This may be one of the best explanations of male depression that I’ve ever heard. This is explains why guys are suicidal and their friends, parents, and/or wives don’t even know it. This is also why a man can be married with kids, great job, etc. & feel lonely & depressed.
The BBC is set to scrap Radio 4 Extra. 📻 Losing this treasure trove of classic comedy, archive drama, and timeless storytelling would be a massive blow for millions of us.

A very worthy campaign. Dementia is indeed a very cruel disease. But my experiences aren’t quite the same as Sarah’s here. My Dad had dementia too but I didn’t feel relief when he died, quite the opposite. It was heartbreaking. Even though he had dementia he was still happy in his own way, still had a twinkle in his eye and he always knew who me and my Mum were.
I miss him terribly (quite often the grief is overwhelming) and would give everything in the world to have him back, even with dementia.
Today the @DailyMail, together with the @alzheimerssoc, launches a campaign to help tackle this horrible disease, and I have written about my father, who died earlier this year. Please donate if you can - details below. https://t.co/7GwwABQa8H
Sunday Morning panel 08.11.26.
A former editor of the Financial Times & a current journalist at the Financial Times, with a Sunday Times columnist hosting. And for balance a journalist who once upon a time worked for the Lib Dems.
Good luck to @OxCityFC ahead of their FA Cup tie with Leicester City tonight. One of the biggest games in their history.
I wrote about supporting Oxford City & the joy of non-league football for the @spectator a few years back. What a shame though that the match isn’t on free to view tv. Hardly any FA Cup games are now.

Privatisation of British Library:
To be asset stripped, destroyed like water companies & Royal Mail:
BL management will close reading rooms, converting them into paid, private spaces operated by commercial company.
They propose outsourcing in-house security.
Stop this rip-off.
Absolutely.
I don’t think anyone seriously believes that Brand’s prosecution and conviction shows ‘no one is above the law’.
We all know that sadly that isn’t true.
@NeilClark66 Yes, well said. Brand’s been found guilty, so be it. Was he prosecuted without fear or favour, without passion or prejudice? I have little doubt that, had he been ‘establishment’, a fraction of the investigative resources deployed would have been devoted to him.
#Culture will bring a replacement & so it goes on&on We all had a life now we watch Propaganda sent to us via TV every night We stopped meeting & talking to real people We are all pretending we have a better life when the opposite is true A SecretCulture has caused this @CataPaul2
It’s worth remembering that when Russell Brand was at his very worst, behaviour-wise he was promoted and lauded. He was never off our tv sets or the airwaves. He was part of the ‘zeitgeist’ of 2000s ‘comedy’- crude and lewd, no inhibitions. It was a case of out with the old, in with the new.
It was only when he began to get ideas above his station in the 2010s and write books like ‘Revolution’ that he became the subject of scorn & ridicule by the ‘Inside the Tent’ crowd.
We’re all expected to forget this now.
@NeilClark66 Trump basically got too cocky after the Venezuela operation, and expected Iran to be a quick decapitation strike leaving it a failed state ripe for new leaders.
He completely blew it and is suffering the consequences.
@Antonio53949028 Are you saying Trump is still very popular with voters and/or the Iran War didn’t cost him & the Republicans electorally?
That’s clueless.
Here we go. ‘A very small price to pay’ say Trump and those who pushed for this war of choice against Iran. But it’ll be us paying the price. We all need to say ‘No!’
