“Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”

@mrjamesob I can tell this is gonna be a good call.

[Dr Richard P @BigDPearon]

@jackwhitehall obviously it's:
Shag the Terminator
Marry Wall-E
C3PO off a cliff

Tough, as I'm a massive star wars fan, but Wall-E is too kind, and I'm pretty sure either of the other options with the terminator result in my death.

This is the kind of satire it feels just *so* refreshing to now have back. The script wrote itself for the past 10 or so years.

[Dr Richard P @BigDPearon]

Fully agree with this. I was actually impressed. That was genuine; authenticity cannot be faked.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

That resignation speech just now by Rishi Sunak was by far the best speech he’s ever made -

- gentle in tone, thoughtful, kind, grateful, humble. With an inclusive vision of Britain. It was the most human we’ve ever seen him.

If only he had governed in that tone.

[Dr Richard P @BigDPearon]

OK, so the story is: "man joins face eating leopard party and is shocked when the leopard eats someone's face".

Credit to @mrjamesob for that analogy. And, to a degree - fair play to the candidate for calling it out and stepping down, but he must have been naive, at best.

Could @Arsenal do 6 away from home, again? That'd be a hell of a statement. #BURARS

@mrjamesob @LBC I don't think they should be named, but the one counterargument to that vie is: what if later in life, when released, they have a relationship (friend or partner) with Joe public, and they don't reveal their past? In that, doesn't Joe public have a right to know?

Never heard an applause like this on #bbcqt either.
