Have they run out of names? Bob owns a dog named Bobby. A cat named Cato. A baby named 'the baby'. Other names are still available. Rover and Fiddles for example. #TheArchers

Having had only 18 hours sleep since yesterday, Luna collapsed into an exhausted heap. #DoNotDisturb

Helen the most insensitive person ever. Thanks to all your hard work Tracey I can take my kids on a day out your kids could never have had. She increased the number of cows by 33% #TheArchers

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

Dear Jazza Lovely as you are, no one needs you whittering on about inconsequential stuff to do with pigs when they are learning to drive. A gentle, slow down, indicate, handbreak is ok as a reminder. Don't screetch it angrily when they forget. Brad - get a proper driving instructor. #TheArchers

Just Zia Yusuf having a pop at his parents.

Just imagine how much disinformation and micro targeting £72m gets you… Shame on the leaders who did nothing to protect democracy from the assault coming its way …as if we learnt nothing from Brexit.

I've waited years for that line. Thank you, Jolene. "Get outta my pub." #TheArchers #ArchEnders

Ed “Hell yes I’m tough enough” Milliband versus Ed “give me some duct tape, a precision screwdriver and 15 minutes alone with him” Milliband.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

I sense plumbing noises are on the way. schlooop, schwolp, spluop Next week: Harrison has to explain away the black eye abd bruising Kenton gave him. #TheArchers

This lemur seems to have figured out a way to express its desire to be touched.

Spent the day on Substack still getting pushed stories of Jason. Left Twitter after foolishly visiting it in passing. My studied conclusion: THESE GHOULS ARE FUCKING BAT SHIT CRAZY PROPONENTS OF PHRENOLOGY. I NEED A DARK ROOM AND SILENCE. Mighr just read Okello instead.

Lillyson Harrilly What ... you've not even submitted papers for divorce yet. Bit soon. Bit tasteless. #TheArchers I do not approve.

When I see commentators using terms like “DEI” I immediately suspect that they’re trying to ignite a US inspired (and maybe funded?) culture war here. Because the acronym used in the UK is EDI - equality, diversity, inclusion - linked to the equality act 2010. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/1...

I'd say "Something for nothing" culture is getting paid £100,000 a year of public money, plus expenses, for a job that you then fail to turn up to for months on end

On BBC Radio 4's Moral Maze tonight: “Slavery - Right or Wrong?” Some people say it’s morally wrong. On the other hand, it makes a tonne of money. On the panel: Edward Colston, King Leopold II, Tommy Robinson and Matt Goodwin. Join us as we discuss one of the great moral dilemmas of the day.

It's a pity Jason Arday wasn't a rightwing journalist arrested for beating his pregnant girlfriend. The obituaries would have been somewhat more sympathetic then.

The British media hounded a man to his death claiming it was in the public interest. Is investigating that story in the public interest?

The problem tends to be not that institutional equality work has become too radical, but that organisations have become extremely adept at domesticating its radical implications. Lee Jasper. leejaspersnr.substack.com/p/white-fail...

White Failure Is Personal. Black Failure Becomes Political.

Proffesor Jason Arday has questions to answer, but his mistakes must not become an indictment of Black academics, EDI or the legitimacy of Black advancement.

The very media who have hounded Jason Arday to death have spent decades legitimising Andrew Wakefield’s lies and David Starkey’s racism.

Desperately sad news about Jason Arday, hounded to his death by a media witch hunt initiated by an actual Nazi.

Jason Arday has been found dead after being subjected to an endless media campaign fueled by racism and far right bigotry that drove him from his job. Might as well state what happened out loud.

The press were acting with such glee in their onslaught against Jason Arday, while they give a pass to much worse behaviour, for reasons that ultimately boil down to racism.

The same UK media that hounded Jason Arday to his death were last week sharing amusing anecdotes about how Rod Liddle's copy was full of lies.

You had one job (sacking Shabana Mahmood)

"Shabana Mahmood staying as Home Secretary to presumably continue her appalling record of performative cruelty towards migrants and refugees is a warning sign that Burnham has not learnt the lessons from Starmer's failure," says Zack Polanski

Ok. So .. I've never seen Monty and didn't realise he was a doberman. We all know however sweet, those dogs are, they are dogs. He's guilty unless he has an alibi. #TheArchers
