I simply can’t listen to Woman’s Hour anymore. I gave it a go after Jenni was sacked, & Emma Barnett is a great broadcaster, but now…..it’s indescribably terrible.

Jenni was kind, formidable and courageous, and Woman’s Hour is a shell of what it was under her. RIP to a great journalist

I started the Secret Policeman's Ball shows and produced the first five of them to give them a steady flow of income
I now dissociate myself from them

Today, the Islamic Republic hanged multiple Iranian civilians, some of whom were just teenagers. Amnesty International? Silent. The UN? Silent. Human Rights Council? Silent. The Red Cross? Silent.

@HarrietHarman I dont remember you standing up for her when she was unceremoniously dumped from Woman's Hour, but please, do correct me if I'm wrong.

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@BBCRadio4 @Fox_Claire @BBCWomansHour What massive hypocrites you all are, shame on you after all you put her through.

Dame Jenni Murray, best known for presenting BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour from 1987 to 2020, has sadly died at the age of 75.
Mohit Bakaya, Controller, BBC Radio 4 and Director of BBC Speech Audio has paid tribute tribute to Dame Jenni.
“Jenni Murray was a formidable voice in British broadcasting who was warm, fearless and beloved by listeners,” he said.
“During her decades at Woman’s Hour, she helped shape the national conversation with intelligence, rigour and a remarkable ability to connect with audiences. Jenni leaves an indelible legacy on generations of listeners.
“We are profoundly grateful for her outstanding contribution to Radio 4, and she will be deeply missed.”

Remember this article from Jenni Murray in 2017. Totally reasonable, nothing extreme, just saying men can’t be women.
Then there was all the protests, calls to cancel talks, The BBC warned her, restricted her on air, and by 2020 she left Woman’s Hour.
But she never backed down, even as the pushback continued for years. This is how speaking honestly costs you in public life. But she was forever right.
Rest in peace, brave and courageous Jenni Murray.

@bindelj I'd even nurtured a hope that she might return to Woman's Hour. No doubt those hypocrites at the BBC will now go through the motions of paying tribute to her, after all they've put her through.
English

Terrible, tragic news. She was the best. Treated really badly by the BBC after she dared to speak out about you know what. She was absolutely disgusted with the powers that be. Maybe it will all come out now. Jenni was a true journalist, no one quite like her.

This is so sad. I always enjoyed talking to Jenni. A huge loss to @BBCWomansHour BBC News - Dame Jenni Murray, former BBC Woman's Hour presenter, dies at 75 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@sirwg202110 She didn't join in prayers with "everyone", she joined in prayers with the women; she wouldn't have been allowed to join in prayers with the men.

@dignityindying Um, does she not know how a bicameral parliamentary system operates? This is our democracy in action, not the absence of it.

"FEAR OF REJECTION" LIDL WORKER WINS £45K PAYOUT AFTER DEFYING BOSS ON SAFETY!
Ryan Toghill secretly used heavy powered pallet trucks at the Ystrad Mynach store, despite his manager explicitly banning him for safety reasons.
Sacked for gross misconduct, he sued claiming his ADHD caused crippling “fear of rejection” sensitivity, making him appear totally remorseless in the disciplinary hearing.
Cardiff employment tribunal ruled unfair dismissal, Lidl failed to make reasonable adjustments for his condition.
He’s been handed £45,147 compensation.
Britain’s workplaces officially run on feelings now!

@stuey_beef Other countries have their national flags flying everywhere, we should too.
English

At Southmead Hospital in Bristol, patients asked for a few Union Jacks to brighten the place up.
Volunteers put up four flags. Within hours, management ordered them taken down because “flags can carry different meanings” and “unexpected displays can feel unsettling”.
If the Union Jack is “unsettling” on a British hospital, maybe the problem isn’t the flag – it’s the fact our own institutions are now embarrassed by the country they serve.

@SophiaWenzler @AllisonPearson So "one in, one out", and "smashing the gangs" aren't working out as planned? How very surprising.
