@NicolaSturgeon Reminds me of an alleged quote from HM the Queen. 'When I do my official visits the only smell I can recall is that of wet paint'.

Some day I’ll tell Blake about the nice old gent who calmed him down when he had a meltdown in the supermarket. Sad to hear about Jack Charlton’s passing, RIP Jack.

@DavidLammy Open both eyes - you might just see a few looters as is always the case but people like you only see what promotes your position.

@ProfKarolSikora The Libraries are full of books written by 'historians ' who, with time for thought and the benefit of hindsight, would have fought the battles so differently - if only they had been in charge. We are following the one game the British are the world leaders at -- THE BLAME GAME!

'I haven’t had a reaction to anything like this since I wrote Hymns and Arias back in the early 70s.'

@maxboyceMBE has written a special poem about these troubled times and we're honoured he performed it so beautifully on the Roy Noble show...
