I agree!
I lived in Leeds between 1962 and 1981. I heard a lot of swearing. Especially the word "fook", rhyming with "look". Not "hoop". No one ever said that.

@discoveryplusuk.bsky.social you have put in an appalling performance this evening. Failing to resume the stream for West Ham-Brentford since the beginning of the second half. I demand a refund for this month.

Horrible bloke. I mean, funny and perfectly cast as Cardinal Wolsey in Carry On Henry but horrible bloke.
Having said that, it was when I tried to put up a post about Trump and Netanyahu burning in hell . . .
I think there are general Facebook difficulties
Not just me then
I hope Trump and Netanyahu burn in hell.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Total bothsides rubbish from a known fucking idiot. Still, she crosses her arms so she must be serious. Shttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd037p0z1gxo
Well, they've always operated in a very clandestine way.
