I shd have said, ‘Celebrities are sheep’, not ‘people are sheep’. This was CELEBRITY Traitors. Never watched the T game before cos hate idea of a game based on treachery. Celebs maybe did badly cos they MUST believe what they’re told, & eg in ‘Big Dogs’. Games can be levellers.
#CelebrityTraitors Finally watched it. Learned things I half-knew. People are sheep, & FAR too reliant on reputations, eg ‘Stephen Fry is a genius.’ Not at this game. Clever people don’t trust instincts or dare ask obvious Qs, so are stupid. @JoeMarler, rugby king, the sharpest!

Got my times a bit confused after coming back from New York and then the clocks going back, - I put mine forward! - but look at this wonderful bonus from my study window

I don’t like the way Nick Robinson constantly interrupts women like Rachel Reeves on @BBCRadio4. He’s different with his mates. I usually like him OK but today he came over as a bully, referring to her crying etc. Has he ever cried, & wd he like to be publicly reminded of it?

I rarely post politics but with “ “Reform””, unbelievably, ahead in the polls, this clip of the demolition of Farage’s claims to support free speech deserves airing.
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

‘Frank Cattrell Boyce’, re my last tweet on his R4 ‘Summer Books praise for Catherine Johnson. Never tweet fresh from the shower with slippery fingers, & pre-first cup of tea.

And the scent. There’s a vacant lot on my walk into town, and it’s overgrown with buddleia. The air as you approach is so sweet. And they dare to call it ‘weed’!
