@HLTCO I think at least not broadcasting from one of the host countries seems a mistake. They could have done it in a less extravagant way than ITV & it wouldn’t have been a talking point. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Ben Firth @benfirth]

Made some wicked memories in this venue. Glad to see it back ❤️

@camille_moscow Let that be a warning @warriorofgkhan 😂

Right, who’s gonna be the first to mod the Swatch x AP collab with a bracelet ? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #RoyalPop @SwatchUK @AudemarsPiguet

Anyone implying the @metpoliceuk did anything wrong when detaining a terrorist who’s just stabbed two people and is clearly not giving up his knife, needs to give their head a wobble. Give those officers the respect they deserve 👊🏼

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Watch as police officers confront a man suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack in north London where two men were stabbed.

The suspect refused to show his hands, was violent and continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.

@ReadingFC Decent Statement from Rob tbh… See out the season and address stuff that needs dealing with in the off season. Solidified L1 for next year, regroup and go again. Supporters need to back it

[Ben Firth @benfirth]

@shinjukutheif1 Ha! Welcome back!

[Ben Firth @benfirth]

We are stoked to be partnering with Sancho's Dirty Laundry to bring distribution to Australia and the surrounding region. If you have not yet secured your exclusive first edition, head over to their shop in Braddon, ACT, or visit their website! #Canberra #bookstoread #Motörhead

[Ben Firth @benfirth]

Where is the common sense here? Of course @waitrose cannot encourage staff to put themselves at risk to confront shoplifters. However, dismissing an employee with 17 years of loyal service for acting in the moment to protect the business he cares about feels ridiculous. #waitrose

Fantastic working with @NickyAACampbell and the team on our fantastic new podcast ‘Don’t Say A Word’ brought to you from Factory Originals and 6ft6 Productions for BBC Radio 5 Live. Listen, subscribe and, (do say a word) by letting us know what you think! 👊🏼

[Nicky Campbell @NickyAACampbell]

A word on my new podcast - Don't Say a Word. The thing is we live in a world of judgement. Taking offence is a new endorphin and it seems to be addictive. Some people are looking for opportunuties to take offence.

We explore changing attitudes and they do change at the speed of light. Don't say a word, don't watch a film, don't read a book, don't laugh at that joke, don't like that artist and on and on it goes. 'Woke' is a crap word. It's imprecise and meaningless. Who isn't 'woke' on some issues and not on others?

Words have power and sometimes become unsayable and are no longer acceptable. Words which just a few years [months] ago were seen as ok are now in the amber or even red zones. Reputations are shredded and torched. Flaming torches and pitchforks? Maybe. Sometimes it seems like a witch hunt or is this actually just accountability - a kick back at those who deserve it?
People don’t so much say God is on our side as 'History' is on our side. That's quite a claim.

We surely need to be more thoughtful or do we need to be careful not to overthink it?

Another great and recurring theme for us is the Art v the Artist. Great art from BAD or allegedly bad [sometimes that's enough] people. Sometimes people are too quick to condemn but sometimes too slow - if they are adored and deeply woven into peoples lives. Then, it is seen as a blasphemy. I'm sure you can think of examples.

And - we want you to get involved. This is about all of us. Our worlds.
[email protected] - feedback but also make suggestions and maybe even come on and talk about it with some of your friends. Have mics will travel. We'll get the drinks. Tell us what you make of some of these issues.
The first two episodes are out.another next week.

@rfc_ollie What a legend... Is he still alive? Surely deserves a nice little comfy seat next to @RCouhig or @ToddTrosclair at the next game to recover 🤣

[Ben Firth @benfirth]

@TalkReading @ElmParkRoyals @TimDellor Love it @RCouhig 🍻

[Ben Firth @benfirth]

@ReadingFC Straight from the horses mouth.. What a refreshing change. Great message & thank you @RCouhig

@ReadingFC Everyone calling out Hunty needs to give their heads a wobble... It's game ONE with a brand new squad. Chill out & start enjoying the fact we have a club to support. Morecambe situation sound familiar? #readingfc 🔵⚪
