@ChrisGPackham @DailyMailUK @BASCnews Despicable behaviour. Even for those that disagree with Chris (and I struggle to understand why anyone would), but what thought process must go through someone's mind to think this is a reasonable, proportionate, and acceptable response? Barbaric cruelty to make a point..FFS!😡

@TranmereRovers The big clubs have hoovered up the majority of young talent for their academies, hold massive playing squads, yet seemingly are not resourced to play FA Cup replays. Meanwhile, they are happy to play lucrative friendlies abroad, & increased European competitions. Go figure!

@Channel4News @siobhankennedy4 They don't welcome being questioned logically, forensically, but with eloquent and reasonable persistence do they? This wasn't speaking about hypotheticals - it was merely asking for a clarification of Trump's own statement. Seems to me they do intend to commit war crimes.

Was feeling quite low this morning, with all the Tier3 Covid fallout and stuff, so took myself off for a walk to lift my spirits and clear my mind. I know I probably bore folk on here with my snaps, but I find walking massively beneficial psychologically as well as physically 👍

Was in Birkenhead earlier, so decided to have a little mooch round the Woodside area, where I used to work. The priory church tower overlooking Cammell Lairds always tests my fear of heights, especially on windy days. Lovely to see the mural of the Paul O'Grady progressing too!

Out at 4.45am this morning - felt a blast of warm air as I opened the front door, even at that hour. Made it down to Moreton Shore about an hour later, missing the sun rising above the horizon, but still in time for the low sun to bathe the ebbing tide in a warm glow. 🌞😎

Traditional Halloween venture up onto spooky Bidston Hill today. Not a soul about, which added to the foreboding atmosphere, especially on the less trodden paths amongst the ruins between the back of Bidston Hall and The Clubhouse, with their murky and sinister histories!👀🧙‍♀️👻😬

Today's walk took me to Hoylake. Given some recent criticism aimed at them, I would just publicly like to thank the #RNLI for all that they do, and stand in solidarity with their continuing brave efforts to save lives at sea without prejudice, often at great personal risk!

@MartinSLewis It should be a secular country in my view, where everybody's religious beliefs are respected, but they should under no circumstances be permitted to tell others what to do on the basis of those beliefs. Ethics, fairness, kindness and compassion are not dependent on religion.

Today's walk took me through Royden Park, Caldy Village, down to the shore at Cubbins Green, & finally on to West Kirby through Ashton Park, where the pigeons were mustering in the trees like something out of a Hitchcock film!👀 Noticed Caldy RUFC are playing today, £20 in🏉🤔
