@VirginAtlantic@VirginAtlantic - thanks Brittany - the issue is that you have had two cancellations to NYC today and have no-one, literally no-one, on the desk for reticketing Business Class passengers - isn’t this just shoddy? Plenty of other staff and obviously paying attention to twitter
@VirginAtlantic - when you cancel a flight last minute please can you have someone actually be available on your Upper Class ticketing desk - you have only one booth to man at T3 - LHR - it cannot be that hard
@SteveReedMP - please see this, total nonsense that nationalisation would cost £100bn - regulation creates markets, you have allowed poor regulation, enforce current laws and add new ones that keep water clean, the valuations will drop and then look at the costs - @jeremycorbyn
Here is Feargal Sharkey explaining that the £100bn figure that is quoted by the government for the cost to renationalise the water industry comes from a report funded by the water companies themselves.
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.
On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life.
There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience.
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.
To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
@British_Airways - why is it that on two different browsers you quote me different prices and once you know who I am and my history you quote me more !! Shocking ! Do not expect that from a premium carrier ! Managed to book at the lower price from a travel site
If I was building a mass political party of the left, I would start with Shankly - not Marx, Lenin or Trotsky. Not because those thinkers don’t have anything to add … 1/4
This is what I see, from afar, every day. It is not 'just' war crimes committed every minute.
It is an engineered, western-powered, almost entirely globally-permitted intentional destruction of a group AS SUCH.
WE MUST STOP IT NOW.
TOGETHER WE CAN.
PS.Some Member States are not even ready to recognise the state of Palestine they committed to 30+ years ago. IMAGINE if they can stop a genocide committed with their weapons by the surveillance/repression technologies provider.
Next week at @CustContactWeek, Vinod Muthukrishnan will be taking the stage for "Revolutionizing Customer Experience with an AI-First Approach."

'My brother could not recognize the faces of his children because all of them were torn into bloody parts.'
Journalist Ahmed Alanouq says he can't even be sure how many members of his family have been killed in Gaza.
