The BBC needs maintenance work, not demolition, unless you want it replaced by a sinister clown show like Fox News, or forced to advertise to make it as shitty as everything else. If so, you don't understand what makes it unique, and quite possibly how to tie your own shoes.

The importance of the owl in Welsh tradition @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
Followed by Liz Edwards from @yganolfangeltaidd.bsky.social telling us about the possibility that this illustrated owl - found by Pennant in a collection at Bryn-y-Pys - might have been one of his favourites, thanks to repeated appearances in his extra-illustrated books
