I want to laugh. I desperately want this to be able to be satire.
It's beyond that now. I'm more horrified by the day.
I'm a wooly liberal pacifist generally but I fear only a full on civil war will resolve this, one way or another. I hope his side are the losers.

Miraj is known as Rent-a-Gob in my house, as he seems to always show up on bloody everything. The annoying kid who'd hold his hand up for everything in school going 'pick me, I'll do anything'

It goes out live on iPlayer at 9pm. After that broadcast has finished you can't watch it until the BBC 1 broadcast happens I believe.

Solidarity. I don't think I've ever had something that far done before I've realised, but I've unpicked before in a rage and broken the fabric. Don't do that!

funnily enough I thought of you when they tried pushing this narrative. I wonder why?
God, I miss your kindness and wisdom from our airwaves.

It was a wonderful evening, my first time seeing you since about 2001 (life gets in the way sometimes) but I promise not to leave it another 24 years til I see you again!

Superb work Chris, though dammit I cried at Henry's film. I've described my brain as like having a tornado whirling round me with me trying to pluck the tasks out of it when I can't see what they are, so TombolaMan was not dissimilar.
Looking forward to the dyslexia one too. An excellent series.
