@FlySWISS bjr. Je peux pas continuer le Check-in sans avoir mit soit un visa ou une carte de résidence pour un vol de Londres à Zurich. Même problème sur l’appli et le site web.

Is this going to be like the finale where characters from previous series all come back for a last hurrah

@Bordeaux c'est une blague ? Le bruit qui vient de la fête foraine est juste insupportable. On habite assez loin et on arrive pas a dormir du tout. Peut-on pas faire la fête sans cette invasion sonore????

@easyJet hi. Flight EZY6224 CDG -> BRS. Can’t check in on app or web. No seat allocation. Please advise, thanks

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

@CapelLofft How do you account for virtually all ages and generations within believing that their own social and cultural life was being irretrievably corrupted despite a greater acceptance of whatever religion it was at the time? And what religion should we go back to to save ourselves?

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

@dcsandbrook Sober and serious words published by terribly unserious company which in this case is just as culpable as the Tory fringes for the current political climate

@TheRestHistory currently writing a novel based around the collapse of Barings bank which no one but my long suffering wife is likely to ever read, can we have a pod on the bank and it’s disastrous end to drum up some fresh interest on the subject ?

@Joe_emery1990 Not entirely true, posted one about Johnson 6 months ago that got no reaction so I deleted it

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

If for companies like Centrica where the raw materials for their business goes up 150/200% and then they pass that cost directly onto the customer, then their margins should go up 0 FUCKING PERCENT

@EdAmsden lot of pressure in front of the 15 or so people that follow us both here, but hello. I doubt you’ll remember me but I was told that you might know something about literary agents? If you could follow me then I’d of course be happy to kiss the ring behind closed doors

British passport, two vaccinations and a negative test but still not good enough to bring my baby home to meet his family because the Doctor who jabbed my arm spoke French.

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

Just know that if the Hancock affair had broken 2 days earlier, we’d have seen a very different travel announcement

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

Yes, you can go to super clubs in Ibiza, but I, a double vaccinated Briton living in France, can’t bring my 5 month old baby home to meet his family.

Pricks.

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

I’m not sure if I enjoyed Super League or GME more

@PlatinumDuckPod link me the pods....

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

Just take note of which people are currently bitching about market based solutions

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

@ericrevel1 Trump peut toujours parler sur le trottoir, dans sa chambre ou par son équipe press. Twitter n’est pas obligé de le donner un platform. Le fait qu’une entreprise privée a pris une décision qui défie le président signifie que tous va bien.

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

@chesscom how is this material deemed god damn sufficient ?

[Michael Spring @MichaelSpring_]

Why should a tech company be nuetral if no one else is ? There’s like a thousand reasons why this is dumb, but the main one is that PRIVATE firms don’t owe you a platform just because you’ve had a login for five years

@Mailchimp has a responsibility to people who receive mails

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

So @Mailchimp is now going to fact-check our emails?

What criteria will they base their decisions to dismiss content as misleading or false on?

Builders - we need new tech companies committed to a base level of neutrality, openness and with limited purpose.

1) A thread

A tale of two PPE suppliers.

The company set up on 12 May 2020 by an associate of a Conservative Peer.

The family business in Knowsley, with over 50 years proven track record.

One was given a contract for £122 million.

The other was given the run around.
