Ash appears to be unable to control the teenage rolling eyes and huffing & puffing. She may be easy on the eye but somewhat irritating of manner.

It takes all sorts.

Not sure why but Ash I don’t find her remotely attractive

Note Fiona not telling Ash to shut the F up despite her constantly interrupting

Indeed.

Choo Choo just ignored her

My brain switches off when she talks. Those waving talons and hand gesticulations. Zzzzzz Zzzzzz

Sorry to be a Debbie downer but ‘kind’ is manana. It’s a horrible world. Writing kindness into a manifesto is like wanting world peace. Teach children to grow into kind adults but you won’t be able to mandate it. Utter wifffle.

I think the general idea of promoting kindness, or civility or whatever you want to call it, not to be a complete waste of time. Unfortunately at the moment the list of things that need sorting is getting quite long, so we have bigger fish to fry.

I’m sure he’d be happy to stick a finger in a dyke.

I thought the idea was to stop a flood, not start one.

It’s fair enough for her to have a pop at Bozza. It’s her job after all.

I find her exactly what I want from a reasonable Labour MP. She is quite unlike the usual grizzly commies and shrill sharp-tongued termagants who normally represent Labour on QT.

Free view?

Netflix seems to have passed Davies by.

[Not-The-Messiah]

Why do they have Ash on the alternative is like having Tommy Robinson on?

[Ridgemont]

Total common sense from portillo on license fee.

[Ridgemont]

LOL - ‘I don’t want to keep butting in’ sez Bruce.

Aux contraire Rodney aux contraire..

[Bonefish Blues]

Portillo the only one with gravitas there.

Netflix seems to have passed Davies by.

It raises a good point though which is key in turning the BBC to a subscription based model. How do they collect subscriptions for people watching on freeview etc?

Portillo is right about monetising the content globally in a better way though.

That aside, I'm sure these switched on techies he works with who apparently can't access bbc iplayer from abroad know exactly how to use a VPN to catch up on their favourite programmes.

[Ridgemont]

License fee - £12.80ish a month
Netflix - from £5.99 a month

Portillo is absolutely spot on.

But would they want to?

Okayish episode. Everyone apart from clueless far left drone quite reasonable. Bruce annoying.

Standard.
