"Walking out in a strop because things are quite as you want them to be" accuses the woman who supported Brexit.

Striking teachers set a terrible example to children. Walking out in a strop because things aren't quite as you want them to be is no approach to working life!

@Roland59201632 @Telegraph The US has pretty strict laws about foreign control and investment of its own infrastructure .

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

Fridges? Laptops? Our Tory government has allowed the Chinese to build our latest nuclear power plants at Hinkly Point and Bradwell B, with teams of Chinese engineers on site in charge of the builds.
The @Telegraph were solid supporters of the Tory gov's decision.
Fridges? FFS.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

This original decision was about the same time the Tories allowed 100s of Russian oligarchs and members of their families to get golden visas to live in Britain, many of whom coincidentally went on the donate to the @Conservatives .

Come back to me and tell me we don't live in a mafia run country when we stop making our doctors and nurses give their hard earned wages to private companies for the privilege of parking their cars at their place of work to cure us.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

But of course the law only applies to US, not to THEM.

🚨 | NEW: PM Rishi Sunak was NOT wearing a seatbelt in a video recorded in his Government car this morning

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

I dunno. Can't think why we have such long NHS waiting lists.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

@Dr_RohenKapur I had a great maths teacher in my final year before the exams, she taught us just enough to get a C.
But there again, most of us in those days didnt have to worry about where our next meal was coming from.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

I actually did pretty well at school (state school) but maths was my worst subject. However, i think it's probably a good idea to have kids learn maths to a greater level.
But, dear Mr Sunak, how the f*** are kids going to learn anything on an empty f***king stomach?

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

Yep

[Laura @LauraSco88]

The biggest thing I can take away from this #HarryTheInterview, is that there are two very traumatised little boys who experienced one of the most significant adverse childhood experiences there is, and it was handled terribly by their family.

That, and the press are cunts.

@dstlouislittle5 @TheFreds @backtolife_2023 If you're not educated enough to know the difference between your and you're, you're not educated enough to challenge physicists and scientists on a complicated scientific matter such as global warming.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

I dunno James. I guess we *could* wait for the ghosts of Xmas past, present and future to get round to visiting you and every Tory minister one day to get them to change your ways.
In the meantime, strikes are the only option.

[James Whale MBE. @THEJamesWhale]

These bloody thick union leaders going on strike now honestly, why would anyone follow these horrendous people?

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

He won't do it of course. There's too much money to be made from pushing personalised content at social media users.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

If @elonmusk wants to solve the main problem with social media, he needs to champion stopping algorithms that push content that's supposedly attractive to our interests, and drop all shadow banning.
It creates confirmation bias which nurtures extremism and extreme prejudice.

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

Never mind anything else, other pay and conditions.
In a normal country, a government that made nurses pay to park in their employers' car park while they work would have met with such outrage from voters they'd never see the inside of number 10 ever again.
What's wrong with us?

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

Tory ministers aren't paying themselves in claps, are they?
Not handing them out to their f***king mates either.
#NursesStrike

[Tom Pride @ThomasPride]

Brexiters/Tory voters see themselves as brave British bulldogs, fighting for their rights and their country.
They're not.
They're more like fawning little poodles, kowtowing and simping to a bunch of poshboys, they think are their betters.
Get yourselves some balls FFS.

Partridge in a pear tree.
The rant before Christmas.
Call it what you will but enjoy and share Richard Madeley interviewing himself!
