Fuck me. Some of the replies to my earlier tweet about Amanda Abbington’s appearance on Lorraine this morning.
I’m getting such a clear idea of what a bastard of a world it must be if you’re a woman.
I truly believe that Corden must have pissed off one of his writers who then gave him a section of a hugely watched Ricky Gervais stand-up routine - So that Corden himself would get the flack for doing so…
If, like me, you adore doggy type animals, THIS will melt your heart.
From Dog’s Trust, Ireland. These babies are let into a big room, one by one, and told to take their pick of all the toys. Just adorable.
Fuck you, Kyle Clifford.
You’ve snuffed out 3 lives, destroyed a 4th & devastated many others.
I don’t give a damn about legalities / that you haven’t been charged / found guilty yet.
We all know what you’ve done.
YOU know what you’ve done.
Rot in hell.
Slowly.
Starting now.
Esther McVey. She was only accepted into the Conservative Party because she was a former kids’ TV presenter - Meaning she can communicate to the Prime Minister in words he can understand.

.
Have just watched Amanda Abbington’s interview on the Lorraine programme.
Felt DESPERATELY sorry for her - As anyone with a SHRED of decency would. So how her TV appearances can elicit the sort of response as the one below - It’s beyond me.
Les - You’re a twat.
I don’t often say this… Because there’s rarely the opportunity. But Sam Ryder - He’s going to be a megastar. Not just with his singing, but he’s going to host loads of telly. He’s got a magical likability that cannot be taught.

Can’t remember an outpouring like this since Mr Wogan.
Steve Wright meant so much to so many.
What a hideous misjudgement Radio 2 made in shunting him from afternoons.
It’s the equivalent of Snickers taking away the peanuts to “improve” the product.
@CBKNEWS121
A so-called “news” account with a bought blue tick, posting distasteful utter bollocks. This was in Beirut two years ago. A shameful use of an absolute tragedy to gain followers / traction. You should be thoroughly ashamed.
Ohhhhhh, look what we have here.
I wonder if Raab will now get as much hideous online abuse and ridicule as Diane Abbott does. Somehow, I don’t think so.
It was 46 years ago today that my beloved father-in-law, Richard Dunn, fought Muhammad Ali for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.
He’s 77 now - And taking on the biggest fight of his life as he battles dementia.
We love ya, Paps.
And we’re with you all the ruddy way.
On the subject of Bob Monkhouse, just watch this - From his last ever show to an audience of fellow pros.
You just don’t get better.
I always laugh AND cry at this.
Laugh at the beautifully told story…
Cry at Bob’s face, bloated from the dastardly cancer meds he was on.
DELETED TWEET FROM BORIS JOHNSON:
“I did have a big enough wanger to appear on
#mymassivecock
- But flopping it out on television would not be the right thing to do.”
@seahorsebend
Oh Jenn. Was casually scrolling away on here - And your tweet stopped me in my tracks.
Words cannot express how I felt reading your post.
I don’t know WHAT I can offer, but my email is greg

