Plank Of The Week with Mike Graham | 26-May-23

Will you miss Phillip Schofield?

[@michellelandale1187]

No.

[@LadyThunderbird63]

Who??

Can she go on This Morning?

Just love Mike Graham!

he’s the greatest. Don’t always agree with him but he’s hilarious as well as being 98% right on everything !!

Esther is not only beautiful, but bubbling over with humor..

[@13thcentury]

She's well fit

[@BlackStump172]

Esther also is clever and speaks beautifully!

[@MadHatter-cj8bh]

I love this show, even though I'm in the USA. I'm not familiar with some of the people they refer to, but they do a good job explaining.

[@jim9667]

Much love to our US cousins 👍

[@richardfox6595]

I could just imagine a US version but the free speech destroyers would sabotage it in no time. Tucker Carlson could chair with panelists like Candace Owens, Tulsi Gabbard, Dave Rubin, Tyrus, Judge Jeanine Plenty of planks from the President to Don Lemon, Liar Thomas, AOC, Alvin Bragg, The View hosts, KJP, the CNN reporters who got assaulted by their besties...

don’t you have the Gutfield five, is it? That’s pretty great 👍

[@jackieo8235]

I think you would get sick of Biden being plank of the week.

[@irenepwheeldon]

The police should be arresting the protesters for public order offences, not the poor bloke trying to get to work. No wonder the crime rate is going up. Why don't they protest about something important like the cost of living and the plight of the poor starving in this country. I am sure oil is the last of these peoples problems.

[@coot1925]

Lets face it. Politicians are not interested in the welfare of the country or the wellbeing of the people. They will say anything they feel will further their careers.

[@talktv]

Should Just Stop Oil protesters be moved out of the road?

[@kathykoeven]

Definitely!

[@caroline73337]

Yes.

[@kinvara5621]

Moved out of the road to solitary confinement

[@rosieposie6521]

YES OFCOURSE. YES

[@lenb9037]

They should be arrested, put in a cell and made to pay compensation for the disruption and police time.

[@maureenwood2752]

I thoroughly enjoyed the show...will tune in again for more fun and wit

[@Mags1906]

That was hilariously funny!! Much needed straight talking with a lot of humour. Thank you. 😂😂😂

[@Ironsmiler]

Imagine if we all acted in the correct fashion, like the bloke chucking the deadbeats off the road? The Police couldn't nick everyone. More power to his elbow.

[@sueedwards9334]

Agree - his only mistake was not to go in with a group of 40-50 friends.

[@mrsnuffleupagus9014]

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. Aleksandr I.

That was a great episode, they all need to come on more often.

[@Magidek]

First time I watched your show and have to say that I enjoyed it very much. Funny relaxed opened discussion and opinions that actually resonate with most of us. I will be watching your show again infact I'll subscribe. Thank you for the good entertainment 🎉given❤

Surely stopping traffic falls foul of Anti Social Behaviour laws, sinister times.

[@Deafeatist]

We are in the age where anti social behaviour is championed 😔😔😔

[@SuzyQ334]

I'm sure there used to be a law in the UK against obstructing a public highway. What do they teach the police at Hendon these days?

Quite simply it's the best show on TV 😂😂😂 love it

[@tansysmith5126]

Oh my goodness that's the best episode ever love you from down under 😂🇦🇺

[@keithrobinson7201]

Esther Krakue, has so many observations that I want to hear, but is continually interrupted by the panel before she can make her point, why she endures these constant hindrances I cannot imagine.

[@gwendolinelindsay4647]

I’ve noticed that also. Which makes me wonder if she hasn’t noticed and ask herself why she is there

[@vioricasporea8212]

Nobody of other skin colour should go to the next 28 shows and let it be a 29 nights black-out event.

The fix, '' Doctor, i was born in the wrong body '' No, you're very unwell, but there's no such thing, let's refer you to a Mental Health Team.

[@lilspeth]

So you were born a rhinoceros?

