🖇️🔎 Me in a series of posts in 2023
But most importantly 🔗 the BBC earlier this year
The BBC has apologised to staff who felt they could not speak up with concerns about Russell Brand’s behaviour because he was seen as “too influential” and they felt he “would always get his way and therefore they stayed silent”.
But Robin Ince? Fire🔗 the fucker.
All this comes to mind as I watch the emerging BBC/Trump case.
Good. Clean. Fast. Not yet in my navigation - already have @sod search there. Unclear why one and not the other.

The Tinted Rose 📍
Talking of excellent beverages … The Tinted Rose is just down the road from PPO. Smaller, more subtle. Beer choice not extensive - but great cocktails and an excellent wine list.
