@GBNEWS I thought you were announcing that he wouldn’t be visiting and therefore endorsing that vile President across the pond. What a pity

On Kuenssberg this morning only @ZackPolanski clearly defended international law, while the Tories backed unconditional support and Labour accepted the US/Israel escalation pushing the world toward unpredictable conflict. Trump ditched the Iran nuclear deal in 2017 and now some say bombing is the only option. I prefer the Greens’ approach. [link] #InternationalLaw #UKPolitics #SundayWithLauraKuenssberg

@RageJunkie33 @jacktronprime @nicksortor @Common_Cent1 It’s fake.

@ViatorTravel charged me £128 for fam tickets to Circo Maximo in Rome – official price €22 & tickets weren’t even valid. Had to pay again at the door. Refund received, but no apology, no explanation, no accountability – & impossible to contact them or @Tripadvisor. #TravelFail

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

@ViatorTravel I will call but it will be from the uk. Please let me know how I can avoid it being very expensive. Julia

Booked Circo Maximo in Rome via @Tripadvisor & @ViatorTravel — charged £128 for tickets that cost just €22. On arrival, the operator said they don’t work with them and refused us entry. Had to pay again. No way to get support. Outrageous. #TravelFail #Viator #Tripadvisor

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

@ViatorTravel @Tripadvisor @Handle I've sent you a response linking through to Paypal complaint. I hope you can see that this was not simply about 'waiting'. This was 1. Invalid ticket 2. Massively overcharging 3. Impossible to contact Viator /TripAdvisor about issue. 4. Ruining our precious day in Rome

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

Thank you @ViatorTravel. I’ve submitted full details via PayPal (Case ID: PP-R-AJA-577331895) & through your own channels. So far I’ve received only partial refund, & no explanation, despite paying £128 for a service that was not honoured. We were refused entry, had to pay again (€10), and lost precious time with family.

@Meta @instagram @facebook #FastFashionScam — I was scammed by a @Meta ad for Lila’Boutiq.
Fake photos, fake founder, fake address, fake reviews. Appalling merchandise.
No way to report the details — Meta offers no route.
I’m a director of @RubbishIdeas, fighting waste & promoting the circular economy.

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

Hey @Meta @instagram @Facebook — why are you promoting scam brands like Lila’Boutiq? Their merchandise nothing like what is advertised on website. Multiple others reporting the same issue. 🌍 Environmental damage from this rubbish fast fashion is huge.

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

I’m a director @RubbishIdeas — we design smart reuse systems & the Rubbish Portal: software for waste accountancy.
Lila’Boutiq is the polar opposite: fast fashion deceit, no transparency, no return path.
@Meta helps it thrive.

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

This isn’t just about me. It’s about a system that lets scammers profit — while dumping mountains of cheap, synthetic fashion into landfill.
@Meta, this is environmental and ethical negligence.
#ScamAd #Greenwashing #FastFashionWaste

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

The “founder” of Lila’Boutiq — Lila Gomez — appears to be entirely made up. No public record, no profile, no brand history. Return address fake too. Can't find on Google maps. No route on @Meta or @instagram for consumers to report this scam. #Greenwashing #MetaNegligence

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

Lila’Boutiq claimed 4.5 stars from 400+ reviews — actual score was <2. All visible reviews were 1★… until I posted mine. Suddenly, a glowing 5★ appears.
Fake reviews, misleading ads, same scam reported by hundreds.
@Meta still promoting LilaB
#TrustpilotManipulation #MetaFail

[Julia Hailes @JuliaHailes]

I was pushed to 30% refund instead of a return. To get a full refund I’d need to post it to a fake-looking address in China — not disclosed when buying. No support, no guarantee, no refund if “lost” & customs to pay
It's a trap. #MetaFail #DropShippingScam
