Programme maker turned furniture maker. Proud of the good things the people of this country have done, but not of the bad things.

Scholz is sending a message to Zelensky by making a phone call to Putin? Isn’t diplomacy a wonderful thing? Like a children’s game but using dead people as counters. #r4today

“Trump will learn from the mistakes of his 1st term” by only hiring people who agree with him.

I will maintain,
Until my dying day, Sir,
That whatsoever king shall reign,
I'll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.

Nothing changes

@JamieJones77 Genius.

Yeah, hate the Nanny State. We should be allowed to drive on whatever side of the road we like. #r4today

Might I suggest that BBC presenters ask representatives of Israel why groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah exist and whether they really believe that there is no reason whatsoever for Palestinians and their supporters to feel they are victims of a great injustice? #wato

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

@mikestanford01 Quite.

Perhaps the way to deter companies from breaking sanctions on Russia would be to imprison their board members, confiscate their assets and close the companies down? #r4today

Today’s forecast for Norfolk on BBC Weather. Nothing about it on #r4today weather though. Um…..

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

@KemiBadenoch Might be nice if you also said sorry to the country for the appalling mess you and your colleagues made of the last 14 years.

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

#r4today presenters allow US govt reps to say Israel did absolutely nothing to provoke Hezbollah rocket attacks without challenge. Are we supposed to have forgotten Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank and its illegal siege of Gaza?

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

Robert Jenrick. What a contemptible man. #r4today

The big question about Starmer accepting freebies is why he and his advisers ever thought it wouldn’t be exploited by the Tory press and #r4today presenters. It shows astonishing stupidity and naivety - not good traits in a PM.

Seven years to tell us what every #grenfell resident already knew about the arrogance, incompetence and dishonesty of social housing landlords and their contractors BEFORE the fire.

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

“Pride in our history”….? Indiscriminate pride? Our history contains amazing achievements and appalling actions. It would be nice to hear some intelligent discussion on #r4today.

So what this water company man is saying is that private ownership of the water industry only works if investors don’t have to invest in the structure of the industry. Hmmm… #r4today

Just catching up on Sounds; good news about the Scilly bees. #broadcastinghouse

The #omnium reminds me of #morningtoncrescent

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

@philippachilds Yes. Perhaps that would be best.

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

BECTU rep says the BBC should have stopped paying Huw Edwards as soon as he was arrested. Strange that Amol didn’t ask her whether she would support that action if it involved one of her members. #r4today

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

@philippachilds You are quite clear. You do not believe in the right of innocence until proven guilty. An employer’s internal inquiry cannot judge whether an employee is guilty or innocent. That is for the courts. Period.

[Robert Cooper @RobertCooperLB]

@philippachilds So if a person is arrested on suspicion of committing a crime you, a trade union official, believe an employer has the right to dismiss that person, even though they have not been found guilty? Really?
