I am sorry to be watching this ' unravelling' news report .

I hope she will be OK. Her poor family.

It is being reported that 2 people have been shot and 2 stabbings but no police confirmation as yet. The area is on lock down at the moment and there is a Primary School in the vicinity .

I hope the gunman is caught soon.

She did seem a bit out of her depth (trying to be kind) Merlot

It's finished - when do they have to stop talking about it - until they start again after the result?

I thought Paxman and Julia Hartley Brewer were quite rude to her. She wasn't just talking about her music. She was talking about the arts as a whole, or would have done if she hadn't been so rudely shouted down by them.
Are the arts and music not important in this country?

Of course they are but they were talking about security.

Paxman is innately rude. She did have a point to make but not a quick one sadly.

Anyone know when we have to go over to the filler programmes - midnight?

I am a bad person. I left the comedy programme on - I have never seen it before and laughed out loud at a joke about Osborne and the Wicker Man. It was a very bad (not nice, unkind, almost stirring up hatred) joke but very funny. Can I ever be forgiven?
