. @eastantrimmp Can you do us all a favour and delete your dishonest tweet about solar panels? Spreading/inventing lies might be great politics, but not great for society.

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@Frank02759405 Well, I mean, he literally DID make it up. https://t.co/70fzyBKWY6

@johnrobertsAO Yesterday was a lovely day too, so I thought I'd come into the building where I work. It turns out you don't get to enjoy the same views without a private office on the top floor. 🤨

@vuecinemas Can you let me know more about the listing for Lord of the Rings on the 9th? I can't find any cinemas showing this? Thanks. :)

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@PlexShaw @BBFC On the day it was released! We got there though, we thought it was great. Thanks for the heads up!

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@BBFC Is "Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko" likely to get a rating in time for opening tomorrow? It sounds perfect for young teenagers, but without a cert they can't see it on the big screen. :(

. @currysbusiness Not having a great time getting through to your call centre! 2 weeks post cancellation (before goods were even despatched) and still not a peep re a refund.

@CharlieFlange @piersmorgan Those numbers don't say what most people think they do. (no causal link required, and over 300 million vaccine doses delivered) https://t.co/ZsqbiRiKxC

@Andrewclink7 Not many folks know that’s why it’s called figure skating (the “figures” left on the ice)

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@LWatsonlauretta My daughter’s skated since she was little, to me it looked like Lady Leshurr smashed it. That chair’s a nightmare prop compared to the others!

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@realSariBotha @AllieHBNews I've not seen any evidence that this is based on any specific variant - they're simply looking at vaccinated vs non-vaccinated people, and hospital admission. (Likely even including non-Covid hospital admissions)

WFH: how it started vs. how it’s going

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@amy10361 Yeah, good luck with that.

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@MarzipanRug @LozzaFox Ummmmm.... no. No, it doesn't. Belgium for e.g. has 99.83% death rate for their WHOLE POPULATION, and I'm pretty sure they've not had a 100% infection rate yet! https://t.co/heEGG3dZZo

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@RJswifty @AmenKeights @LozzaFox Or even better, a source that can be independently verified?

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@michael_pistis @LozzaFox Once you're on your way to hospital with Covid, your survival chances definitely are probably not 99%! Do you have any idea the prognosis for these people were hospitals to not admit them?

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@TruthRascal @LozzaFox If by "not being full" you mean hospitals aren't leaving sick and dying patients in corridors where they can be filmed by morons, then yes, hospitals "aren't full".

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@Mr_J_Burgundy @LozzaFox 99% it won't kill you - and of course these are people in intensive care with it. Who's the clown again?

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@DoIGetADoOver1 @LozzaFox Not sure they've ever done a blanket cancel of all priority 2 cancer operations in a hospital trust before though, which is what the link is about?

[Russell Allen @RussPAll]

@EmilyWilde10 @LozzaFox Genevieve Edwards, chief executive at Bowel Cancer UK, "a month's delay to cancer treatment increases a person's risk of dying by up to 13%". Can treat lots of Covid patients with a far worse prognosis in that time. This is just basic triage, unfortunately.
