@g_gosden Common sense is essential and she has it in abundance, and it is far more valuable than a narrow perspective where experts think they know it all ...... THEY DON'T.

@Eyeswideopen69 The statistics suggest, no more, and quite probably many fewer.

@JamesMacCleary We've always been a country that has led, it partly defines us .... I wonder whether you understand that ?

@GeorgeFoulkes If the Spanish or Portuguese want to impose such a law it is of course they're prerogative to do so, of course they won't because they want the contribution of ex pat Brits.

@TalkTV @JuliaHB1 Surely it's the BBC who are destroying 104 years of broadcasting history ?

[Simon Francis @SimonFr97766103]

@MarkSeddon1962 Your'e right it is owned by us, and we want to sell it off and start again !!

@davidyelland What has happened "earning respect" ?

@DamianLow3 Patriotism is wanting what is best for your country and the defunding of the BBC IS currently the best option for the country.

@timfarron But what if "everyone thinks they're on the opposite side" is a product of, at least, a couple of decades of "brainwashing" as many of us maintain.

[Simon Francis @SimonFr97766103]

@ThatTimWalker Why would we want to defend the BBC ? It shouldn't need defending and it patently isn't "Our BBC" as they keed trying to brainwash us into thinking !!!

@EsheruKwaku No, they all came from their own countries and cultures to fight in foreign lands.

@michaelwhite The problem there lies in your belief that the edited version accurately reflected his attitude ...... it patently didn't in a lot of peoples opinion. Anyway ..... Why move away from the purely factual, why ?

[Simon Francis @SimonFr97766103]

@nazirafzal It's their job.

[Simon Francis @SimonFr97766103]

@GyllKing Yes, the driver and crew did well ..... but ALL of this will have been laid out in a protocol of actions in an emergency. It will be practised ..... and anyway, it's common sense.

@jonburkeUK 300k homes for 2 hours is pretty useless isn't it ? What you mean is no cup of tea for me if I get home after 7 in the evening ?

[Simon Francis @SimonFr97766103]

@Sillyshib Your statement could equally well apply to the Labour government as it could to all the elements of oposition politics !!!
