Baker and Brand have always been edgy. Baker's jibe was at the media portrayal of the royals, and was interpreted as being racist. Brand's attack was on the majority of pathetic selfish, self serving politicians. Humour should be a tool to provoke comment and debate. Perhaps those who are "offended" should stick to the puerile "comedy" of "Mrs Brown's Boys." Now there IS an offence...to viewers' intelligence and the formerly great tradition of BBC comedy.

Always wondered about the "logic" of rebranding GCSE grades 1 - 9, with 1 being the bottom grade, and 9 being top. Now we know why Gove's thinking was addled.

Increased poverty is the direct result of a decade of Cameron/Osborne austerity (economic stagnation) policy, which May boasted about continuing over the past three years of her premiership. Crises in our schools, NHS, increased use of food banks and more street sleepers in every town and city... 2019? Some of this society is remininscent of the Thatcher/Howe years a generation ago. Or even, Orwell's social commentary in the 1930s. Labour, I fear, have missed the boat of golden opportunity with their dithering over the big issue, opening the door for chancers from other political groups to divide the nation even more...

Mosborough Health Centre. Great staff - medics and reception.

Tory philosophy ... market forces... nowt to do wi'us. Thatcherism was overtly spiteful to the North. This lot are far more devious ... we shall do this, we shall do that, we shall give ... after years of cuts. Almost a year since May and Hammond announced Austerity was over! Liars. .

Mm... not according to Will Gompertz (BBC)..."disappointing...a bit of a bore."

21st century bear-baiting. Already wounded people being humiliated and taunted. Just because they agree to appear on the "show" doesn't make it right. Shameful.

PF ... Wish You Were Here... My funeral song... lol

Checked out local travel today on RS on M1. There was a "quiz" between Toby and another presenter. Now, I'm assuming this was genuine: Which year was the first motorised bus service introduced? (10-year latitude allowed): Other presenter - 1991. Motorised buses, 1991. I kid you not, gentle listener, as TF might say. Oh dear. Subterranean depths going further at RS.

Right - I can see the point in the humour of the media portrayal of royals as being expected to perform, being controlled. And, I did not know the mother was dual heritage. Does that make me a racist if I snigger at the media/royal satire? Confused.

Just watching the abysmal Amy Garcia reporting on Tour de Yorkshire on "Look North." She cannot cope with polysyllabic words. Tonight was almost as bad as the time she pronounced "debilitating" as "debilitititating." Also pauses irrationally, stumbling over words. Retraining I think.

Gormless, witless, pointless. Apparently Clueless is about to pollute the airwaves later today.

Don't hold yer hopes up.

And do you know what? RS think it's good radio. Just like the Saturday cooking spot ... oops ... discarded. Tripe.

Just listened to Wilder's interview when he was asked about the next match against Rotherham. Apparently Wednesday equalised in the "115TH" minute. 90 + 10 minutes of injury time = 100 minutes Chris. Getting nervous?
