No matter what you throw at me, I shall never stop fighting to strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty.

"I need you to find my son." For a few hundred quid? #EastEnders

"Since when have you had high standards? I've seen you reuse the lemon slices." #EastEnders

"Oh my God, I've got a Stiffy!" #CoronationStreet #Corrie

Do singers really name their microphones? #CoronationStreet #Corrie

This is like the Greased Lightning scene in Grease. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

Bethany Platt herself might well be my #Halloween costume. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

"He's even got the same hair as Joel." We were all thinking it. And to have your lid accurately critiqued by *Ricky*, well, it just doesn't get any worse than that, does it? #EastEnders

I'll say this for Okie's crew, they keep that flat so clean and tidy that it could be a television set. Are all drug dens like that? #EastEnders

Tracyluv. Ah, the past glories of #CoronationStreet #Corrie.

"I don't glow"? Really? When the lights go out, I go through the seven colours of the rainbow in the course of a week. I thought everyone did. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 4d

I had forgotten about Bethany's stoma. And I used to have one. That is probably a sign that the storyline worked. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

Well, that took me back. And Lee MacDonald was briefly in #EastEnders a few years ago.

Sacked for what? Husband-stealing? Having a boyfriend with a diva for a stepdaughter? I am not following this. #EastEnders

Harvey reads my Bluesky. #EastEnders

With two sons, Mother Superior Kathy Beale faked her own death. Ian protected Bobby, his son, who had murdered Lucy, Ian's daughter. One could go on. Ross should have been watching #EastEnders.

"Do you know what they're watching right now?" #EastEnders, one trusts.

"Who put 50p in your slot?" And since when could anyone talk to a pub landlady like that about her son and not be barred? #EastEnders

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

"No more secrets"? Oh, dear Lord, anything but that line. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

I thought so. Abi is Kevin's *wife*. So how could he possibly have been her job referee? #CoronationStreet #Corrie

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

One more person, and we'd have to register as an HMO. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

What is it with the soaps and families of three dads and a daughter? I blame Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson. #EastEnders #CoronationStreet #Corrie

"Well, you've driven two men away in as many minutes. That's a record even for you, Todd." #CoronationStreet #Corrie

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

Todd has gone to the pub without having taken a shower or changed his clothes, like an old school straight male stopout. As an archdeacon's widow once said to me, "I miss the old queens, you knew where you were with them." #CoronationStreet #Corrie

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

#Corrie may be all very metrosexual, and gender fluid, and all that these days, but the writers have clearly decided that the #CoronationStreet matron (Sally) and the Queen of the Rovers Return (Glenda) must dress like their respective predecessors in the Golden Age.

David Lindsay @davidaslindsay.bsky.social · 6d

How could Kevin have written a reference for Abi, anyway? How could she have given him as a referee? #CoronationStreet #Corrie
