Who is reading your Tweets?

June 22, 2012 by idahorner

A week ago or so now, I got into an engaging discussion with someone  on Twitter regarding the Spanish PM’s text message SPAIN IS NOT UGANDA and unbeknowest to me the BBC was watching

I remembered the words of a good friend- NO ONE SAYS NO WHEN THE BBC CALLS and I wasn’t going to!
A phone call later and it was all decided I was to appear as a panelist on BBC WORLD HAVE YOUR SAY programme to discuss that text message

Here is how I got on, start watching at 24 minutes

    Well done!
