Thank you @Thea_Stein for clearly challenging the straw man of NHS funding models & health outcomes on @BBCr4today. Health care is expensive however delivered & politicians promoting private providers in UK as part of “solution” is either naïf or cynical #FollowTheMoney

@campbellclaret I don’t know the details of the 1997 (non)event but am aware that Mr H more recently got up and left an interview for which he appeared ill-prepared with @CosmicSkeptic
I have to say @CosmicSkeptic, the composure you showed when you were being berated by @ClarkeMicah is unbelievable He was told you wanted to discuss two topics. He agreed. He then said just 'one minute' on the first topic would have been too much.

How come @lucy_leeson in @Independent describes Ian Hislop as a “TV personality”, when, as editor of @PrivateEyeNews (with @ComputerWeekly ) he broke the story of the #PostOffceScandal YEARS BEFORE Fleet Street got interested!

@2013_Sylvius @drkeithsiau @ManCity I was similarly tacit. Am a Blue by birth. Used to go to Maine Road as a teenager. When I moved to Sunderland, I “came out” but suffered still: surrounded by Black Cats, Magpies, and Devilish Reds!

@2013_Sylvius @drkeithsiau @ManCity Joe- you never told me (when you were in Newcastle) and strangely, it never came up on ward rounds- maybe cause I seldom saw you on them!

@ActionHerbert @DD4PeoplePower @PatsyeStevenson @Fxsi0n I’ve 3 daughters. Would I tell them to give a police officer their details in these circumstances? No. Am I confident they wouldn’t be used to get further info about them, where they live, work, etc.? No. My encounters with the police are good but I’m a white middle class man.

@AaronBastani @SaulStaniforth To follow Fraser Nelson’s logic- From latest available ONS data (2019): Of UK 33 million employed, 0.3% were US citizens. I think this group is arguably disproportionately over-represented among the commentariat by her Kate’s voice alone!

Predictably #AngelaRippon on @BBCRadio4 #BroadcastingHouse hijacking the papers section and rudely taking others’ topic. This isn’t balance. #RadioOff immediately. Don’t invite her back.

@KemiBadenoch Maybe do what anyone of the rest of us might. In the first instance, contact the school? Maybe its governing body? Follow Govt recommendations: “If you’ve complained to the school and the problem has not been resolved, you can complain to Ofsted.”

@AyoCaesar Where is MSM criticism of (not quite)billionaire James Cameron’s comparison on @BBCr4today with Titanic in 1912: “a captain repeatedly ignored warnings, …deciding to carry on at high speed, leading to thousands of people losing their lives in the water”?
