By all accounts, the BBC is losing £1 million a year for people cancelling the licence fee or evading paying it.
I’ll say this for the issue of scrapping the license fee. It’s a debate that won’t go away. Not that I condone evading it when you should pay it.

In the upcoming War between the Land and the Sea (next month on BBC1) this would appear to be the perfect solution.

SUBSTACK 🆕: An unexpected event happened to me on Friday morning that I've been itching to write about ever since it happened. I am autistic, and I always have been.
This was a perfect example of what we call "autistic overwhelm".

To put it mildly, that was not good enough. Even when we were a goal up at half time, which was better than we managed last week, we were second best by some distance.
I'm firmly of the belief now that we've squandered any chance of getting back into the Champions League next season, certainly

THREAD: At this time of year, every year, the final scene of Blackadder Goes Forth is never far from my mind. I was thinking about this, among other things, when we did the Remembrance Sunday 2-minute silence at church.

The best thing I can say about that performance is that we don't have a lot of time to reflect on it. That was really very poor. Extremely disappointing from us. Can't say it's not like us, though. West Ham good value for the win
Champions League up next for us.

A good game between 2 good teams. Spurs are a different outfit under Thomas Frank and they caused us a lot of problems. But we defended well and were an attacking threat ourselves. Everyone contributed.
Good performance, and we're in the quarter finals.

A few simple paragraphs on the state of the world right now.
The bit about “outrage as entertainment” and the candles to basic decency metaphor. Social and right wing media have so much to answer for.
It can all feel a bit grim when it’s 6am in late October and it’s cold and dark…

Not a lot to say about this one. Just a fine night's work, much improved performances from players with things to prove. Nick Pope with a worldy of an assist i'll not forget.
In the top 8 of the Champions League on the night. Now to welcome Fulham in the Premier League

Think this one goes in the "good effort, but you win some and you lose some" category. Certainly our best performance at the Amex I can remember for some time. But it's points that count. Disappointing defeat.
It's done now. Benfica in the Champions League next. HWTL!!

Very happy with that. Average performance, especially in the first half. Credit to Nottingham Forest for their part in that. But it's a big win. Exquisite goal from Bruno G. Big Nick gets a third successive goal at home. A clean sheet. A lot to shout about.

What's wrong with this photo? Nothing that I can see. It's an image from a Children's show called Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous that is shown on Netflix.

When I was a boy, when something came on the television and I didn't like it, I pleaded my case. Generally I tended to lose my case and then went away and did something else.

That was our biggest ever Champions league away win. A thoroughly enjoyable watch.
Eddie Howe went into this game saying Newcastle needed to prove a point, and tonight I think they did that. A superb attacking performance. The better team of 2 good teams on the night. #NUFC #USGNEW

What else can I say except that was an absolute sickener. Heartbreaking. Arsenal were the better team throughout, there's no doubt but again we gave everything we had and it wasn't enough.
We defended so solidly, and we had to.
This one hurts.
Champions League on Wednesday. Yay? HWTL ⚽️⚫️⚪️

Right. Having established this is genuine...
This is what I talked about this morning on my Substack this morning. ☹️
This isn't just some deranged rambling from a mentally unstable old man. That gives Donald Trump far too much credit.
This deliberate. And Sinister.

Well, that was a very entertaining game. The result tonight was not a given, nor was that performance, which was fast, strong, fluid and goals aplenty. We haven't had enough of that in recent weeks.

A third successive 0-0 draw. I think it'll go down as a good point. Our best performance here at the Vitality Stadium since the Covid game.
We are still finding it hard to score goals. Which is concerning.
That's it, really. Bradford game next up.

This one is more personal to me than most of the insane rantings of Donald Trump and his administration.
So I think it's important I pre-empt this in my own little corner of social media because it's been trailed by the Trump Administration for some time.
