@mrjamesob.bsky.social we are currently in France looking for a new home. The UK feels the way it did when I grew up in the 70s. When will Mind your language be revamped and shown on British TV?
Merry Christmas Matthew, your show is the best thing on radio.
Running out of time to say stuff as phones go away on holiday but I end year in a far, far better state than I started it and aside from Amelia, Cassady, Elliot and team at LBC and my chums new and old Iβm also very grateful for the support and understanding Iβve received here from so many of you x
Merry Christmas! From 7 @lbc.co.uk: has the EU failed to unite behind Ukraine? Kemi Badenoch has refused to back Labourβs strategy to protect women from male violence saying the whole problem is due to migrants - discuss! Plus if higher wages wonβt get 1m NEETs working what will? 0345 6060973 x
@matthew-wright.bsky.social Merry Christmas Matthew, thanks for being my favourite radio broadcaster in 2024. Enjoy your break.
@matthew-wright.bsky.social please can we stop calling Facebook social media. Their global ad revenue for that one platform is Β£100 billion. They are all ad platforms.
Councillors have been caught on camera, making comments about a resident whilst out canvassing, using mobile phones during meetings and making accusations about Councillors from another political group.

@matthew-wright.bsky.social just listening to todayβs show. The problem could be solved easily. Just legalise, why would we as a society send our most vulnerable to the most unscrupulous dealers.
I left the United States for that very reason (aka trump), to return to the UK after 20 yrs in New York.
And now it looks like Iβm going to have to find another country in 3-4 yrs time.
From 7 @lbc.co.uk antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, even hatred towards women is the rise. How do we assuage all this anger? Will giving Britain a version of Trumpβs ICE goons save the Tories? And do slow workers deserve the sack? 0345 6060973 x
@matthew-wright.bsky.social itβs so upsetting the realisation that the UK is not the tolerant country I believed I lived inβ¦.
Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from Russia to make pro Russian statements.
Richard Tice - Deputy Leader of Reform: I have never met Nathan Gill and he has nothing to do with Reform.
Well ok thenβ¦
On @lbc.co.uk from 7: Labour tries to bring in ID cards again. Why, why now? Can Keir Starmer cash in on rising nationalist tendencies with a positive narrative to counter all the backward-looking ones? And naming and shaming offenders doing community punishments - whatβs the point? 0345 6060973
@matthew-wright.bsky.social Why donβt we just realise prison is just for punishment. All people want is a pound of flesh. I think we should actually try to rehabilitate these individuals not shaming.
You need to revolt like the French first. And reset the way wealth is distributed. After all, it is the 99% who make it for the 1% who keep it. Otherwise, the powers that be will continue to rape and pillage the country on a scale Ragnar Lothbrok could only ever dream about.
And why the people who peddled all this bullshit need to be held to account. Itβs one thing people being dense and voting for it, but all those who openly lied to con those people into believing it need to be punished.
UK ECONOMY since Brexit

π·Average earnings down 2.8%
Now can you see why we need to Rejoin?
@mrjamesob.bsky.social itβs all about money. The uk ad market has grown massively in the last 20 years, digital advertising now accounts for 70% of all ad revenues in the uk (35billion) unless regulated it will grow even more powerful. It needs to be regulated

Not really sure you are understanding the point. Try not to be an antisemite.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Thanks to you and other media correspondents racism is rife in the UK. When discussing business with a member of my family I was asked βare you still accepting Jew moneyβ. This level of racism is now affecting everything.
