You already have red ones to reflect the colour of your face when the steam is coming out of your ears as you fume over a black postbox.
@thecarolemalone
The majority? Where is your evidence or proof of that, Malone? If you can't provide either, then we have to assume you're talking bollocks.

@LozzaFox
Except that the two men weren't paedophiles, but Laurence Fox has displayed racist tropes, said racist things, and used racist language.
@darrengrimes_
Lying.
Propaganda to forward a cause.
Unprofessional
Vitriol
Hate campaigns against individuals
Hate campaigns against groups in society.
Egotistical presenters.
Hypocrisy.
Presenting opinions as facts.
Not a news channel.
@darrengrimes_
If you are fed up with adaptation that "meddle with the book," why are you praising one in which Miss Marple was shoehorned into it when she wasn't in the book at all? Clearly you have (a) never read the book and (b) don't care about meddling providing it fits your agenda.
Odd how Dan Wootton is very keen on Russell Brand not being viewed as guilty by the media or social media until he's had a fair trial. That's not what I remember him saying about Schofield just a few months ago. I wonder what made him change his mind? Any ideas

Who wants to read anything you say - other than an apology for putting people in financial crisis because of your decisions? It's utterly incomprehensible that you believe people want to hear from you right now. People lost homes because of you. Show some responsibility.
@darrengrimes_
Her "unvarnished truth" is less a breath of fresh air and more like a stale fart. You have no proof, no evidence, no research to show that the UK public agree with her. And no matter how long your tweets of verbal diarrhea are, that's not going to change
@ScottBentonMP
The first is a question about a man known for punching others, being sexist, misogynist, and racist. The other is a comment about a man who doesn't appear to have done any harm to anyone and is questioning the ethics of a harmful policy that is a desparate attempt to get votes.
@IsabelOakeshott
Ok. So, this morning, the far right were near the cenotaph. They were nowhere near the protest march. So what exactly is your excuse for their drunken and violet behaviour? Who do you want to blame other than the far right WHEN THERE WAS NO-ONE ELSE THERE!

episode about
#RosaParks
Montgomery 1955 may very well be the most important hour of TV shown in the toxic UK in 2018. Hit home the horrors of racism to a young audience without patronising them in any way. Staggering job. Deserves the praise it is getting.

Christianity didn't impose on anyone or occupy it's land...? Are you SURE about that? Meanwhile I have yet to be imposed upon to become Muslim or go to a mosque. Have you?

interview is hard work. Modern interviewers can do with realising that shouting at interviewees is not the way forward. Barry Gardiner is one of the few politicians who gives a straight answer, so why shout at him?

@amandajplatell
And here's the issue: Tories say the BBC is left wing. The left say it's too right wing. Doesn't that mean that there is no bias?
@sophielouisecc
Actually, you can. If the NHS was funded and run properly, if there was more social housing, and house building targets were met, then nobody would be complaining. But, in all three cases, the Tories have failed to deliver.

Ah yeah, photo opportunity with the lovely person who caused everybody's mortgage payments to go through the roof...meaning they have less money to spend in your pub. Probably not the brightest idea you've ever had.

Perhaps we should have had those thoughts when we went around invading other people's chunks of rock in the name of the empire.

@GBNEWS
Because GBNews is a propaganda machine, which doesn't show both sides of the argument and also breaks Ofcom rules. You know, the rules of the UK that you were so interested in keeping during Brexit.
It is quite clear: Kenneth Clarke no longer gives a shit what he says to

, and for the remainder of his time in the Commons is going to be a "bloody difficult man." Good for him.
@darrengrimes_
But it didn't shake you to the core before last week? It's been going on for years. Or do you not take any notice of the news unless it's dramatised for you so you can understand it?
I really wish that people spouting on Twitter about how this should have been a
#NoConfidence
vote in the govt not the PM actually knew what they were talking about. He doesn't have numbers to win a vote against the govt, so there is no point - it would strengthen the govt.
@sophielouisecc
It is NOT right to force people who are ill and disabled into work when they are not well enough to cope with it. NOBODY on benefits gets "significantly" more than the "average national salary" and I ask you to show your evidence that there is. Or do you not have any?
@paulwestonlibgb
@AlbionAwake
No. We should treat others as we should like to be treated. No-one is invading our little rock or telling us what to do.The world is changing, people are mixing with each other, understanding each other. Not putting up walls cos ppl look or sound different. That's good, not bad
@BBCNews
Really? A statue comes down that most people wanted removed anyway, and the police go down this route? One has to wonder if they don't have better things to do. 120 violent crimes a day in Avon & Somerset, and THESE are the people they want to hunt down?
@OliLondonTV

