Les Jones

Former politician of sorts. I sometimes try to be a voice of reason. I often realise that Twitter isn’t the place for that.

@mtbscotland1 @paullewismoney Seriously? Would you take that view if it was a car?

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@BillEtheridgeuk I’m agreeing again…

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@JWH1JY @afneil @beverleyturner lol

@janegreyhound @DianaHarding7 @TomSyvret It became boring long before that with Schumacher winning everything and then Vettell winning everything.

@HillF1 @SkySportsF1 I prefer on site commentary. If it’s a cost issue, it would be less annoying if you were all sat on sofa’s, but this standing up nonsense is silly. You are not in the paddock or the pit lane, so why stand up?

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

I hope that all these people cheering the banning of the national conservatism conference in Brussels will do a bit of research on the history of this kind of action. In the UK the left seem to have succeeded in changing the definition of fascism to make it anything not left wing

@addictiveness @KemiBadenoch Let me think, how should I respond to that? I won’t say what came to mind when I read this because unlike you I believe in the freedom to make choices. I don’t believe it’s the states job to make them for us. I would love everyone to stop smoking but not by compulsion.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@katedodd3 Seriously, you think this is a question of sides? Give your head a wobble…

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@MarkRannoch @implausibleblog Yes, they are, that’s why the people of Scotland had a referendum. They chose, by their own free will, to remain part of the UK. The people of the UK chose to leave the EU. Two splendid examples of democratic self determination.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@RScowler The farcical way she attacks and accuses every Conservative of sleaze and dishonesty, whilst batting away accusations against her might be behind this. What goes around, comes around and she is more guilty than most of dragging political discourse into the gutter.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@jonsopel @AngelaRayner I find it incredible that people like you are surprised at this after the prolonged and incessant attempts to smear every senior Tory possible over the last few years. What goes around, comes around. Remember Boris and cake?

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@crimlawuk Underpaying rather than dodging? Is that the difference between avoidance and evasion, because you seem to have it the wrong way round.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@yasserthoughts @RachelRileyRR Well I just checked it out. She’s right… if you seriously think that’s a software glitch, you are deluded.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@SuperbikeAl @kelvmackenzie Technically he doesn’t have to be to leader of the Party. He couldn’t anyway though because he’s not a member, but that’s academic…

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@lipthog @Devonman101 @afneil So how do they afford to pay the “greedy profit driven private sector”?

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@johnstretch @indignanthassle @afneil Well said.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@Devonman101 @afneil I couldn’t agree with you more, I’ve had two PET scans over the last 15 months through the same process, excellent. The argument that it’s profit driven (and therefore bad) is ridiculous as the NHS should be doing it in-house if it was cheaper, they don’t.

[Les Jones @FormerCllrLes]

@ianbbdesign @ShakeLS @mary59688 I had my diagnosis and surgery for lung cancer(no chemo needed thankfully) within a similar timeframe through the NHS. The follow up consultations found a second unrelated tumour six months later which was also removed within three months. Excellent care and service.
