    It's a good point - is this criticism because of him bringing the BBC into disrepute? Is he displaying intolerance, hatred, bigotry or inciting violence against anyone? 
    Or are his critics upset because he doesn't say things that they agree with?

    Pretty much like this thread.
    Opinion very much polarised - and entirely predictable.

    So she never got to see a pantomime? Or watch Mrs Brown's Boys?
    Actually, now I think about it, there are some positives...

    He'd tried a similar tactic weeks before, apparently. 
    However, flashing at a group of schoolchildren and attacking a woman only led to an invitation to join the Met.

    Indeed......Alway's look at source. 
    On one hand this account is very amusing, the Ellwood reach is odd. He's a no mark back bencher, who hasn't been in cabinet for almost 5 years and could well lose his seat at the next GE. So I'm not sure why they would pick him specifically for disinformation, maybe it's just the easy "gotcha"
    But Ellwood is the tip of the iceberg there, I do like the piece with Met. Morphou claiming the war is all down to Western perversion, witchcraft and satanism. And it's the first time I've seen the, "Moscow- Third Rome" ideology in a while, I'd almost forgotten about it, so it was a good reminder. 
    On the other hand, we can laugh, but these types of accounts are concerning due to their propaganda content. But it's good to see them, so we can be aware of them and the current thinking behind them. 
    It's becoming more and more obvious that Orthodox Christians are really pushing their agenda as they see feel their influence is waning. The hub is in Russia, but they are starting gain traction with Republicans in the U.S and some area's in Europe, their pull and propaganda is even having some sway in the U.K. 
    The current culture wars in the U.S, U.K and Europe are linked to the push to regain status/exert control. It's a continuation of/is closely linked to Putin's mentor Aleksandr Dugin's work in his The Basics of Geopolitics book, whereon the U.S he declares: 
    Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".
    He also declares Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent and should be "Annexed" (his words from 1997) by Russia. I won't go into what he want's for the U.K, other than it's already come to fruition. 
    When you look at the what's going on in the west at the moment, and factor in social media with AI advances and it's ability to send out information of any type, to anyone, rapidly and with no real borders or restrictions. It's pretty obvious what they are up to and it's is certainly concerning.

    I read a story about Jonathan Cainer's astrology pages in the papers, and how the editors would happily move the horoscopes from day to day or from star sign to star sign, so they'd align better on the page. And they paid this bloke shedloads to write them.

    When I was in my early thirties I went out with this girl a lot younger than me, we had quite a long term relationship actually. The age difference didn't worry me but people did used to comment, say horrible things like I was a paedo, I should find someone my own age etc. I remember one time, I was 31 at the time and she was 19, we went to this restaurant and this woman came up and said, out loud and in front of everyone, we should be ashamed of ourselves. It was really sad, totally spoiled our tenth anniversary dinner.

    There should be no drag queens in school time my daughter from a very young age was terrified by anyone dressed up in any costumes including clowns, Easter  bunnies, cartoon characters, mascots etc. As a family we could never attend theme parks, kids parties with anyone dressed in costume. 
    Protecting children should be the the 1st priority and only priority.

    The article is a write-up of a feature that Radio Derby did on Sportscene after the tweet first appeared. Ed is always looking for a new topic to discuss to fill that slot.
    It was harmless enough and just a shame that more women aren't invited onto air to talk about the football. That point was made and the next day they had two female fans on to talk about just that.
    I know two other female fans who do go on Radio Derby occasionally and both get shedloads of abuse on Twitter whenever they do. Says more about Twitter than football fans in general!

    Yes I believe that the reason it hasn't changed is because that schoolkids would be walking to school in the dark, if we went to permanent BST.

    Last September I was playing football with my grandson,and hurt my knee. I didn’t bother the doctors because the knee gradually returned to near normal, but still quite painful at times. It was such a time I winced, and my wife “advised “ me to see the doctor,which I duly attended, knee examination, all OK, I asked for a PSA (having seen the information at Pride Park) check which he duly gave me the paperwork. The test came back 7.1, I’m over 70 so 6.5 is regarded as normal. I was dispatched to the Derby Royal, had the anal examination, ( for the first time) small lump found. In five weeks I’ve had a MRI scan,my prostrate biopsy done, and a QT scan,and I’m now on a hormone treatment plan. It appears they’ve caught the tumour early, and the prognosis is good, they say it will be eliminated. You do lose your dignity at times, but not going through that door and having the exam you could lose a lot more.
    A shout out to the doctors and nurses at the Derby Royal, they have been absolutely terrific, informative, and very understanding, and caring.
