I wish I didnโt have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as โthe most openly corrupt president in American history.โ /1

A protest is being held to bring Marcus Fakana, 18, home after he was sentenced to 1 year in prison in Dubai over a holiday romance where he had sex with a then 17-yo British girl he met while there on a family holiday. More to follow.

This is a young man I know personally. He is 14 and has had a new haircut (shown). He has been given a 60 mins detention EVERY evening & isolation every break & lunch until his hair grows. Help - is this normal educational behaviour? I am horrified.

Luckily no painting or glazing required. No merry songs either. But boiler now singing a happy, warming song, as is my grandson! Thanks @BGHomeCare200 @BritishGasHelp warming up from 15C!

Thank you, H, @BGHomeCare200 for your help. I look forward to a visit from engineer in the next few hours to sort my boiler. Much appreciated. I'll keep you posted as to how it all works out.

I have @BritishGas @BGHomeCare200, but I have no heating, no hot water, and limited electricity. Been wrong since 23/12 Engineers will come on Wednesday 27. @BGHomeCare200 is expensive. I'm to wait for help even though I'm 'vulnerable'. Not the best Christmas present. HC 2 U!
