@Forthelols12 @davidyelland @FT Hmm. On first point, I think that’s because @davidyelland has to dial down in the “blokiness”and shared nostalgia since Simon Lewis got the push. Second, I think Fazana Baduel brings a fresh perspective from the “regular” PR world away from Simon’s “elite” Buck Pal and No 10 days

@davidyelland @FT Your enthusiasm on your bbc show has markedly dropped since Simon suddenly left mid series. The shows really rubbish now you don’t have a serious pr person who knows what they’re talking about contending your bizarre assumptions and claims

Gosh! When editing The Sun I sat on leaked honours lists as it was bad form not to, here the @FT of all papers says Barclays and Citi bosses recommended for honours in King’s birthday list.... Standards! Standards!

@AndyWandy777 @failtesheff @cityoflondon @limebike Er people want to use Lime Bikes (and others) or they would not exist.
English

@failtesheff @cityoflondon @limebike @cityoflondon could ban @limebike but they want their money. Obviously they think @limebike money is more important than residents and visitors to the City of London.
English

This is Lime Street or should I say Lime Bike Street. What an utter disgrace to our lovely City of London. These cycles are a plague and something must be done about it. @cityoflondon @limebike



English

@failtesheff @cityoflondon @limebike It’s not Lime Bikes that are the disgrace (they are very useful to many people). It is the way people with little or no community spirit leave them that is the disgrace.
English

@failtesheff @_LimeAID @cityoflondon @limebike That was a reasonable request by Lime Bike. Give them a couple of numbers at least. They have regular staff without your freedom trying to follow processes.
English

@_LimeAID @cityoflondon @limebike What off all of them..?? Get real and get out and clear up your mess.

@rationalgridai It’s not just “physical” place but also contentment to by “close” to changing and progressive concepts.

We explored the key value decisions that most divide British voters this year. One crucial decision is how we choose to relate to the place we live in.

@davidyelland come on David! Vine is just making a fair comment about the BBC reality given its creative nature. You didn’t actually quote him. Gist is
“I think basically it’s a very big, sprawling,creative organisation that is more like a disorganisation,and fundamentally it’s ungovernable.”
English

I love Jeremy Vine but when big BBC talent says big negatives about the BBC to big BBC-hating newspapers it saddens me. Imagine, for a moment, if Murdoch people poured such vitriol on Lachlan and Rupert. They are far more “ungovernable..” The company nearly folded under criminal scandal. But Murdochians mostly stay in line. They vent in private. Loyalty weighs. This is such a competitive advantage…

@cleanupbritain One bit of good news: tennis player Medvedev put the racquet that he childishly smashed up in the bin!

MAJOR CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
To change the behaviour of fly-tippers, they must feel the fear of being caught and prosecuted. That means catching them in the act. We're going to do that and force Councils to prosecute. Please share this post far and wide!

@mike56200 The thing is even on these dog owners’ “own terms” (ie being lazy) it’s easy to flick poo into a bush in the countryside side than pick it up in a bag, tie it up and hang on a beach. At least it will eventually rot down in the countryside if hidden but not in a bag.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have got away with. it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/end-… via @38degrees

Last time I watched a rocket launch to the moon the commentators were Patrick Moore, James Burke and Cliff Mitchelmore. They brought more gravitas than the ex-astronauts and presenters we have today. Astronauts are not commentators.

@davidyelland Interesting spin language used.
“Dismantle” is pejorative; “crown jewel” is honorific. Imagine the inverse opening blurb: “BBC to streamline costly, inefficient department”.
Where does the journalist use their own words, the corporation’s/press release words or the public’s?
English

I don't know how accurate this news story is but Clare Popplewell is one of the most important, valuable and wonderful people anywhere in the BBC.

@tomhfh Don't know which of before or after you're suggesting is better! I prefer after

Said it before and I’ll say it again. The rigid enforcement of traditional high street signage design codes is my most statist opinion.

merton council has a point
English

@cleanupbritain I’m less concerned about this. It has not been discarded wilfully - it’s a process that’s gone wrong. Metal can be retrieved and sold for scrap. It’s not rotting as such, and there’s a certain naturalistic decency to scrap metal. Unlike McDonalds, KFC and Red Bull packaging.
English

@Abstractarts7 @cleanupbritain Not sure people will take McDonalds packaging to council waste disposal sites. But yes, free and easy access to them might help ease fly-tipping.
English

@cleanupbritain Your answer should be, opening up your disposal sites so people could use them without any hassle.

We're going to install surveillance cameras all over the country to catch people who do this sort of damage to our environment... Please support our campaign.

If Saturday Night Live was a BBC show Tim Davie would be spending his last days pursued by angry Fleet Street editors... it is awful..unfunny.. we do not need lessons from America on how to laugh... @BBCRadio4's The Naked Week so, so much better... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
