I know we are currently very different in so many ways, but looking at the way a politician has used a national policing force as a paramilitary army under their control over the pond, do we want a national force here?

Board of Peace - Season 1

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

Forget the ban on children and social media. We need a worldwide ban on orange toddlers accessing social media.

Didn't someone in the US administration say that the only people other than the US who could have lifted a rogue president like they did Maduro was the UK's special forces? I wonder if they are any good with beach side properties?

The Embassy staff of Germany, France and the United Kingdom sing Schedryk in the Kyiv underground. Wonderful!

@gidcoe.bsky.social thanks for another wonderful pre christmas christmas and a great year... shame it isn't 3 hours solo from LBH... but have a wonderful Christmas with suze and Nat. Hope despite the lack of fests to catch up sometime.

@citizenhelene.bsky.social Gid giving you some PRS. I hope you have a good time On Christmas Time

23:56 and youtube shuffle gives me Ivor's Cruising Theme. It must be time for bed. Nighty Night, Nighty Night. #iykyk

Well road Christmas get together worked well. musical sound track worked well with "On Christmas Day", "The wolf and the Woods", "Just Like Christmas" and "Getting Coal". Just Christmassy and nothing known, and definitely nothing to spoil any game.

Did #r4today just play a recording of the full 6 pips not at the top of the hour? I thought that was prohibited as some things listen for it to adjust clocks. Possibly the quarter hour pips allowed if they escape.

@johnsimpsonnews.bsky.social just heard your brilliant explanation of the genocide question on Newscast yesterday. Completely agree broadcasters should report what people call things but not themselves. Sure dad would have agreed entirely

Someone's found the perfect response:

Another #Masterchef 5? No long shots. Assume walking along the canal has had some assistance

UK Listen to this. Words of wisdom.

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.

It might not have been warm enough for Chris Fawkes to read the weather on a bikini on #r4today but at least he could have tried norwigein

The Arse of the Deal The new Private Eye is out now.

It appears it is more important to defund NPR than to stop actions which courts may decide amount to genocide. Shame.

So Tim Davie gets Katie Razzell interviewing him. Not a bad interview, but will he consent to the Entwhistle slot on #r4today tomorrow morning? Is Humphrys available for a one off?

At least Comical Ali was a amusing, but Leavitt should leave it out.

I was hoping this BBC4 programme was going to be about the working day of a BBC secretary in the New York Office in 1968. But no. #BlondieAtTheBBC

Four Seasons Total Landscaping is back! Remember Giuliani sweating hair die in that very lot?

Dear #BBCNews, who don't seem to be here,, I absolutely get the plane crash and how awful, but 24 minute, with Portadown. Economy (any LA stuff?), Iran Nuclear etc.. surely the crash was the top 5-8 minutes?

Niche, and very funny

@shaunwkeaveny.bsky.social I never really listen to 2, but good to hear you at your natural time Breakfast Time. Hardly listen to you old station now except for Gid had been on all the time. At least on 2 you can play some Dire Straits

First robin visitor to my feeder! I've seen them in the garden a bit recently, but this is the first time one has visited the buffet

#thearchers how did Peggy have an accountant who can wrap up a will so quickly? Got to pay for funeral and wake, his/her fees, IHT, etc

I was rather hoping #TomorrowsPapersToday would all be leading with Peggy #TheArchers death. Nothing else of note going on

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

#funwithflags or #badgeographyjoke?

Seattle Times just released a story on this. Turns out, there’s a lot of nuance around why we’re not seeing lots of boats but the it’s all bad news.

If you know, you know

It was 100% The Undertones! lol. GET ORFFF MOI LAAAAAAARND! 🤬

Not the first time an Undertone has appeared on #TheArchers was it #WednesdayWeek? #Save6Music @marcrileydj.bsky.social

Trump just shut down the DOJ's unit that investigates crypto fraud. Remember: Trump and his inner circle stand to profit from their crypto investments and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag. It's a new Golden Age for corruption.

I am thinking the media the Gerry Adams /Martin McGuinness treatment should be given by the uk media to the oomph loomph

@zsk.bsky.social I know it isn't down to you, and you would have to ask the BBC who probably wouldn't be available (as feedback says so frequently) but why hasn't it got a presence here? Why on #bbclaurak is blue sky not a thing? And everything else. I know costs are squeezed beyond belief but easy

Protesters in Lisbon, Portugal are out protesting against Elon Musk and Donald Trump at the Hands Off! protest! Thank you for your solidarity, Portugal! 🇵🇹

Can everyone now see how this man tanked half a dozen resorts & casinos?

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social I hear on #Americast you are indeed Missinformation - fancy setting up USians for a tea time fine if they should visit. Of course it started in the 1770s and was the reason it was tea dumped into Boston Harbour.☕😜

Beware the Ides of March...

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com never using x. Made will in late 40s (no dependents) LPOA at 58 seeing parents deteriorate (luckily they were in place) and pushed by a positive Fit test, luckily that was just a push

Is it awful that during today's bbc news programmes, I suddenly wish for #feathersmcgraw

Way to stick it to Tim Martin.

@itvmlshow.bsky.social #martinlewis No I wouldn't expect them to replace for free, and why are you still using x??
