Depressingly weak showing from @BBCNewsnight panel for #RejoinEU. Even @campbellclaret, once a stout remainer, was lily-livered, worried about EU being right wing. That’s not the point, nor is economics, when it comes to belonging and freedom. #bollockstobrexit #Brexit
End #Brexit - I have added my name: the UK should aim to join the European Union by 2036. Will you add yours? europeanmovement.co.uk/join_…
As far as I know, the “news” in @BBCNewsnight indicates it’s a news prog. Not for @vicderbyshire, who spends half an hour in a characteristically maudlin review of a 66-year-old event. Anniversary journalism, the cheapest form.
The Global Story on Trump and fuel @bbcworldservice ok but blighted by distracting sound design and @BenChu_’s parochial idea that gasoline in Europe is “petrol”. Executive producer Martine Powers and team need to go back to school, study geography and production. @BBCR4Feedback
Turn on @BBCRadio3 for some illumination on western classical music and get the extraordinary banality of @ColinCurrieGrp performing the static, amateur bore @SteveReich. @BBCR4Feedback
Can’t believe (well, I can because he’s got to get callers and sell ads) that @BenKentish on @LBC is asking are @reformparty_uk an extremist, racist party when everyone knows xenophobia is Reform’s USP. Super cheap fellow.
All day long, people have lazily been misrepresenting @SuellaBraverman’s statement that she isn’t “ethnically English”, taking it as not “English”. Big difference. Predictably @vicderbyshire on @BBCNewsnight says “English”. Very poor journalism.
Why is @andyburnham, according to his mates at @LBC, leading tributes to Esther Rantzen, member of the British media elite? Isn’t he supposed to be a socialist? Seems like a populist.
Self-declared English patriot @BenKentish on @LBC thinks UK shouldn’t rejoin EU because it would be embarrassing to concede #Brexit voters were wrong. That’s the problem with patriots, narrow-minded people who can only define themselves by tribal affiliation.
Incredibly fawning interview with @andyburnham by @ShelaghFogarty on @LBC. No rigour, lots of chumminess, easiest of rides. Need to get @afneil or similar on the case.
The @BBC is ruined. How much does a BBC weather presenter get paid not to know that “invigorate” is a transitive verb and say “The front will invigorate and bring more rain”? He didn’t even attempt to make it reflexive. @bbcweather is a journalistic disaster. @BBCR4Feedback
I've just donated to @RejoinP to help the party's candidate in the 8 October by-election in Holborn & St Pancras. #RejoinEU #Brexit. Do the same thing: therejoineuparty.com/donate/
On @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire tries to whip up a drama with Darren Jones over ID card funding (he easily resists and sets her straight). Out of her depth as usual.
Can safely say that @BarclaysUK is the worst banking experience I have had. Ridiculously overdone security, broken website and useless CS.

We live in an elective dictatorship with only the trappings of democracy, slaves to an electoral system politicians are reluctant to change and bombarded by streams of mind numbing mental chewing gum. Hey ho!
