English teacher, magpie mentality

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

In these globally turbulent times one man has regularly acted as a wise, thoughtful and witty guide for listeners of @BBCr4today. The former Head of MI6 Sir Alex Younger has analysed, explained and contextualised the actions of Trump, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollahs. After he first appeared in the programme I was lucky enough to get to know Alex and call him my friend. I’m desperately sad to hear the news I’ve long feared was coming. Alex has died after months trying to cheat the
prognosis he was given whe. They discovered the tumour he nicknamed “Putin”.
We’re always told not to speak of a fight with cancer because it risks implying that only those strong enough survive. I understand that. I really do but sod it. Alex fought so hard to find a treatment to give him a little longer to be with Sarah and their lovely children. And he used every last minute of the short time he did have to be with family and friends and to do what he spent a lifetime in the shadows doing - using his intelligence to understand the world, to explain it but, above all, to keep us all safe.

When I worked for Nigel I cannot remember him being in the slightest bit interested in this subject or meeting any survivors.

Neither can Jane Collins, the lady who did the work. In fact, he all but abandoned her .

@BBCNewsnight they look so uncomfortable outside - it seems a bit ridiculous

@EdwardEGibbon I really enjoyed it thank you. Teaching A level, coursework situation hopeless because of AI. Then I think some students always had parents etc to write it, but now cheating has been democratised.

The Ten Women of Shiraz were hanged 42 years ago in 1983 by the Islamic Republic in Iran.
We will never forget their courage and what they defended with their lives.

Hi all, all my articles so far since I left the Guardian/Observer are in the link in the next tweet. I’d put the link in this tweet, but algorithms 😠. Many of them are free to read 🤓you can ignore the pay to read ones.

This week’s column “My husband ended our seventeen year marriage. I should have ended it before then really, but I suppose I loved him. There were naked picture of his clients on his phone, he is a personal trainer, he met other women for drinks and probably sex.”👇

Please report "sorry we are experiencing unusually high call volumes" messages, we are testing if firms play this for EVERY call.

If you call a bank, broadband, mobile, credit card, energy, water, sewerage firm, pls take 30s to report it via https://t.co/iwHdA6L0NL

This is our final data collection before we contact the worst offenders (if it's a lie that the volumes are unusual it may well breach the FCA consumer duty) . It's unfair on callers, and unfair on call centre workers who bear the brunt of people's frustrations.

I need all the retweets you can manage, thank you.

@daisychristo I do agree with you in principle, just thinking about all the time they're not at school. School hours aren't long. I finished the book btw - need to get it on the curriculum!

@somefilmstudies @RealGeoffBarton @BarbaraBleiman @tes Spot on - this is what I meant by feature spotting bulldozing of thought. You said it better!
