Kirstie Allsopp says detached houses should be banned because they are not 'environmentally practical' and lead to loss of community feeling, according to an interview in Mail. Posh people always seem to know what's best for the rest of us, don't they?.

Let’s be clear- the new vaccine announced by Pzfizer and Biotech was trialled by 44,000 people on three continents - and linking it to Thalidomide is just plain wrong. If you don’t want to be vaccinated that’s fine but don’t put out lies to frighten others.

I am ok, but it was a bit of a shock. I don't know a single person who would get pleasure from driving up to a woman walking by herself on a quiet road by the sea and shouting abuse at her. But maybe I haven't lived!.

Andy Murray breaks down and cries as he faces up to retirement. Heartbreaking for him but so many workers don’t have a choice or any cash in the bank.

Firework hell! Nov 4 and raining but still the morons are setting them off. Badger the Border terrier has been sick twice and is still shaking, I stupidly hoped that because so many people got dogs during Covid we might have less FIREWORKS. How dumb was that dream!.

I went for a quiet walk by the sea in Kent this afternoon. A car suddenly drove up behind me, the man behind the wheel screamed I HATE YOU, WE ALL HATE YOU, YOU ARE STUPID and when I tried walk away he turned round and spat out YOU WILL GO DOWN. He's driving a grey Golf.

Just went in Tesco N1 no customers under 30 wearing masks including two council employees who couldn’t care less-what can the staff do? If the government bring in a rule to protect us then they should have thought about how to enforce it.

You can tell how civilised a society is by how it treats trees- Plymouth council chopped down 129 trees IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT for a 'regeneration' project and to install cameras. Apparently cameras work better on 'new' trees. Soon old people will be culled for looking untidy.

When I said in the indie that children should be regarded as state assets of course I don’t mean the state owns them! The state should invest in the next generation instead of penny pinching. To all the trolls, try reading the whole column before wasting your time trashing me.

I despair- a choir which has existed since 1924 and given huge pleasure faces the chop. The BBC plans to disband the BBC Singers - the only full-time professional choir in the UK. 20 performers will be out of a job as well as support staff. Football pundits, on the other hand. .

The beeb are also demanding 20% cuts from their wonderful three orchestras. Sadly, music lovers aren't generally as shouty as football pundits, but this time they need to rise up and fight this cultural vandalism. The BBC says they're 'prioritising quality and impact' HOW?.

Of course Murray has been a wonderful sportsperson and well rewarded for his unique talent. But if more men felt able to show their emotions then perhaps his tears would not be regarded as so newsworthy.

Sinead was utterly unpredictable, enchanting, and special, extraordinary in concert. When her manager Steve (my pal)was dying with bladder cancer in 2001, Sinead and I moved into his hotel in Los Angeles for his final days. Now Saint Sinead's gone- if only she'd been cherished xx.