Sending huge love. Take care 🙏
Looking at the proportion of people knocking Steve Wright compared to those who love his work - I’d say he’s been doing radio PERFECTLY. With today’s announcement, that’s a little more personality / soul sucked out of the business. Truly the end of an era.
@lizsteelpt2
Exactly. It’s quite simple. And yet, just look at some of the responses to my tweet. It’s remarkable that some of these people can even work out how to turn their phones on.
@chris_kammy
There are very few people on television who can both a) Come “through the screen” and make the necessary connection with their audience - And b) Make the viewer wish they could meet you down the pub for a drink. You’ve ALWAYS had *it*, Kammy.
You’ll be missed ENORMOUSLY xx
@Mrs_R_Spectre
As I’ve said to a number of others, I have two daughters in their mid twenties - So I’m very aware - Particularly as the 24 year old works behind a bar. The amount of arseholes I’ve wanted to throttle after she’s told me what they’ve done to her - But she’s STRONG AS HECKERS 💪
@anetgirls
She’s NOTHING to gain by lying.
There was nothing to gain by leaving the show early.
It’s scary how many people can’t see through the glittery surface.
I did it for The Duke Of Edinburgh, but this is a different league still.
I’ve been asked by Network Rail to record the whole UK’s announcements for the official two minutes’ silence for The Queen.
Even though recorded, I know I’ll be nervous given the sheer magnitude.
@LesDennis
With you all the way, Les.
As for those calling you a “has been”… Better to have been a has been than a never was.
Fact is, you’re still very much an “is”! Best of luck with the rest of the OFAH run.
And as for morons - Eff them. Eff them to the moon and back. Via the M25.
@soopiya
@maitlis
When they tried with me a few months ago, as soon as they realised I’d rumbled them (I REALLY started winding them up), they too hung up…
But not before they called me a “f****** c***”.
Charming.
@Dawnlar
It just enrages me, Dawn. The swelling of general nastiness in the world is completely unacceptable. I don’t know what the reason is for it - But SOMETHING is triggering evil in people… And the good people need to speak out about it / push back.
This is heartbreaking. Amy Garcia breaking the news of the death of her long-time screen partner, Harry Gration. The news must have come to the team very late in the bulletin as all seemed fine up to this point. Amy just can’t hold it together, bless her.
It’s our last 20 hours with this baby.
Heart going like the clappers… Collapsing… Gasping for breath.
I’m so upset. But at least have the knowledge that her final couple of years were far better than her first.
Limitless kisses, cuddles - And a bit of chocolate - All to come.
@JimMFelton
Unbefuckinglievable. I still say that Johnson should sort it out, as this was all of his making. Probably knows he hasn’t got a clue how to, though. Same goes for Truss.
@JonathanPieNews
The biggest question (I haven’t seen asked yet) is…
With James having the political leanings he clearly has - And working where he does - Why the Sam Hill did he buy a ticket to see Jonathan Pie?!
It’s like Jacob Rees-Mogg buying a ticket to see Frankie Boyle.
Every time Daisy Cooper & Carla Denyer speak, I find myself nodding in agreement and wishing the Lib Dems and / or Greens stood some kind of chance in three weeks’ time.
#ITVdebate
Correction: Olivia Attwood has been forced to leave
#ImACeleb
on MEDICAL GROUNDS.
Rumour has it that on her parachute jump, her cosmetically enhanced lips flapped right over her face, covering it completely, and she’s had trouble breathing ever since.
Just heard that Lionel Blair has died. Only worked with him once - But what a bloody nice bloke - And what a career. You don’t have longevity like that by being nasty and talentless. He was one of the best. Never heard a bad word said about him.
And that’s a pisser to end what’s been a dreadful week in general for me.
One of the finest, most talented entertainers to ever grace our screens, Mike Yarwood, has died at the age of 82.
From the days when people would be given TV shows based MAINLY on their levels of talent.
@PhilJonesy3
And this, according to the TRIC (Television and Radio Industries Club) Awards, is the NEWS CHANNEL OF THE YEAR?
How many anonymous lumpy brown envelopes exchanged hands to allow this to happen?
That’s been quite the day on here.
Damn, I HATE social media sometimes.
I’ve encountered weird people, nasty people and thick people over the last ten hours.
But thankfully, nice poppets still outnumber the gorps… For now. So I’ll stick around.
When the balance tips: Ta ta!
@GMB
@adilray
@MattHancock
Look. Nobody knows. The party happened, but nobody was there, nobody knows anything about it (though some laughed about it) and if it did happen, it didn’t break any rules. Which it did.
It’s absolutely clear.
For the Health Secretary, the man responsible for the nations health, to join cabinet ministers in throwing a protective ring around the Prime Minister on this issue is utterly shameful, it’s beyond comprehension
That’s horrible news to wake up to in the middle of the night.
Bless you and sleep well, Paul O’Grady.
Your people - And all those dogs - Will miss you terribly.
🙏♥️🙏
RIGHT!
Really want to move on from the discussion that exploded from my earlier tweet.
In amongst the many decent people (❤️), there’s still too many gorps (🤪) for my liking.
SO. Let’s do a 1-80.
Let’s have some seals sneezing.
@JacobRPx
@WWEEmberMoon
Jesus… When someone’s been given shitty news, you could wait more than 30 minutes before chiming in with your unwelcome, unnecessary thoughts. If that’s what you think, just keep it to yourself. Why kick someone when they’re down?
Oh, give me a break with this “Freedom of Speech” argument… Yes, of COURSE you’re free to say what you want - But if you’re gonna be a massive c*nt and cause untold upset to people who have been through hell, expect ramifications. It’s quite simple.
@GMB
Court told Martin Hibbert is looking to lobby the government for a new law to stop victims of attacks from being harassed and trolled in the way his daughter has been. Barrister suggests if this is successful - 'this is a grave interference for the right to freedom of speech'.
"I cannot see where the evidence is where Boris Johnson misled Parliament, knowingly" says Conservative MP, Lia Nici.
Jesus - Her name is one letter short of “Liar”. She SHOULD know one.
In fact, if she denies going to the same hairdresser as Michael Fabricant, she IS one.
I haven’t seen Mrs Brown’s Boys before. Not one episode. Ever.
But thought I’d watch the first few minutes tonight, just because it’s live.
I’ll let my face tell the story.
LOOK AT THIS!
This report has JUST been on ITV News,
live from a section of the M25.
LOOK AT THAT FIRST LANE! Why is barely ANYONE in it?!
Why are so many people aimlessly and dozily trundling along in the THIRD lane?!
This is SUCH a problem.
THICK DRIVERS.
