@British_Airways URGENT: My 70yo friend is stranded at LHR5 due to a BA system error. You wrongly swapped his flight from BA396 to BA398 without notice, and staff were incredibly rude to him. I have original booking proof & emails. Locate him & fix this now!

@footballontnt unable to watch on discovery+, will not skip to live ....

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@discoveryplusUK why am I unable to watch the end of the FA Cup game tonight. I am taken to the beginning of the 3 HR+ stream but cannot skip to live. Have you stopped bothering as you are losing TNT?

@TRUMP_ARMY_ Morality dictates we own the fruits of our labor, but no one "labored" to create the earth. Land is a common heritage. A land tax ensures that those who exclude others from a specific location compensate the rest of society for the privilege of that exclusive use

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@TRUMP_ARMY_ Land taxes are a moral user fee. You own the title, but the community pays for the police, courts, and infrastructure that make that title meaningful and secure. To benefit from these public protections without contributing back via property tax is the definition of a free rider.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@TRUMP_ARMY_ Property taxes are moral because land value isn't created by owners, but by the community’s growth and public investment. It is only logical to return that "unearned" value to the public that created it, rather than allowing private capture of a common natural resource.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Observant muslims/jews want to know, among muslims some care if the animal has been stunned. A non-religious carnivore, I don't care. The law needs to care about hygiene, safety and humanity besides that this is a non-issue that can be left to the market. Why are you stirring?

@BGatesIsaPyscho I don't think she will be the next (Labour) PM, but, even if she is what's your point?

@CAESB porque Jardim Botânico não tem água pra mais de 10 oras? Esse e serviço?

@HonestTBH @ThreeUK Oh come on. So how many "voice services" do they run? I think for customers it's one. It's lawyer influenced deliberately ambiguous language and complete BS. They should communicate more plainly and clearly, but then ambiguous language is typical of them.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@ThreeUK Is it your lawyers preventing your engineers telling us what's going on. It definitely is the marketing people, 1. they don't understand and 2. they want to make everyone happy all the time

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Hours now, and that's all the info you'll share......

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

Framing here irritates me, I don't like the "woke" label but can't think of better for this in Lewisham Life, that councils 1/4ly mag. Lesbians aren't particularly at HIV risk. PrEP is most use to gay men. In its own way as annoying and stupid as RW toxicity on X.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@elonmusk What's unacceptable is your moronic simplification of complex democratic and political reality. Unless of course you really are a fascist in a hurry in which case the way you are saying what you are saying makes sense. That's exactly how to rouse the mob. Well done Elon.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@LonsdaleKeith @LeeAndersonMP_ as opposed to a farce run by white men of lower middle class origin with a penchant for being in authority and pushing people around. I didn't like that, I dont like the rainbow flags on police cars either, so that part I agree with, but, back to a golden age, I don't think so.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@Peston Should keep im umble.....

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@thinkingmunk @jburnmurdoch Well, what's new now, is that there maybe pressure from the right for PR, never had that before. Irony of irony Reform voters probably least likely PR supporters until now. But, yes, it's a shame that Labour unlikely to bring PR even though it is their policy.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@thinkingmunk @jburnmurdoch So, in effect a small subset of the population identified by some psephologist gets to decide who governs. Much better to have PR.

[Andrew Ashurst @androo235]

@SoupTomatoSoup @jburnmurdoch People should not have to vote tactically, they should be able to vote for the party/ies they most want to represent them and feel that their vote will count. PR will deliver that. Party's will be able to campaign positively for what they want and widen the national debate.
