Proud hybrid of British, Kiwi and European values. Tweets about science, technology, business and the sheer monstrous stupidity of modern British politics.

@feliciaday That was so awesome! It still seems like yesterday.

@Hancock2001 @HJ_Ellis Wait until you realise that she was also in Westworld as an artificially intelligent murder droid.

@Hancock2001 I’d definitely recommend going to Rataskaevu | 16 (https://t.co/hwyPqzoohy)

@charlescross01 Oh no

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@Autistic_Lia Yes, many times…

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@BBCPolitics Sorry Nadine, it was either you or Charlotte Owen. I guess it was felt that she had more to offer...

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@IAmAutisticNow @autistic_dutske @commaficionado Sounds familiar

@StevePeers I'm curious to know whether anyone from Bacardi were called to give their thoughts about logos that included bats in ovoid shapes.

@sonofr Folks. Posters like this shoot your campaign in the face. If you disagree with Keir, either join labour and campaign internally to change policy or focus on taking Tories down and getting proEU candidates elected. If you just trash and divide the opposition, you return Tories.

@rachel_rj6 I’d say solidly mediocre. I preferred it to Black Panther 2 though…

@CoinTracker I’ve been locked out for months since I lost my phone. I have tried contacting your support three times to reset MFA. I cannot access the account, I cannot even cancel the account. My only option seems to be to ask my bank to cut you off. Any chance of some help?

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@DanNeidle Do we have any idea what this is yet, or where we can find out more?

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@HenryPryor I didn't hear anything about SDLT in the budget at all. Did they change their minds, or might this just be buried in the legislation somewhere?

@JXB101 It’s called Twitter Blue… pay Elon some coin and yes, you can ramble on for twice as long as your tweet deserves.

@GregHands @Jeremy_Hunt @Conservatives @CCHQPress There was a little thing called the global financial crisis going on at the time… you guys will leave the same letter, a more divided country, aging and broken public infrastructure, a shattered reputation abroad and far more debt than we had back then. Pot kettle black.

Lineker is Freelance but here's the BBC reply to a complaint about Chris Packham, also Freelance

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@fascinatorfun @Fern_Britton @GaryLineker Fiona, I generally agree with what you say, but I think that it is a mistake to assume that someone who has worked as a presenter on the BBC doesn’t know about BBC contracts. I’m sure that Fern has seen quite a few first hand.

@MarinaPurkiss 🙋🏼‍♂️

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@bullsboy @ballantine70 The BBC trying to exercise control over a personal social media account is definitely out of keeping with a B2B arrangement. Their only legit recourse would be to ask GaryLineker & co to provide a different, less controversial representative. Otherwise it’s clearly inside IR35.

[Mark Cross🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇿 @ThatGuyFromUK]

@ballantine70 I am wondering the very same thing… if it all plays out after CoE closes the double taxation loophole, Gary might be due for a generous refund.
