“These people are fleeing persecution and destitution and the sea route is the only one open to them.
Numbers are 1/2 what they were 20 years ago.. .and (we judge) 70% of asylum-seekers to be genuine.
We’re planning to break the Refugee Convention.
There is no case for cruelty.”

Lord Kerr of Kinlochard brilliantly eviscerates government claims about refugees yesterday in #HouseofLords

The facts, stark and clear.

@ilyamiskov I bought it for studying for my Masters. It froze within a month of me doing extensive note taking on it. I spent hours trying to get customer service who delayed & delayed before replacing my return so my essays had to be submitted without my notes. Disillusioned with Remarkable

Still no response or positive action from @LivallRiding #Livallhelmet #Livall

I received #Livallhelmet BH51 Neo as a gift. 1 year of light use during which the speaker fell out. A year and a half, and an enduring 18 emails later, I’m no further in getting a replacement part. #livall tell me it (£150 worth) can’t be repaired. No #secondchance #notsosmart

Was denied access to domestic flight @Heathrow unless I submitted to mandatory biometric scan

No manual ID option
No transparency
No lawful basis explained
No retention info

Filed GDPR complaint+DSAR for biometric data&CCTV

Not “security” but nonconsensual biometric processing

- Who’s responsible (under the Sale of Goods/Consumer Rights/Advertising Standards etc Act(s)?

- Will you take some responsibility/ be accountable?

Will you help me to resolve this?

@British_Airways I booked accommodation and inclusive breakfast through your Executive Club (EC)/Avios app.
Turns out breakfast is 1/2km trip at a different hotel (only mentioned once confirmed).
EC staff agree inaccurate ad. I have requested a refund 4 times in past 3 days.

[amitashuri @amitashuri]

EC asked Expedia, who asked hotel, hotel said “no refund”, so EC “can’t help”, even if they advertised “inclusive” and hotel don’t provide (what’s advertised).
BA Exec Club were my Agents.

Interesting to read this Dr.’s perspective/arguments against the Assisted Dying Bill, and see (reflect on my own) arguments to refute her points.
Try it!
#AssistedDying

[Dr Katie Musgrave @dr_musgrave]

Just wanted to put together a list of my greatest concerns about a change in law to allow assisted dying.

I’m really hoping that supporters of the law might refute or debate each of my concerns. And opposers add their concerns. These issues need grappling with!

Can we cultivate openness big enough to hold our pain and not collapse into it?

#donationsaveslives

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Recently, out of the blue I got a call from @DKMS_uk - the charity that helps people with blood cancer. I'd forgotten that 5yrs ago I did a cheek swab... but the call was to say I was a possible match for someone in urgent need of stem cell or bone marrow transplant.

It's a chance to help someone survive who wouldn't otherwise. Unfortunately, having just been through the next stage, I've been ruled out of donating.

So to turn that into a positive, I wanted to suggest if you fancy registering to be a donor, if age 18 - 55 you can do it here... https://t.co/WOEAyPoQqu - and hopefully one of you may be the match that actually saves a life.

@ArgosHelpers Hi @ArgosHelpers
I’ve sent you everything you’ve asked for, twice, over the last 8 hrs, and would love to hear back from you at the earliest, thanks 🙏
I placed my online order on 12th December, for collection by 19th, tried to return in store on 26th, so need help ASAP

[amitashuri @amitashuri]

@ArgosHelpers for Xmas, I purchased a £75 heated over blanket to try to help my 84-yr old Dad stay warm in his living room. However it is too heavy for him and because he opened it, in order to find that out, I’ve been told that you will not refund or exchange it. Help!?
