Perhaps Nick Robinson’s experience in Rome, hearing about the Pope’s humility and tolerance, will make him a better person? But then again…. #r4today

When you charge £10.12 per day for peanuts it’s no wonder the company want to extend the licence to adults! #r4today

I trust General Kellogg will be in London in time for breakfast #r4today

As with canned laughter, one shouting over-excited sports commentator is pretty much like another …still, it fills up airtime at little cost so I expect #r4today editors will continue to serve it up every morning 🥱

Hard to imagine FDR loosing it with Churchill in August 1941: “You right now are not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having the cards” #r4today

More defense spending on Brimstones #r4today
