#bbcqt why don't the BBC have a tax the billionaires special

Very much a Christmas season thing for me. But, I do love them.

Today I ate the first pigs in blankets of the season. They were yummy. Don't tell my doctor.

Yeah. I half suspect that's true.

Facial recognition technology.
Will they be buying that from China?

Face the truth. We've devised a world for ourselves that drives many of us mad.

"You think I brought this all on myself."
Actually George. Yes. We do.
#thearchers

Gods. This is a bigger bore than the flippin' panto.
#thearchers

Was that Pip doing a Christmas cow?
Because that sounds pretty Pip.
#thearchers

Sensible swerve from Brad.
#thearchers

George is lucky Hannah didn't demand he fuck right off.
#thearchers

Hmm. Does Brad have the level of guile required to offer George active sympathy in the circumstances?
#thearchers

I agree, it's not much. But, you've got to have the motivation and get round to arranging it. I can understand why a lot of people don't bother.

Luckily (for some values of luckily) I'm in the NHS's priority group. So my GP clinic goes to quite a lot of effort to get a jab in my arm.

Neither have I. But, the report of the record number (this early in the season) of hospitalisations made me wonder. Later in the piece they said, no, it's fine. Phew! :-)

They've just answered my question.
Glad I had my vaccine.
Thanks #bbcpm

Is there a problem with this year's flu vaccine?
(Wondering how worried I should be.)
#bbcpm

You should always keep an open mind.

I expect those people in Tunbridge Wells are all disgusted.
#c4news

I'm surprised they haven't got George doing it.
#thearchers

Just for the record: these H&S failures should NOT be counted as a Brexit benefit. #c4news

A Grundy classic.

There's something intrinsically funny about wooden octopuses.
#thearchers

Under the sea??
Has Tony just watched Back to the Future again?
#thearchers

Oh. It's the turkey plucker.
I did wonder what position Clarrie was being got into.
#thearchers

"Tony makes his pitch."
Cricket season is over. So it must be choir practice.
#thearchers

Having this conversation elsewhere, I'm told that the EHRC has issued misleading guidance on the ruling. (I've also heard the current EHRC head described as a transphobe. )

A lot of people seem to have misunderstood that High Court ruling on sex, which applied only to the application of the Equality Act (2010).
If the WI is barring trans-women, that is a choice they are making. Nothing in law tells them they have to do that.
#bbcpm

I suppose we could compromise and have twizzlers.

Please don't tell us about what GBeebies says.
