Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards

So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

@Brewj Looks amazing. Enjoy the blue skies!

@SwytchBike … and still no resolution. @Mepstedb please can you look at this case. We urgently need this fixed as my wife is struggling to commute to hospital.

[Simon Boyden @SimonBoyden]

@SwytchBike. Our Swytch bike is broken. 7 days so far and all I've received is a "please check the connections" email. My wife relies on this bike to commute to hospital. Help please!

[Simon Boyden @SimonBoyden]

@SwytchBike That was 5 days ago! Please please could you ask someone to take a look at this?
