That's an odd take. Maybe he needs educating that his views are incorrect and borderline racist rather than advice on how better to articulate those views.

Fabulous!

Just got round to watching the video. Excellent stuff!

Europe's nice. And we have kettles that boil really fast 😉

Oh dear.

Does the Greens' house have a glass ceiling though?

We've all been wondering where on earth you'd got to!

Audacious? Have you given up being journalists?

Horrific

Number of people who say Britons must be born in UK is rising, study shows Exclusive: Research finds ‘worrying’ surge in support for hard-right narratives on national identity

So Boris Johnson, Prince Phillip, Andrew Bonar Law, Freddie Mercury, George I, George II, Richard E Grant, Douglas Carswell, Rudyard Kipling, Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley and Spike Milligan weren't British?

Interesting

Oh 1975 actually.

I just found this one of Colin from 1972 while clearing out my late mum's house.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter

In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career.

I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters.

Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

So sorry to hear this.

Corrupt

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

Brilliant 👏 👏

The cars and the changing network are actually very good, if you ignore all the self-driving BS, which is what makes the antics of the drug-addled, nazi owner even more tragic.

...except anonymised data can often be de-anonymised very easily & then what happens when health insurance companies buy this data & use it to load your health or life insurance premiums?

It's ridiculous to suggest she'd defect to Reform, they're simply not right wing enough for her.

At what point do people stop thinking they're doing this for political reasons to counter Reform and start realising this is actually who they really are.

Saul was in my year and we're still in touch. I saw Colin about 5 years ago and he looked just the same! My sister and I have many happy memories of playing in their woodland house as kids as well as dear Rosie in her Landrover!
