@WG_RumblePants Well, I would firstly take solace that this happening was in the past. Then declare unexpected chalice, and look forward to
Joining the 4th team on the following Sunday friendly….
I often get legal threats. This one's a little different - it's printed on blue ink, babbles incomprehensibly about mail fraud, and was also served on Janet Yellen and Richard Hermer (UK attorney general). A quick thread about why this isn't funny.

@vittorioangelon Have no idea of the politics of her detractors, but I agree they don’t know a lot about conducting (and possibly orchestral music). I doubt they would have said same about Bernstein. Have seen Dalia live several times, and the energy she drives from an orchestra is wonderful.

The working people of Britain have been struggling to make ends meet for the last 3-4 years. They've been told "sorry, we know it's hard, but it is what it is. You have to put up with it".

@BBCSteveR If you find yourself banned by Putin for an honest interview too far, you can so easily fall back on your second career as a pianist! Loved the Eurovision session earlier in the year!
@fredfertang Two I really wish we had the benefit of modern technology for measuring speed of deliveries - along with Frank Tyson. Suspect they would put some of our modern quicks down a notch h in the record books.
@michelrouxjr Like many I currently have a foot in both, but I like what I see there, far less toxic, far fewer bots and my feed is already more relevant than a lot of the stuff pushed my way here. It’s growing fast, and should be viable. X may end up as a right wing friends reunited 😂
