I hope it’s not true with everything that’s going on with Prince Andrew. Anyone else heard this?

Apart from anything else would bbc radio presenters be doing the usual stupid, daft stuff? Or would there be a more sombre mood?

Well Nicola Sturgeon is on live and wearing purple.

Random question and please excuse my ignorance, but why would it be announced at 9.30am and not when the news first starts?

If I was a tv presenter and of a mischievous mind I would wear black today given the rumours- just for the amusement value of winding people up...

So, are any of the people who's DH "confirmed it was true" going to come back and admit they're talking bollocks?

BlouseAndSkirt · 02/12/2019 09:32

“I think gibbo and ricey are the sources of the original tweets”

Gibbs is Head of Communications for HM Forces (Combined), and Ricey is the CEO of Palace Proclamations.com , the outsourced PR agency for the Royal Family.

Nicola Sturgeon is still talking about hospitals. Come on BBC, this is embarrassing.

Eh? Why should the BBC be embarrassed?
