@BristOliver Everything is zero sum to a socialist.

@MikeyCycling See Rule H1 and H2. Some excerpts.

“Cyclists…likewise have a responsibility to reduce danger to pedestrians.”

“People cycling are asked to:

not pass people walking…. closely or at high speed, particularly from behind”

@PatrickChristys Genuinely vomit inducing sycophancy.

@paullewismoney @claireharr Encouraging equity release as a financial journalist reveals you desire for ideology over education. Equity release is famous for being a bad financial decision due to the compounding interest and high interest rates.

@andyburnham @UKLabour Please make it stop.

@andrew_lilico Let put it this way, why should people who have grafted and planned for retirement and built assets to pass to loved ones and give them some financial security pay for those that haven’t.

@andyburnham @Sacha_Lord Football clubs belong to whoever is able to legally buy the shareholding of the business. That’s the rule of company ownership.

@ItsMrPOB @joncoupland Same here. I used to drive to sixth form in a same era green Micra. 16 valves no less.

@BenKentish You may not like the playing field, but if that’s the one someone else chose to play on, it should be level.

@WiltsAnnabelle In the age old playground style - you started it.

[Gavin Lacey @GavinLacey]

@DanielJHannan @DouglasCarswell I agree. But it’s so difficult, because the far left will continue to use these tactics. Taking the morale high ground is great, but ultimately we need to defeat extremism from the left and can we do that with moral high ground alone. Such a difficult matter to square away.

@_24IH_ @nickstewart_ @NeilGarratt It won’t be. They don’t have enough manpower to even consider that exercise.

[Gavin Lacey @GavinLacey]

@Mr__Comics @nickstewart_ @NeilGarratt Badly. Based on historic valuations that are permanently appealed.

[Gavin Lacey @GavinLacey]

@nickstewart_ @NeilGarratt They’ll employ a major private real estate corporate to do a desktop valuation exercise, someone like CBRE who is headquartered in Dallas.

All that money will contribute to offshore profits.

Then everyone will have to have a right to appeal.

CBRE will then charge for that.

@bbclaurak Doesn’t anyone do sound checks anymore? He’s clearly only being picked up by other mics, not his.

@pellsra @RepairBritain @PolitlcsUK Slow down building by tying developers up in planning red tape.

[Gavin Lacey @GavinLacey]

@mr_james_c @DanNeidle Two options.

1. He’s quitting because he’s about to tune up as an advisor to Chairman Burnham. (Really hope not)

2. He’s quitting because he hasn’t been offered an advisor role to Chairman Burnham and he’s off to kick his wounds. (I hope so)

@AutoPap The hosepipe test is my personal test as to whether something is a “real” Land Rover. The modern ones fail in my view. I wouldn’t hosepipe a £70k+ car. My “rust bucket” is very hoseable.
