@StephenNolan @ClaireHanna @BBCiPlayer It’s the way she thinks the sdlp would improve it. Their minister in the last mandate was the worst and that’s quite an achievement. There is a reason they were voted out of something that is very hard to be voted out of.

@StephenNolan @EoinTennyson @BBCiPlayer Alliance dress up crucial issues of womens rights & child safeguarding as culture wars. My rights aren't a culture war. Then they distract by 2 MLA's making cringe videos. You'd think they'd never been in Stormont to hear Tennyson whine. Take responsibility for this circus too.

@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Pavement parking is an issue. Local government needs to review pavements not just concentrate on fining motorists who are trying to keep carriageways clear. Pavements vary in width across all authorities without rhyme or reason. A metre could be taken off many pavements.

(@46Ruthie) reported
@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Grr, Overpopulation is causing parking problems. If the government didn’t allow so many people to move here it wouldn’t be as bad! Typical that We are told to cycle, walk or bus because of immigration.

@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Another big issue with pavement parking is new estates, often flats in converted commercial buildings not having to provide enough parking as local councils think it’ll encourage people to use public transport rather than cars. This will never work!

(@AntonMcG) reported
@StephenNolan @JonBurrowsMLA @BBCiPlayer It's the voting public he needs to worry about. He's turning up everywhere in the media to force his name down people's throats, which seems to be the way of the UUP. It doesn't work, it's been proven before to be an unreliable PR method. People get sick of it very quickly.

@BBCMOTD @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Who is the woman screeching throughout the Arsenal match? It’s not a commentary, it’s a string of tired cliches she thinks of she screeches loudly enough, she’ll sound convincing. She’s awful.

Literally never watched the Winter Olympics and after having to endure the absolute dogshit broadcasting from @BBCSport and the @BBCiPlayer being the shittest platform of all time, I’m unlikely to watch it again.. No wonder everyone is binning the licence off.. Awful broadcaster

@BBCiPlayer your programme is broken, I clicked on Winter Olympics: Team Skating today in order to watch the Team Figure Skating competition and got Skiing, Snowboarding, Ice Hockey, Ski jumping and Curling. If I click on a thing that says Team Skating I expect to watch that! 😡

@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.

@farman_arts @simon_schama @BBCiPlayer Good luck finding anything like the quality of that documentary on any other platform. Only possible due to the licence fee.

@StephenNolan @EoinTennyson @BBCiPlayer Pretending not to be part of the problem means you will never be part of the solution. Spending Friday night in RVH ED in excruciating pain along with 180 or so other people like me. To talk to my GP meant waiting until Monday after Thursday’s request for help. My GP doesn’t like to take messages. “What can you do as my GP to help?” the receptionist told me.

@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer There's "**** thick" and then there's this lot. Lord Sugar, I think it's time for you to call it a day. The BBC has milked it and you don't want to tarnish your good name. Let's face it, the country is in a state and if this is the future, then God help us.
