Question Time

I checked in to the promo this evening and just knew that the genocide in Gaza (or yesterday's horrific slaughter) would not be discussed. And guess what? It wasn't.

Jeremy Vine's TV Candy show

Yes The recent massacres could not be mentioned without conceding that Israel/US broke the Ceasefire. It gives no occasion to Condemn Hamas So let it not be mentioned.

I knew it would not be mentioned and neither could the Wealth Tax on Yesterdays JV because Owen Jones was on the show; he might give the kind of persuasive outburst that has extruded him from the BBC.

So It was small talk all the way, and nobody talks small better than Jeremy Vine. He is very likeable in the way Bertie Wooster is likeable. He has a limited intellect but it is always busy with goodnatured ruminations. Ideas pop into his head; non sequiturs pop out of his mouth. (His reaction to Putin's invasion of Ukraine was:could this be a move to get Trump elected?)

It is to his credit that he has Jones on his show, which is usually an argy bargy between a centrist harridan and an apopleptic gammon, tho I have never heard him allow Jones finish a sentence. A trolling listener got thru demanding to know why he had allowed a notorious anti-semite on his show

He does not have one. Storm Huntley used to rein in his wilder fancies. She has sensible opinions tho of course no dangerous ones.

I seem to see that posts of mine have disappeared above. Either I have transgressed or hallucinated

Nah, you just have to be more serious about search options of the board to find your posts. It happens with me time and again. It ain't easy, and the search options are quite limited .. granted. Depends which words you use .. mostly.
