#runawaynetflix these police detectives are awful. Not sure if it’s the acting or script but it’s so unbelievable

@KateEMcCann I do think you’re the best political interviewer in the country. I love how you make politicians stick to the question exposing their many attempts to swerve it!

@wesstreeting @thismorning So please do something about the bias and injustices endemic within the family court system and Cafcass that leads to hundreds of men each year losing all contact with their children - a leading cause of male suicide. Men don’t speak up because there is not the will to hear them

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

@wesstreeting @Anna_Soubry This is a good starting point. It would be great if you could also look into and do something about the injustices of the family court system that leads to hundreds of men losing all contact with their children -a leading cause of male suicide

@DrHWazir How exactly is you striking going to make more jobs available instantly? The training posts situation will take time to resolve and a strike just won’t make it happen. Meanwhile if all these doctors are leaving because of pay then maybe there will be jobs available?!

@Airbnb hazard. They couldt help about an emergency plumber but said I could pay for one myself after 2 hours. And hope host would pay me back. They wouldn’t find alternative place. They just kept saying I could have 30% off this “impacted” night after 15 days. Refuse to escalat

@Airbnb don’t expect any support from Airbnb when an emergency occurs at night. My flat has started water streaming down the wall over all the appliance sockets and host not answering. Airbnb told me they have to wait for host to do anything despite possible fire and flood 1/2

@TheCinesthetic When one character is going to tell someone something important but the second character has verbal diarrhoea and doesn’t recognise the need to leave a gap in conversation so first character just gives up and it affects the storyline

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

@JujuliaGrace Just a ridiculous comparison. The two jobs are entirely different. And doctors pay structure allows both progression and a massive pension without having to win the faith of their patients by election every x years. Enough about doctors pay! I’m with you on reform of conditions!

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

@Cigna Interesting. I have sent an email but had already attempted to get an understanding from my apparent account handler who did nothing more than quote a clause in a policy document I was not able to see until over a month after the policy was sold to me and a week after 1st payment

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

@Cigna disgusted that you sold me health insurance having specifically reassured me I could cancel it any time in the year when I’m accepted into the French healthcare system NEGLECTING to mention I couldn’t if I’d made any claim at all - even a GP visit. Sharp practice!!

The real drama is how family courts and Cafcass are creating fatherless families

13/13
We are hurtling towards a world where a man doing/saying anything to a woman that causes any form of discomfort is labelled as misogyny

It’s false & it’s an exaggeration

It assumes the worst of men which is misandry & it infantilises women which is misogyny

@sarajcox Spam Fritters!

@TomStokes63 @papaorg A 2017 article. Things have moved on

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

@BarronSilver @papaorg It’s 8 years old

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

@DadswithKidsUk @papaorg It’s an old article. Not relevant now

[Colleen Bower @ColleenBower]

Someone has to look at injustices of the family courts surely? Why are fathers consistently discriminated against? Why can a single Cafcass officer who doesn’t even bother to meet a father decide he must never see his child again? How is any of this in the interests of the child?
