@MelanieLatest To expand: We and those sympathetic to us will agree with the Times item, others are tired of hearing about us, or don’t yet understand that Western Civilisation is at risk and that Israel is democracy's front line.

@MelanieLatest I admire yr untiring courage, vigour, intellect, so am shy to advise but IMO, Times item only about antisemitism is a tactical error. ALWAYS headline the threat to the West as a whole; harness the very real tie of the West’s interests to those of its Jews+Israel.

@_WhatMakesAMan_ @raye Yes! They must, must release that arrangement of Escapism for streaming Jools Holland’s #Hootenanny .

@WayneLMarsh @leeharris Agreed. The excerpt reminded me of the days when private discussions, even those in which arguments were put forward passionately, included such phrases as "you've got a point there", or "I hadn't thought of that", which were meant sincerely. Mutual enquiry, not "owning".

@leeharris Instead of thinking in ‘gotchas’ and avoiding being ‘got’… If someone offers a perspective that has more merit then why would it not be embraced? Might be a question worth pondering.

This is brilliant. Douglas Murray snookers Piers Morgan so effectively he ended up having to agree with him. Extremely satisfying to watch.

@Boomah A social worker acquaintance described being called out at 2 a.m. and spending two hours helping a client family. Her client's parting comment was, apparently, "I know my rights!" "Well", I said, "that's just her way of saying "Thank you"".😇😉

I have been studying modern English parlance over the last few months as well as on the highway. Am I alone in thinking that “please “ & “thank you” are no longer part of our vocabulary & decorum?

. @JonnyDymond will be testing a #handsfreecar on #bbcwato The World This Weekend @BBCRadio4 today. Will he find it as weird in practice as I predicted in theory or am I being a luddite?

Which one of these foreign office civil servants, funded by our taxes😠😩, is Luke? (Luke is a fictional character in "The Complete Yes Prime Minister" -Chapter 6- by @mrjonathanlynn & the late Antony Jay. Still worth a read if you haven't or reading again if you have).

Then how long to put hands-feet in place and establish feel? Keeping eyes on road without touching anything for miles sounds like the very definition of irritating boredom. Drivers would not stay consistently alert. @TheRAC_UK @WhichUK @TheAA_UK

bbc.co.uk/news/business-… This is insane. Drivers get important muscle and touch feedback from wheel and pedals. If intervention is required, reaction speed will be slower and action less accurate: How long to decide on intervention? 1/2

@KatieFforde Congratulations Katie! 🥰🤗

I am so delighted by my Lifetime Achievement Award. OH, obviously a little jealous, wants one for making me so many cups of tea. To be fair, he has earned it!

Interesting article about the data- but disappointing too, because it doesn't attempt to describe why, or suggest solutions. Please give readers a second article on those two topics. spectator.co.uk/article/sturge… via @spectator

I had the Monday morning grumps till I read this out loud to my wife and we fell about over our toast. Thank you Julie "way with words" Burchill.😂 spectator.co.uk/article/crying… via @spectator

@Humanists_UK @BBCRadio4 @annemcelvoy ...it directly saying, instead, that humans channelled god's/gods' word. It's good to consider other participants' sensibilities but the discussion could have borne a hardier approach. e.g., almost no old Greek philosophers, deism? @BBCInOurTime might do this subject better.

@Humanists_UK A weak #moralmaze discussion @BBCRadio4 until @annemcelvoy's intervention at 29m58s, the witnesses mostly presenting their feelings instead of deductions based on historical knowledge. @annemcelvoy gently implied that all ethics are human-made but even she was shy of saying ../2

Ethics aren't just 'surviving' the decline of religion, but improving for it. One of the factors which may explain the trend away from religion is that the major religions frequently fall short of the ethical values and standards of mainstream society. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@DrJaninaRamirez @BBCTwo Thanks for a fascinating documentary and for your excellent presentation - great pacing, clearly narrated without unnecessary repetition and beautifully photographed. An example for other TV documentaries to follow (please!).

If you missed it #TutankhamunsSecrets is showing again tonight @BBCTwo 11.15pm. It was the last doc made by incredible director Kenny Scott, who passed away this summer. I adored working with him & he would have been so pleased to know so many loved this bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@Spokoiny Well done! Classic! It reminds me of this story about Sid James (mid C20th century English comedy actor) though his technique was less subtle!

Interested in what Putin's referenda might look like and specifically whether his campaigns will involve more lies than our own Vote Leave.
