I had my flu jab on Saturday. I've felt no response. Not even a slight sore patch in the arm. I can only guess I've met something like this year's primary candidate before.

It's one of life's intriguing little paradoxes. Religions almost always urge people to behave well. But, religious fanatics are close to universally evil. Here's a lovely example.

I mean, I never really believed there was much in the way of principles in the Tory Party. Especially after Johnson ejected most of the moderates. But, it's surprising me just how many of them are power hungry and morality free enough to join Nigel's Trump fan club. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Is being framed for having a knife in your cell worse than being framed for causing an accident while driving drunk, Emma? #thearchers

"Much more lively than dominoes." He's obviously never seen people *really* playing dominoes. #thearchers

How long does it take to check a gas ring? It feels like forever. #thearchers

Will they be tying yellow ribbons round an old oak tree? #thearchers

They're forever forgetting stuff off The Bull's catering order. It's amazing that pub survives. #thearchers

I hope all the people who complain about lack of farming content on #thearchers are satisfied tonight.

"Paul struggles with small talk." Honestly, Ruairi, it’s not nice to call it small. #thearchers

"Jolene finds herself bearing the brunt" Presumably that'll be the brunt of Emma's unstoppable rage when she finds out her precious baby might be serving slightly more of his sentence than expected. #thearchers

Moldovan President Maia Sandu has commented on the protests in Tbilisi. 🔴 Georgia live updates: oc-media.org/live-updates...

You were famous, Your heart was a legend. (55 years ago today.)

Strange bedfellows.

If the Israeli government doesn't like being caller murderous and genocidal, it should stop murdering people and committing genocide. #bbcaq

The bottom line on PA is that many of us are not prepared to just take Yvette Cooper's word for it. #bbcaq

These police arresting demonstrators in London.. Are they the racist, misogynistic, gratuitously violent ones? #bbcaq

Ah. It's dehumanise the Palestinians time. #bbcaq

Dear caller. You can be anti-genocide without being anti-Israel. In fact, the genocide is also harming Israel. #bbcaq

IMO Badenoch's statements on net zero are mainly an attempt to appeal to voters who have defected to Reform. #bbcaq

Remembering Tom and Jerry.

New "Only Murders in the Building" Awesome!

I'm pretty sure no one in the parliamentary Conservative Party thinks Kemi is doing a good job. And that includes Kemi. #bbcaq

"The UK contributes only about 1% of global gas emissions." And we are only about 0.5% of the global population. #bbcaq

Go George! #bbcaq

We have high energy costs due to treasury policy, not net zero. Renewables are much cheaper than energy from hydrocarbons. #bbcaq

Yeah, yeah. The suffragettes used to bomb things. Their cause was, obviously, righteous. But, you should be careful about choosing them as an example when arguing to limit anyone's protests. #bbcaq

Back in the middle 80s, I was briefly the security guard at a synagogue on Saturdays. I was young and naive and didn't really understand why they felt the needs of me. But, my point is, this is sadly not a new phenomenon. Shabbat shalom #bbcaq

He's right about social media. Negative emotions glean more clicks and therefore make more profit. #bbcaq

Combatting bigotry of all kinds is difficult. Especially when you have certain political activists, influencers and newspapers working to increase it. #bbcaq

Looking forward to Monbiot's contribution. #bbcaq

The pro-Palestinian marches are not a 'glorification of the death of Jews', they are a protest at the death of Palestinians. #bbcaq #bbcpm

The attack in Manchester was appalling, and I feel for the victims and their loved ones. The repeated attempts to weaponise the event to attack anti-genocide protests are revolting in their cynicism and disrespectful to those who died. #c4news

Tell us about these terrorist acts performed by Palestine Action. NB I personally don't think splashing paint on some planes counts. #c4news

I wonder if the people marching this weekend can also imagine they’ve lost a loved one to a 2000 lb bomb or an IDF sniper who's gamifying murder. #c4news

Can't tell his partner the truth. That'll be the Grundy Y chromosome kicking in. #thearchers

I'm looking forward to Kirsty's beaver release. #thearchers

That was subtle. I wonder who Justin was expecting as a lunch guest. #thearchers

"Like you've dropped your wallet in the septic tank." Go Brad! #thearchers

My profile text says quite clearly that I can't access DMs. But, this number keeps going up. Someone somewhere probably thinks I'm quite rude.

Trump's deal is designed to be unacceptable to Hamas. It's a smokescreen for continuing the genocide. #bbcpm

"The government's position is that they are not complicit in genocide." Yet again, we have to draw on the wisdom of the late Mandy Rice-Davies Well, they would say that, wouldn't they. #bbcpm

I have to say, Polanski is doing a cracking job of grabbing media attention. And not a paddleboard or waterslide in sight. #bbcpm

Indiscriminate mass murder makes people angry. Who knew? #bbcpm

All this coverage about rising antisemitism has an enormous, great hole in it. You cannot point out the important truth, that British Jews are not in any way responsible for Netanyahu's genocide, if you don't mention the genocide. #wato

"God is the head of our church, and God needs to solve our problems." I look forward to reading his memo. #r4today
