Exactly this. I tuned into #r4today this morning for the 1st time in ages as I was interested to learn about the election yesterday and was horrified listening to him. This isn’t good enough from our national broadcaster.

Well I just couldn’t listen to him. It was so poor to ask Qs that seemed β€œclick baity” & then to talk all over & through #ZackPolanski when he tried to answer. We deserve better debate than this - perhaps this is why the greens won through as this is what they are saying. There is a better way

I never listen to #r4today as I find their presenters problematic. Thought I’d give it a go just now & the man interviewing #ZackPolanski was just awful. I just can’t listen to presenters being aggressive & talking over & through the people they are interviewing & stopping them from answering.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

LTNs cut road casualties in half, campaigners say

LTNs cut road casualties in half, campaigners say

Either you're happy for people to be killed and injured to save you a couple of minutes on your journey, or you're not. The evidence that LTNs and 20mph zones save lives is overwhelming.

Can’t bear shopping in my local high street - it’s on a London β€œred route” - I.e. thundering traffic. Why would I go there? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Alas, I am not enjoying this Esme character one bit. Just tuned in to catch-up and admit my heart sank when I heard her start the programme #TheArchers

You should go see Patti Smith. Her voice is still fantastic

Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Eurythmics, X-Ray Spex and best of all Patti Smith (more than once)
