Just got an email from Bath and West Showground. My reply: "OK, drag queens. What on Earth gives you the idea that I, or any of your other email recipients, want to see drag queens?" OK, it may be funny for a bloke to dress up as a parody of a woman in a Pythonesque way or for

BBC presenter on their flagship BBC Radio 4 Today news programme labelling RFK jr a "vaccine denier". How can they get away with this nonsense? I will complain but I'm not holding my breath.
