@swanseabarman @richardosman You can manoeuvre a gliding plane. It's called aerodynamics.

@dmcheshire2003 @richardosman Personally I would not take a ten year old to see it. There's no real blood and gore, but the horrors of war are very evident.

@Tonester_7 @richardosman No, just the bravery and heroism of the men at the sharp end

@paynenotes1 @richardosman Please pass my thanks on to him.

@clarebalding Genuine question. If you look behind the obvious, looking at different workloads, responsibilities etc, is there a real gender inequality?

@Clowndro It leads to the end of civilisation as we know it...

Andrea Leadsom, leader of the House of Commons, refers to 19th century novelist Jane Austen as "one of our greatest living authors"

@bertiebear357 @Peston If ITV, C4, C5, Sky etc etc pay going rate for newsreaders, how can BBC pay a lot less and expect to retain talent? Same in any business.

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@bertiebear357 @Peston And as someone who has video training, it is quite hard to read an autocue to a bank of cameras and audience of millions. Try it, then judge

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@bertiebear357 @Peston Wendy, I would be the first to pay doctors/nurses/firemen more than newsreaders. But the BBC alone can't change free market economics.

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@TJMSparling @bertiebear357 @Peston They compete with other all other TV/internet options. Must demonstrate to Govnt their programming is relevant and interesting to public.

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@bertiebear357 @Peston Some footballers get paid £200,000 per week. CEO's get millions. Pop stars earn vast sums. It's not the BBC. It's free market economics.

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@TJMSparling @bertiebear357 @Peston BBC compete in the marketplace for talent. If you want good TV on the BBC they are forced to compensate talent at market rate. Capitalism.

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@bertiebear357 @Peston It's not the BBC you have a problem with. It's free market capitalism. Obscene salaries everywhere. Direct your indignation appropriately.

@RealMrBlue @phranqueigh @LagunaBeachPOV In a closed system that's true. Human body not a closed system. Food interacts in a complex way with the body whilst being digested/absorbed

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@bertiebear357 @Peston Why indefensible? BBC known worldwide to be exceptional. They work in a marketplace. Leave 'em to manage their own budgets.

[Martin Lewis @thelasttree]

@phranqueigh @LagunaBeachPOV Sadly, it doesn't seem to work like that....otherwise people would be eating merengues and cream and losing weight. I have tried this.

@Ravi64350330 @ModernBuddhism I thought Sanyasis was a Hindu concept?

@AngryTheInch Yes, summer is too loud and bright after a while...
