00:00 - It is just ace that pretty much all of the reporters asking questions of Stephen Bear, on his way into court to be jailed, were women - watch as they simply & effectively unravelled his toxic bravado by ignoring it. Well done all of you.👇🏼
- Bill Bailey has cut his hair. Now, suddenly, 90% of the population of Keynsham has longer hair than him. This is surely a move he should've consulted us on, like a planning application. Wasn't his hair a Listed Monument? Surely he needed permission from The Wurzels or something?
- Siri, show me 100 seconds of TV to perfectly illustrate how an elite class has been able to rule & own a land & its people, simply by ingraining in generations that a posh voice & supreme confidence is all that’s needed to be in charge.

00:00 - Replying to @TristanCorkPostIt was not the police who initially protected the people inside the hotel from the violent mob, it was a group of Bristol people, who lined up to face them down. The police arrived later
