This is just to say
I have kept the bra
Which was
In my face

And which
You were probably
Wearing
For exercise

Forgive me
It was an accident
But do
Take them away

The Life Unexamined
With Alison Hammond
Is my favourite thing being transmitted

The brand new chat show
Where “y’know, I don’t know”
Is the only response that’s permitted

If the Prescott memo is true, and there is a secret cabal of LGBTQ+ journalists stopping any negative stories about trans people being published or aired at BBC News, then, I have to say, they’re doing a really fucking shit job of that.

The line-up for the Brighton show is that good I’m considering heading down despite seeing it in London 2 days after.

Brighton & adjacent people sort yourselves out!
Big shifts in the ticket sales rankings! First Place Manchester, Second Place London, Third Place Edinburgh, and joint Fourth Bristol and Brighton. Bristol and Brighton, pull yourselves together.

Maybe a Director Specific would be more focused?

They've tried everything else, so I think it's time the BBC went for a Director General who's good at it.

Seems the bbc will do absolutely anything for celebrity traitors.

To be eligible to be the Director General of the BBC, you have to have been born on one of its programmes.
