Just to check, are you saying you still want a public broadcaster, just not the BBC in its current guise? As that’s a different argument to scrapping it altogether. I’d absolutely want to see changes to where they cut their funding and some of the things they still fund, I’m arguing them as...

I’m not a left winger though! I know plenty of conservatives that still realise the importance of the bbc, I’d say the same for most that are anywhere across the centre left to centre right as well as those that don’t consider themselves particularly political at all. It’s the extremes that...

I didn’t vote for Labour but nothing they’ve done has really surprised me so far, aside from the pensioners bit but even then it’s the implementation I have an issue with rather than the principle. Ultimately, taxes always were going to have to go up somehow, I’m not sure what people are...

Ultimately because there’s enough people that want to watch it and seem to enjoy it given it wins the audience awards that it does. It’s not my cup of tea but each to their own.

A lot of people only judge it on what they get out of it and like rather than the services it provides for everyone. Even though I personally don’t consume it, I thought cuts to local radio were a real shame, as well as the damage to our soft power by cutting the world service. I don’t think...

if I’m in the mood for either fish and chips or McDonald’s, then I’m way past caring what the calorie count of them are!

Getting used to it now, I’m pretty impressed so far, some nice touches in it. It’s just nice to see algorithms working based on the user again, feels like a long time ago now when Twitter used to have it.

Just been stung by nettles. £125 for a signed Bergerac photo…

Decided to sign up, quite a few accounts that I liked on Twitter have moved fully across. https://bsky.app/profile/meltonblue.bsky.social

There was absolutely nothing wrong with that bbc article to be fair, it was factually correct. He didn’t just link UPFs to obesity either.

I like them during the process of eating them and if I’m in the mood for it. The inevitable following course of McStomach afterwards is never enjoyable. Doesn’t stop me from trying it every now and again though…

It’s a lot more likely he’s done it in response to NK getting involved. There was a valid political reason not to do it before and there’s a valid political reason to do it now.

Barry Mcguigan and the lead actor from Mrs Browns Boys have to be related

Depends on your definition of multiculturalism but personally I think we’re both. On the overriding sense of Britishness, there is that in everyone I know and I’d actually say it’s equally if not stronger in those that have come from different cultures initially.

There’s a few bright lights there. Well, I’m clinging on to that hope!

They’ve always called themselves a restaurant haven’t they?

I’ve seen people argue about the Rwanda scheme but I’ve never seen anyone argue against the deportation of failed asylum seekers? Surely that’s something that everyone on any side of the political spectrum should be glad to see happening.

I loved old Twitter. Haven’t signed up yet but will be giving Bluesky a go, if it keeps its algorithms similar to old Twitter then it’ll be a success. Given how it’s been set up, I can’t see it going down a similar route to X in the future either.

It wasn’t the owner being the main culprit for doing it though. That and the for you algorithm used to work.