[@irenepwheeldon]

It is dreadful that 'children' are, through Childline, addressing these gender issues !!! Children going through puberty will experience hormonal problems and be confused. We have all gone through it and know this. MOM or DAD knows best and will explain this to them hopefully. Bringing up gender issues is over the top and not needed. Stop over feeding our kids with stupid ideas.

[@sidnotvicious8442]

I partly disagree with Esther on Suella Braverman. I think Suella has the right ideas about reducing the small boat invasion, however she is being stymied by either the Civil Service or the PM. Plus the big factor in her favour is that the Extreme Left, like BBC and Sky keep going after her. If they are so relentlessly trying to bring her down then she must be doing something right.

[@Bella-zq6nb]

My two favourite presenters, Mike Graham and J K.

[@ferraridinoman]

Good and entertaining! and made me laugh!!

[@skeletonkey6733]

I have neighbors next door who support any eco disruptional grouping and are pains in the arse with their property looking like a camp from Greenham common and wish they would just go and live on some desolate Scottish Island and be miserable. Just leave normal people alone and stop trying to impose youre own extremism.

[@mareandickson3058]

And what has the good people of Scotland done to deserve that... we're already a 'dumping ground' for many different ethnicities & you want to dump eco warriors on us..

[@marcellodelira5601]

A fabulous panel! 👏🏼👍🏼

[@cindyfaulkner5725]

I felt sorry for that teacher until I saw the clip of him speaking to Piers Morgan, now I think he should never be let near any other child.

[@kathykoeven]

I thought the same.

[@ferraridinoman]

I'm with you! But as you say the Guy "isn't the ticket!"

[@heatherscammell2235]

As a Catholic, Piers should have understood he was trying to say that we are all sinners and ‘the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’ which is basic Christian belief. But Piers took advantage of his nervousness and tied him up in knots to make him sound bigoted.

[@ferraridinoman]

@@heatherscammell2235 Sorry, keep away from ALL fanatical religious loonytunes. Would not have let this Guy anywhere near my girls when they went to school. Think the powers to be made the right decision to ban him from teaching!

[@phantomstrangermedia]

I strongly suspect that the teacher was a man of simple faith who, despite classroom experience, has never had to explain his Christian beliefs to others before. I am not religious, but I understand that people who are not trained in interpreting sacred pronouncements often tend to tritely repeat the slogans & phrases they have heard during worship. Look at the Talmud - anti-semites will tell you that it instructs Jews that it is ok to perjure themselves in court, cheat business partners, steal & even rape children as long as all the victims in these matters are not Jews. However, the counter argument is that these lists of permitted acts should be viewed as moral questions, rather than a license to commit crimes. I venture to suggest that if Piers Morgan invited a Rabbi to read from the Talmud without any clarification or context, the Rabbi would sound just as unreasonable & potentially nuts as the unprepared school teacher.

[@sugarkane4830]

Oh my Esther is so beautiful.

The show would be much better if people could finish their thoughts without somebody trying to talk over them or three people trying to talk over them. This is one big mess. Please allow people to finish their thought. There were a lot of good points in their butt, I couldn’t hear them fully.

[@crystalemeralddiamond9571]

You have an enjoyable show but it really spoils it when you interrupt people while they're speaking their piece. If your reason for this is that you're running out of time then either reduce your panel size or how many topics they can introduce. Stop shouting and talking over each other and have some patience and LISTEN. Your behaviour is mirrored by your guests. I'm not wanting to spoil your fun, I'm letting you know how you come across from THIS viewers perspective. Manners.

[@annoravetz5908]

In the US, the private sector took it upon themselves to incentivize fitness and wellness with various educational programs. It reduced health claims, which of course you don't have in the UK with NHS. In the UK, you will have reduced claims, and hence, reduced taxes. Who doesn't want to pay less taxes? I tell you, under my employers' encouragements, through my whole career, I have run more miles, taken more steps, drunk much, much more water, and spent more hours working out at the gymn and in yoga class, than I would have if I had never had the ubiquitous encouragement from my employers' wellness programs.
