wbd (@chazul11) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity!

Shantilal Patel (@PatelShant84519) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I get my present and I still could not get a place the council wouldn’t help me. I was on road for two weeks, but yet these people come in and they get a nice four star hotel three 3 meal a day what a ******* joke

Kylie Mulcare (@KylieMulcare) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Elaine is being constantly written as a vile human, in the name of “comedy”. Her delivery and sarcasm worked when she was behind the bar of the Vic. Now she simply comes across like she doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. Writers Room, do better.

Kev Wrigley (@KevWrigley) reported@Woodarmyfc @I_amMukhtar @BBCiPlayer no mate, you're just being ridiculous. Not every person at the BBC is a scumbag **** apologist. But in taking that myopic attitude you've ended up making assumptions using the worst example, one of the key people in Savilles downfall. Stop being weird

ScottieTinkerbell (@sc_tinkerbell) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer My thought wow nobody was actually hurt in that. Minor injuries only. But nobody really trapped, no broken bones. Everyone just walked out. Ravi the acting is fantastic!

Wheeled Warrior (@WarriorWheeled) reported@PaulaRossi47 @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer I will trade with you Paula…. You can take my 24/7 pain, my inability to walk, my fatigue and my other issues all whilst working about 50 hours a week and living on about 3hrs sleep a night. Be no problem for you will it??

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.

Paul Miller (@Mill01234565) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer No one, I saw, mentions the amount of people using their own money to go private. But governments UK and Scottish spend more time dealing with ideological or minority issues. Whether its SNP or Labour we are being let down and we seem happy to vote for the muppets letting us down

Martyep74 (@martyep74) reported@StephenNolan @nipsa @BBCiPlayer P/1 👉 She is correct, amazes me ppl speaking about this yet haven't a clue what's happening 👉 the name and shame happened at same time as UC migration which is full of errors and untrained staff, a lot of people are getting done on benefit fraud through no fault of theirs and

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time.
