The Welsh Government has reportedly ordered public buildings to fly flags celebrating asexual and “aromantic” people. TalkTV’s Mike Graham hits out at the Welsh Government for its latest policy. “Forget about helping people who can’t afford to feed themselves. What they want are more flags!” The flag plan is part of the LGBTQ+ Action Plan for Wales, published by the Labour-run Government. It states: “Appropriate flags raised in public sector buildings, particularly from underrepresented communities (eg bisexual; asexual; aromantic).” A Welsh Government spokesperson said: “We are proud to support LGBTQ+ communities as we work towards our ambition of making Wales the most LGBTQ+ friendly nation in Europe. “Raising appropriate flags on public sector buildings is one of the ways in which public bodies can show this support.” #talktv #talkradio

The British Museum has announced items from its collection were found to be missing, stolen or damaged. The London museum, which houses artefacts from around the world, has launched an independent review of security as it said a staff member at the institution has been dismissed. Julia Hartley-Brewer says: “We don’t know whether this was a senior member of staff or a very junior member of staff… we may find out in coming weeks or months.” Historian and author Martyn Whittock says: “Museums are repositories of yesterday for today and tomorrow… even though nobody may miss it, #talktv #talkradio

BBC Radio 4, once a beloved institution, is now facing a shrinking audience. The reason behind this decline, as many point out, is the network's obsession with race and gender issues. Listeners are growing tired of the constant focus on these topics, feeling that it overshadows other important issues and alienates a significant portion of the audience. The dramas on Radio 4 are not exempt from this criticism either, with Liddle and Parkinson discussing how they often cater to a very specific demographic, leaving others feeling excluded.

Mike Graham is joined by columnist for The Sun and The Times Rod Liddle to discuss people's perception of President Joe Biden compared to what they think he is really like. The pair also speak about Labour Party leader Keir Starmer and his ‘flip-flop’ approach to issues and politics. Mike suggests that many like to label Joe as a friendly ‘grandfather’ type of figure, which he says is not the case. Rod agrees, adding that he feels the President is actually quite "malevolent" and brings up his son Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal and its lack of coverage being the only reason he won his election.
