        Why 'Benny' the beluga whale? What's wrong with 'Barry' the beluga whale. I'm calling it 'Barry' RT if you want the BBC to call it 'Barry' #BarryTheBelugaWhale

        I don’t pay my licence fee just so the BBC can call a beluga whale Benny. Call it Barry. And call it Barry now #BarryTheBelugaWhale

        I hope they manage to guide 🐋 him out back into the deep ocean. It is not supposed to be in the Thames. The poor thing could get hurt. 🐳🐋🐳🐋

        I’ve had a good look at the whale on TV, bumbling along, lost and disoriented without direction. Surely it should be called Boris? @ORCA_web #thames #BorisTheBelugaWhale

        Leave it alone. It's a wild animal. The last thing it needs is interference from silly humans who think they understand everything, but in all honesty, are mostly clueless about nature.
