Rosa parks episode of #DoctorWho , people claim it's all BBC pc nonsense. Two items down on my feed is a man on a plane refusing to be seated next to a black woman and treating her with utter contempt. Maybe it's still important for new generations to see racists are out there.

@MirrorFootball Best reply was "I dont watch the program, haven't seen AS in any shows, BUT I know that she has been appointed to tick boxes" The temerity of an international footballer being selected to front a program about football!!!

@GillianMcKeith If "they" come for my children then they need to bring snacks, chargers, infinite patience, eyes in the back of their head, tissues, a hairbrush, Batteries, a book, some pens, paper, more snacks and at least one change of clothes each. Seems a lot of effort, but if you're sure

After secretly recording me dancing (solo moshing) around the kitchen my daughter has now announced that "Kennedy" by The Wedding Present is her new favourite song. It is "cool", "loud" & "you sing it really really badly". Apparently this is enough to get a 9y.o seal of approval

@lewiscollins26 @arusbridger Surely if you want a party to coalesce around one set of core principles, then you need the Tory party (and labour) to split as they claim to both be broad churches. In theory you would need half a dozen parties to cover Brexit policy alone. And FPTP doesn't allow for that.
