@co1onne11i I'm in the same boat (or same car, if you prefer) as @E_Staniforth. Live miles from anywhere, so _have_ to drive to get or do anything.
Would gladly go electric, but the infrastructure isn't yet widespread enough, and the cost is far too high.
But concerned? I'm sickened!

If you’re annoyed at the cost of Covid tests under this Govt

You’re going to be raging at your medical costs once they’ve sold off the NHS

I saw a post this morning describing the #Plymouth shooter as 'blackpill'. I Googled the term, and it led me down a rabbithole of #Incel pages (including a Wiki!).
Feel like my brain is bleeding!
Never in the depths of my singleton despair would I have thought like these guys do!

@HawickMarshall You misunderstand me (deliberately, I suspect). Sturgeon and Leitch are doing a pretty good job up here. The WESTMINSTER government, which we’re stuck with until #IndyRef2, has washed its hands of all responsibility. Crooks.

[Prime Meat Mette Frederiksen & Danish Person @MettePrime]

Hi UK, Denmark’s supermarkets are fully stocked come buy our produce. And France’s, Germany’s and everyone else in the EU. It isnt #Covid that has broken your supply chain, what is happening now is the #BrexitFoodShortages your remainer friends warned you about.

To become a billionaire on the average UK full-time salary you'd have to work for over THIRTY THOUSAND YEARS (and not spend anything).

Nobody needs to be a billionaire.

Let's properly tax the super-rich to fight poverty, inequality and climate change.

@MimiJ9 What I've noticed (near Edinburgh) is that a lot of businesses still insist on mask-wearing. You can't come in, or might be kicked out, without one. Clear signage and regular tannoy announcements to say so.
Shame businesses have to assume the responsibility the government shirks.

@denise_vanouten the itching in the ears… that’s actually a sign of allergy. I was doing an allergy trial a few years ago, and that was one of the things they said to look out for. Wouldn’t have consciously known about it if they hadn’t mentioned it. Paprika allergy, maybe?

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

But don't feel too bad. I can't remember anyone, at the time, saying the people needed a final say on the Brexit Deal... 😬

For those who are using Thalidomide as an excuse to brainwash the public into being antivacs and antimask. Please read my Thalidomide affected husband’s story #thalidomide #thalidomidedisaster #disability #antimaskers #AntiVaccine

This was really loud. In a pretty busy pub at 6:30 on a Friday night. They obviously didn’t care who heard them talking about gang raping a woman they picked up on a dating app and filming themselves doing it. Is this where we’ve got to now? That this is normalised behaviour?

@JohnLovesJulie It’s certainly grim and grisly, but Les Revenants (The Returned) is great!!

[A C Grayling #FBPE #Reform #Rejoin #FBPR @acgrayling]

26% of population voted for Brexit.
21% of population voted Tory in 2019.
100% of population suffer Brexit effects (loss of rights, FOM, opportunities, etc, replaced by empty shelves, rotting crops, job losses, etc) & corrupt sleazy protofascist 'government'.

PR, or revolution.

Does anyone have any real-life experience of a #saxmonica? I really want to get one - the one with interchangeable pipes for different keys. The videos certainly LOOK real. Do they play as well as they appear to? #saxophone #sax #tgtbt

[Ben Engel @BenEngelMusic]

@Beany_1 I swear I've followed you four or five times. Twitter keeps unfollowing you (and others) for me – FFS.

Pendulous, sweaty, hairy, itchy bollocks to the con that is Brexit. #BollocksToBrexit

[Bukayo Saka @BukayoSaka87]

This was amazing to come back to! I want to thank everyone who has sent me supportive messages and gifts. I’ve seen, read and appreciate every one of you.
I hope we all continue to spread love and joy 🙏🏿

[Miranda 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇬🇧 #FBPE @HereIsMiranda]

How does one explain in simple terms that visas and new red tape are not a punishment for Brexit, they are Brexit. We’re out of the club, simple as that, any negative consequence is self-inflicted.

[Ben Engel @BenEngelMusic]

@Documentally you said you bought a Saxmonica. Is it as good as it looks? Any videos of you playing it?