@Ofcom
@GBNEWS
No, it's not crazy. He is standing for election, and knows full well that you cannot have your own show if you are running for election. Now he's making out he's a victim (and whinging about it) despite it being the same rule for him as everyone else.
@Mike_Fabricant
So, you voted leave for an "independent Britain" with its own laws and justice system...and then decide you don't like that justice system as and when it suits you.

What on earth are you talking about? Universities do not generally play the national anthem at graduation ceremonies. Why on earth would they?

@LeeHunt6
White (inevitably straight) old men have had decades being told they pull the strings in this country, and that they are in charge, and everyone else is beneath them. This, unfortunately, is how they react when they begin to realise that they are losing the power they once had.
@AlStewartOBE
@nytimes
For a newscaster that was so well respected in this country, one has to wonder how you now think that such a trashy and ridiculous comment is ok. Perhaps the pre-GBnews years was just a mask.
@LeeAndersonMP_
Or maybe Lineker simply hit the wrong button. As all of us do on Twitter with great regularity. More worrying with regards to mental health is not voting with your conscience because people are laughing.

Complete and utter nonsense. Traditions go back centuries. Rule Britannia wasn't played at the Proms until 1953. And, to add to that,in the last 55 years, the piece was only performed 33 times. So this excuse of "tradition" to glorify the empire, racism and slavery is,

I would have written back, saying "when you can bother to check your grammar, which is what you're supposed to do, then I'll hand in on time, which is what I'm supposed to do!"

I don't see anything in the post or the comments made by the father were you are implicated.
@DawnButlerBrent
mentions the govt, not you. So, are you feeling guilty? You should be. You and your fellow presenters have stirred up hatred towards the trans community repeatedly
@GBNewsSpin
GBNews is unbalanced....and, I'm afraid to say, probably so are some of the people watching it. It's become a cult, with followers accepting everything they're told and seen, both on the channel and on social media.
@MartinSLewis
It's not a misunderstanding, it's an intentional attempt to attack the worse off, and continue the "workers vs shirkers" rhetoric of Cameron. The right wing need a group of people to blame for the mess we are in, and the low paid, disabled etc are the perfect scapegoat for them.
@GBNEWS
That's not a U-turn, it's someone admitting they were wrong. There is a vast difference. Were you reporting Sunak's lies in the Commons yesterday, and his lack of apology?
@PaulEmbery
@matt_tennant
Now you're saying you don't want to hear it, but you have the right to hear it. In which case download, buy or stream the song in its original form. Nobody has banned it, but it's simply not being played on radio stations. I'm sure you can afford 99p from itunes.
@Mike_Fabricant
Is that the best you can come up with? If this happened to Sunak, you'd be going mad(der). The truth is it didn't happen to Sunak because he is totally irrelevant in UK politics right now - clearly counting the days until he leaves office, achieving nothing, and not even TRYING
@darrengrimes_
Then we should all be thankful you're not in charge of the funds. Or are you just virtue signalling, because it's not so long ago you maintained he was a "clown prince." Really, do you have to make our arguments against your many posts so damned easy? It takes half the fun
@RupertLowe10
They don't have the capacity, because the govt has failed to meet housing targets on every single year they have been in power. They've let schools rot so much that some are now unsafe. And they have not funded the NHS as it should have been. If you want to blame migrants,
@jeffbrutlag
It's difficult. It was an insult when I was at school - but then I ended up writing about queer film and queer theory and queer history. I understand why people don't like it, because of how it was used in the past, but I've got used to it and learned to embrace it.
