I always find it puzzling when we invite someone to talk on @BBCr4today at length & ask them to explain something they've said and they take up the time they've got
(12 minutes in a lead slot as it happens) by attacking the BBC. Any thoughts @RupertLowe10?
I’ll be honest, I was barely aware of who Jason Arday was until this week. Learned a lot covering the story on Tuesday.
One thing that interests me is that some of the most senior people in British academia believed he was: a world class marathon runner, one of Britain’s most impressive charity fundraisers, an apprentice at Crystal Palace football club, a plausible snooker pro, and that he had brain surgery weeks before his viva (which meant memory loss).
The liberal intelligentsia like to think they are smarter than everyone else, but most people would hear that and think “hang on, this doesn’t really sound very possible does it”.
@AaronBastani I'm not surprised. The people coming out to bat for him are making the left look morally bankrupt. Not for the first time. I gave up on it after the antisemitism row within Labour and the trans idiocy. These lunatics have ruined leftwing politics and made them a meme.
@RealSmithyK@rpatz9@fx_commodity@FraserNelson I admire your patience, I'm done with these people. There isn't an honest bone in their bodies. We all know the difference. This isn't that deep. They do too. It's performative bs to avoid the point and derail the conversation.
@uk_ktee7484@HJB_News__ I don't know what's funnier:
People confidently correcting blatent sarcasm.
Or the same people feeling the need to because that's where we are as a society now. 🤣🤣🤣
Here is Greece Border Force firing live rounds at a small boat full of illegals and pushing them back into Turkish waters.
Can someone please explain why it seems that every other country in the world is allowed to defend their borders apart from us?
Breaking News 🚨
We can announce that Jay from the cult hit TV show 'The Inbetweeners' has been employed by Cambridge University to replace Professor Jason Arday.
@LBC I don't think either should have been arrested, let alone jailed. However, that's where we are. If a few more leftists are banged up for saying silly things then perhaps the penny may finally drop.
I see that sections of the left don’t believe Zack Polanski’s shared post is a police matter because “he deleted it.”
Well Lucy Connolly (@LucyTCWife) deleted her post quickly but they still wanted her to be locked up.
The phrase “be careful what you wish for” springs to mind.
‘Violence against women and girls is not an immigration problem.’
Deputy Green leader Rachel Millward calls out the ‘scapegoating’ and ‘demonisation’ of asylum seekers in the UK.
.@TheEconomist Editor-In-Chief @zannymb on her wide-ranging interview with @elonmusk:
"It's irresponsible for someone who has 240 million followers to propagate things that are simply not true." https://t.co/uN9YV1zYp0
Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House, has no jurisdiction over me.
I am not afraid of him.
He is a bully who did not even reply to a letter from a female Reform MP pleading for assistance with security until after I revealed it.
If this is not true then I invite him to deny it on the record rather than try and bully the very people he has let down.
Instead he briefs the press like a coward.
He is a disgrace to his office.
