

When Manchester had high levels of Covid, Sturgeon banned Scots travelling there. No courtesy, no consultation, just dictat. (She’s good at those!). Now Dundee is “the Covid Capital of Europe” could Sturgeon please advise what the good folk of Manchester should do?

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Germany, France & Brussels gang up on the Brits again! My oh my but aren’t they sore losers!

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

140,000 spectators will be allowed at the British GP but a village hall cannot hold an evening of a few local people having a socially-distanced sing.
That’s the problem with common sense, especially amongst those who govern us; it ain’t that common!

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

A single-issue Scottish Government which is bad at governing; wouldn’t trust them to run a whelk stall let alone a Country!

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

The SNP always says that Westminster rides roughshod over Scotland & doesn’t consult them yet that’s precisely what they’ve done with imposing travel restrictions on Manchester. How’s that for blatant (but typical!) hypocrisy Sturgeon?

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Bercow said this morning that “Treating Parl’t with disdain is objectionable”. But treating the Electorate with disdain & leading the Tyranny of Parl’t to defeat the Will of the People was ok was it Mr (not Lord!!) ex-Speaker?

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Just thinking: if a title that is acceptable to the vast majority is changed to suit a tiny, unoppressed minority, where is the fairness or democracy in that?

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Perhaps the lunatics are finally in charge of the asylum, after all.

[Lord Digby Jones @Digbylj]

Please tell me this isn’t a late April Fool: St Paul’s Girl School is changing the title of Head Girl to Head of School because it’s too binary. But they’re not changing the title of the school. Whyever not? Why is one title too binary but the other isn’t?
