Just received this message while walking to deliver a presentation in one of the most prestigious and stimulating technical forums. Inspirational teaching and exciting research: this is what academia should be… The rest is a burdensome construct, good only for accountants.
No communal cleaning, no maintenance, no security, no additional services paid for by residents… and yet the landlords get upset we’re calling this out. It’s all about them.
A new week at Parkview. The gym that was supposed to be reinstated never was. Residents meeting tomorrow to discuss but no confirmation from our friendly managing agents, meaning that if it comes at all, it'll be last minute. Communications still found wanting...
@HounslowFire@apt_parkview@LFBControlRoom This has happened on multiple occasions, it's very worrying. A visit and review of the building would be greatly appreciated
I'm now "stuck" because a SIM from a different provider won't arrive in time. Now I have to accept a total contract cost of £25 from @EE, rather than the £10 I was looking to pay elsewhere with @TalkmobileUK or #virginmobile
I've just been missold an upgrade (including EU roaming) from @EE as i was looking to leave. When I then rang up to rectify it they tried to upsell an add-on to fix the problem for £10. I fly tomorrow. This isn't good enough.
@EE I ended up phoning on 3 occasions with no help and got cut off each time. I finally got through to a lovely guy called Kyle who sorted it all out for me.
Thanks for the support, however I wish the support was the same across the board and not just from an occasional person.

I was fortunate to meet with @MarinaSharma07 just over a week ago with other residents to discuss this. She, alongside @RuthCadbury have been so supportive since hearing about this situation!
Their ward councillor @MarinaSharma07 has been working hard to support them & has met with residents- who are rightly upset about this awful situation. 4/5
@RuthCadbury This doesn't surprise me, the management companies involved in this are always giving haphazard responses if any, causing anxiety for tenants.
If unvaccinated people are allowed to enter nightclubs for two months without precautions, what is the purpose of THEN installing a vaccine requirement two months after?
Either it’s necessary now or not at all. That is one of the most odd uses of science I’ve seen yet.

@jamessmithPT_ This announcement has made me re-think getting my 2nd jab. I agree with requiring a test OR vaccine for event entry, but freedom of choice should not be taken away from the public.
Vaccine passports are a shit idea, for the very basic reason that they coerce rather than convince. Imposing them *after* opening the clubs for two months manages to be both draconian and ineffectual.
“How can a Covid passport be of any use whatsoever, if it’s now obvious that double jabbed individuals can still test positive and pass on an infection?”

Earlier this year Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News that ministers ‘have absolutely no plans for vaccine passporting’, branding the concept ‘absolutely wrong’. On BBC, he angrily dismissed talk of a dystopian world of vaccine passports as fantasy. They’d be ‘discriminatory’, he said.
