Just watched Farage talking about Trump and BBC and it makes me so miserable that his career has been so helped by an institution he is committed to destroy - I am bewildered

My last thoughts on #gameofwool for this week. Either the applicant vetters know nothing about knitting, which is bad. Or they know loads about knitting, in which case they knew they were throwing Meadow to the wolves in the name of entertainment, which is very bad.

Yes. The BBC isn't perfect - no news organisation is perfect - but the Telegraph article that precipitated this row was a cynical, disingenuous hit-job.
The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it has given in | Jane Martinson
The corporation should have stood up to the Telegraph, Trump and the Tories. Now, its enemies know how little it takes for it to fold, says Jane Martinson, professor of financial journalism

there's so many things they could have done on this show. like highlighting British wool as a material (seeing as they keep showing sheep but working with acrylic), having actual technical challenges with finer yarn, etc.
the contestants all look incredibly stressed. #GameofWool

If they're crocheting on the regular, just turn it into a full "yarn art" competition. Do some needle felting, a bit of loom work too. hell, just make one of those nail & string pics while they're at it.

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership
