The Ambridge Socialist
19th April
Bert Horrobin deserves better than the enormous condescension of posterity
After a long break the BBC has decided to cover (rather than just report) what Bert Horrobin is doing and saying this.
He appears to be one of the few Ambridge residents with a beard but more importantly he is a working class character. Like most such people in Ambridge the BBC is condescending to him. He is a rascal, always doing something doubtful, just like Eddie Grundy. He has not however ever been found guilty of polluting the Am or covering up who attacked George. The person who has done that is of course a man of honour
Lillian in the frame
After persistent questioning Lilian has determined that Brian’s rather difficult behaviour is not related to dementia but because he is covering up for Ruairi and the reality that he attacked George. That means that Lilian is now complicit unless of course she plans to go to the police.
Good news for Pip
In a week of generally not great news Pip has found that the lump in her breast is a cyst rather than cancer. A good situation for the Archers to cover and well handled
Proletarian Thought of the Week
Only people with nothing are honest. Bert Horrobin
