Credit where it's due. The BBC is exceptionally good at making people like Farage and Trump appear almost palatable. #r4today

I'm not the biggest fan of the monarchy but they'll be earning their pay this week. #r4today

In all my 70+ years I've never been asked my opinion in a telephone poll. #bbcpm

@LindaAizlewood Absolutely! I remember children at school with me wearing callipers on their legs due to polio. The horror stories of people dying in childbirth and childhood mortality. We're so fortunate and yet some people would throw it all away! All the best to you x

@BabsHorton I used to teach Health and Illness and we looked at life before the NHS. Heartbreaking stuff. Local graveyard is enough to convince. Whole families wiped out by childhood illnesses that are unheard of now. Largely thanks to vaccines

Before the NHS existed my mum's best friend aged 10 died because the family couldn't afford to call the doctor out. Be careful who you vote for. #r4today

As American as Billy Connolly?

@theflat5th He's from Scotland. I think he has a home in America. I have a home in England but that doesn't make me English.

Why is Brian Cox on #BBCLauraK yet again?? What special knowledge or world experience does this truly tedious American actor bring to any subject? Time after time, he advises us that he can’t even finish what he wants to say as he’ll resort to swearing A self-important clown

@theflat5th Dual citizenship.

@joecrayston Thankyou

@BabsHorton Warsi was the notable exception!

@Trussman333 Let's hope you can hold your excitement in check. I hear that there are some reliable products on the market if you're anxious. Good luck.

@BabsHorton Going to love these local elections..

@UrbanSpaceMan64 That's the one!

@BabsHorton Johnson? The man that MI5 AND MI6 were suspicious off because of his potential connections to the FSB? That Johnson?

Lee Anderson is vastly overpriced at 30p #bbcpm

The Box in Plymouth is magnificent! If you haven't visited yet get a wiggle on and come and see the Beryl Cook exhibition and everything else on offer. #r4today

The media doesn't seem quite so keen to dig into the affairs of the expensively educated classes. I wonder why?#r4today

@curetowokeness I agree. I'm just wondering why it took so long for Johnson to go- thinking of Pincher affair, Partygate, Refurbishment of Downing Street, Illegal Prorogation of Parliament. What's good for the gander indeed but fairly and across the board.

@BabsHorton No not at all...but someone had to resign because of it. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander

Are lying Prime Ministers such a shock to the Tories?#BBCLauraK

I'm surprised the BBC didn't run out of popcorn during the Tory years. #r4today

Most of us have come across ignorant, bullish oafs but usually the extent of their power is ruining a family party or getting banned from the pub. They've never been able to hold the lives of millions in their hands. We're living through dark and ugly times. #r4today
