All over the place on #R4BH earlier…. #KemiBadEnoch

Ah Gove advises Starmer to block Burnham… hmm. Me thinks he sees more advantage in advising Starmer against his own interests to create more splits in the party.
Hold him closer rather than block him would be my advice. We want talent on the pitch.

Ken does disappoint so often. You'd really think he could look at an immigration graph. #r4bh
Peaceful protest in support of stopping Israel's genocide: police arrest 890
Violent protest in support of xenophobia leading to serious injuries: police arrest 25

Clearly we should give 9-year-olds the vote, then suspend it from about 15 to 23 or so

What happens later in the year when the weather is absolutely horrendous? I can't see Eva Perón singing into buckets of sideways rain.

Current temperature in Leyton, east London. Same inside and out.

Margaret Thatcher, milk snatcher, in a lovely blue suit and a pearl necklace, earrings ensemble.
Kneecap once said "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP" (they later apologised)
I have issues with both sentences. Killing public servants, even ones you hate, is barbarism.
Secondly, this is a dead Tory. Is she good?

On #r4bh 'slow radio' slot, they played a clip of a car's proximity sensors playing a tune as it drove down a very narrow lane. When my wife first got such a car, she thought it was playing her a 'welcome home' jingle when she parked it in our very narrow drive.

Who is this ‘public’ that feels let down about immigration? #r4bh
So the best way to get ‘young men’ to fight for the UK is to tell them lies about history. That the Empire was a force for good and our city and town centres weren’t built on the backs of slaves. And this opinion not even questioned. #r4BH
BBC yet again giving free reign to the far right even on a Sunday morning. #r4BH
The £200 he was paid is equivalent to £2,700 in 2025 teens. Not mega bucks either #R4BH www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-pol...
David Bowie wasn't a "big name" in 1970! #R4BH
The song for #DavidBowie stranded in #Stockport has to be Simon & Garfunkel's Homeward Bound - the lyrics are so right! #R4BH @bbcpaddy
Hearing things. Paddy O'Connell, esteemed presenter of BH on BBC Radio 4, wonders, in parallel with the grooming gangs controversy, would it be regarded as racist for prisoners serving terms for terrorism offences to be denied access to pans of hot cooking oil?

Meanwhile, former Tory MP, Charles Walker, seems to be suggesting it takes talent to scare the shit out of people with disabilities who rely on PIP as their income.
#R4BH
Someone said "true facts" on #R4BH
Since 2015 the meaning of the word 'fact' seems to have changed. Driven by the relativist turn originating in the USA.
The following is no longer a fact:
'Something that is known to have happened or to exist, especially something for which proof exists, or about which there is information.'
#R4BH
Good to hear Margaret Macdonald on #R4BH this morning talking about Trump and Canada.
What a load of tosh. Sod Derek and his poorly-made case to save the phone box. "Not everyone has a mobile phone, you know”. Yes they do Derek, and those who don't aren't forming a queue at your phone box. Ask BT how many calls were made at that phone box the last decade. I bet few or none. #R4BH
If you ever encounter an elderly person bemoaning the Beeching Cuts, tell them they should have bloody used the trains more then. #broadcastinghouse #r4bh
Listening to #r4BH
Not only is the culture war real.
It’s necessary.
It’s just a rename and repositioning of class war. And 60 yrs later, this is even more relevant.
Outrageous claim on #R4BH that the Old Vic’s production of A Christmas Carol is the first to introduce a narrator when any fule kno that the Muppets did it in *1992*
Interesting fact from Broadcasting House #r4BH on @BBCRadio4 this morning.
If you listen to the chime of Big Ben on FM radio, you will hear the chimes a fraction of a second before the people on the bank of the Thames hear it.
Oh, the utter joy of slow radio, more than a minute of Settle-Carlisle to soothe our souls please #r4bh
