The ones who can’t reconcile themselves to his devout and open Christian beliefs…

I can't see Dan Walker the same, knowing he's a creationist

#DanWalker#BBCBreakfast not doing it for me. Fluff, no heft and can't help thinking about his wanky religious beliefs.

@ChristianToday@billtu@RuthieGledhill Hope the tweeps read this who say they won't believe #danwalker because of his faith. #faith
