This may sound trite, but re the BBC issue - one thing I have learned as a lawyer involved in many cases of messy human situations is that you rarely know and can pretty much never predict what is happening until you actually *know*, i.e. you see detailed accounts from the individuals involved and documentary evidence.
And in pretty much 100% of situations, the truth is unexpected, often stranger than you anticipated - and invariably exposes the expectations you have (without realising it) wrongly placed onto the situation, sometimes based on your own prejudices.
Also, family situations can be so complex and difficult.
So, whilst it is important that the BBC are held up to scrutiny, there is clearly at least one potentially very vulnerable individual involved, and a large dollop of social media/press-driven 'we must know NOW and SOMEBODY must be to BLAME', and the truth will probably end up being more complicated and difficult than people want it to be.
@jennyeclair@JudithLund It’s probably not much use at this time of night but a different bottle/teat may work better. Also wear some of mums perfume or one of her scarfs/jumpers.
@BBCTheArchers shocked to hear the use of the term ‘nitty gritty’ twice in last nights episode. The phrase has a dubious history and I’m sure there were other phrases that could have conveyed the same meaning.
@Tesco order cancelled on the day it’s due. No slots available for home delivery until Monday now. Not the level of service I expect for a delivery pass
@BethRowe1 👏🏼👏🏼I’ve never worked so hard or found home/school lines so blurred. Being ‘closed’ or ‘off school’ language in the media needs to change.
We’re open and teaching from home as well as in school. Hope you’re all well.
@dawncruttenden I’m 44. My sisters are 41 and 39. 5 years ago my mum tried to stop stockings as we’re ‘too old and don’t live at home anymore’. There was a near riot. We still get stockings.
