The BBC

just caught a 5 Live presenter talking to a couple of 5 Live presenters about the interview they did yesterday with a 5 Live presenter to discuss their 5 Live shows

Stephen Nolan sent *two* sexually explicit images to *several* work colleagues, not only a "long-term friend and peer outside of work" as he claimed on his radio show on Friday. Today’s Irish News. pic.twitter.com/zs1JKvavEJ

looks like Nolan's on air confession/apology was somewhat economical with the truth

I remember this cowardly intellectual minnow repeatedly asking Corbyn to condemn the IRA - what a fucking pumper

Good to see:

i wonder if they'll get the endless "those Chinese are it again" programming featured on the regular World Service?

Lol I am not a radio listener but...I hope not

They're an industrious ppl tbf

one tiny positive about life and death in Gaza: no Malcolm Gladwell NPR programs *analyzing* the causes of political polarisation if you tune into the Arabic wing of BBC WS

So many racists at this organisation like Dan Johnson who like to end their pathetic articles with made-up anecdotes from racists.

So many others refuse to talk about immigration - they fear the possible reaction if they share their view. Time and again I heard "not on camera" and "I can't talk about that".

A local driving instructor who offers lessons in different languages refuses to speak, saying "my tyres would be let down".

Immigration is contentious and, to many in Swindon, the Rwanda plan is controversial. Many local businesses and organisations here were also reluctant to engage. Some people haven't even heard of the plan, let alone formed strong opinions on it.

Vince is one who is happy to talk though.

He points at the bunting he strung across the street for the King's Coronation. He's glad he didn't take it down because he says the council won't put up any Christmas lights this year. He recalls an immigrant who once came in to request he remove the union flags hanging outside the shop.

"He said he found my flags offensive, but I said 'sorry, you'll have to get used to it'."

we must bend over backwards to accommodate the beliefs of those who have been lied to their whole lives, no matter how harmful, rather than question the validity of those beliefs.
