I seem to have a lot of extra followers. More surprising given that I haven't posted anything for months. And months.

@wat_thee_deuce_ Still have, stuck to the walls with superglue I think.

I'm calling for the RESIGNATION of the BBC Board Director Robbie Gibb, former Tory Comms boss & co-founder of right wing GB NEWS, on grounds of lack of impartiality...quotes from 2020 @BylineTimes

WTF? *Please* BBC, stop capitulating to this cynical, divisive, populist Tory Government - stop letting yourselves be used to stoke these culture wars https://t.co/zwlymnRhbv

@IanWright0 Good for you.

Labour: “The BBC’s cowardly decision to take Gary Lineker off air is an assault on free speech in the face of political pressure. Tory politicians lobbying to get people sacked for disagreeing with Government policies should be laughed at, not pandered to. BBC should rethink.”

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

The BBC are doing a terrific job of being impartial towards anyone with right wing views.

I see Richard Sharp has shown Gary the red card. Well played mate, I don’t think anyone will make the connection between you being a Tory donor and getting rid of an England hero because in his own time and on his own account he said something demonstrably true.

This is an utter disgrace. A breach of the BBC Charter by a crony Chair who got a job through a crony loan should be standing down instead. #ImWithGary

@GaryLineker Thank you for saying what millions of us were thinking.

@squeezyjohn Bought/brought. You don't bruy something do you? Oh and has and had definitely start with an 'h', not an 'a'.

Bloody fireworks. Rescue dog here absolutely terrified.

[Andy Comfort @andycomfort]

Almost ALL staff on BBC Local Radio have been placed at risk of redundancy today. Many may be moved to new roles. ALL presenter roles are closing. Presenters will have to re-apply for new on air jobs. I think it would be fair to say we are stunned and upset here.

Bluntly ,the immigration numbers have grown bigger since Brexit not smaller. The reason is not “ marauding criminal gangs “ ( more than 80% whose cases are heard are ultimately granted asylum) but a break down in relations with France and others ..

[CARVE Surfing Magazine @CarveMag]

‘90% rain’ yeah…”SWW sewage discharge this morning at StAgnes. Unbelievable. A dad just got out this arvo and said to his 3 year old ‘Best wash the sewage off…’ It is still stinking. No way am I surfing in that.

Truss being so useless, and Johnson having made himself the centre of attention for a couple of days and made millions feel sick at the idea he might come back, means Sunak as PM will be greeted with relief by many. But this is one very right wing guy we are talking about. 1/3

[Penny Stephens 💙 @cornishpenny]

Mark Kermode holding back on what he really feels.

[Mark Kermode @KermodeMovie]

The unspeakable backing the unelectable. F**k off both of you, you sneering privileged knobheads.

[Penny Stephens 💙 @cornishpenny]

@AlexZhibrik @stephenfry @BorisJohnson And don't forget,@AlexZhibrik, that he was largely funded by Russia when he was elected.

[Penny Stephens 💙 @cornishpenny]

@AlexZhibrik @stephenfry @BorisJohnson I think any government here would support Ukraine. Johnson is a complete liability.

[Penny Stephens 💙 @cornishpenny]

I can't believe even Tories would be stupid enough to vote to bring back Johnson, who was the architect of the shambles we find ourselves in.
