@Jemineye65 @DanielNikolla3 @Ryanair After the appalling conduct I experienced with Lying Air and its staff @LBIAirport when Covid broke, I'd rather take a trip on the Demeter with Count Dracula. Seriously - avoid at all costs.

@NancySinatra He'll probably try to prevent the 2028 presidential election from going ahead.

@BBCNews This isn't the first disquieting report about @TUIUK . It completely mishandled a German Xmas market cruise and tried to mislead passengers, as reported in the press.

@piersmorgan It'll never be "Sir" Richard Dawkins, I suppose. The establishment loathes free-thinkers and iconoclasts. Mind you, he'd decline the witless gong anyway. Handed down by the ever-witless @RoyalFamily

@dougan_dav24341 @afneil I didn't assume you did give one 😂

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@AlexFergus0n @dougan_dav24341 @afneil Footage from those countries merely confirms that the global economic system is sick and deranged. Like I say, get out of your car bubble and spend a whole day on public transport, closely observing.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@dougan_dav24341 @afneil Au contraire. Fundamentally, we live in a class-ridden society without a level playing field, bursting blood vessels when people who save other people's lives go on strike, yet not raising a whimper at mad levels of fat cat pay. Even a child can see something's not right.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@scabular_bung @afneil Indeed, as I have the transfer of British gold reserves to the States around the same time.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@dougan_dav24341 @afneil Perhaps, though I don't begrudge it. Not when Ken Murphy, CEO of Tesco, earned £10 million, 431 times the salary of the supermarket's typical worker. That meant he earned more on NYD 2025, when most Tesco stores were open, than his employees did for the rest of the year.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@dougan_dav24341 @afneil Well, there's a worryingly big swathe of British society teetering on the brink of complete destitution as we speak. Spend a day riding trains and buses sometime.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@NancySinatra And yet while we have Luhrmann's biopic of Elvis, we are still deprived of a balanced, but no-holds barred biopic of @franksinatra - which is extremely disappointing. Surely the family is aware that there will come a time when the film is made, but their input may be negligible?

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@afneil Doesn't make me wonder. Assuming there was anyone in the room with genuine knowledge of geopolitics who was able to express their views (unlikely), they were roundly dismissed in favour of Netanyahu's bloodthirst.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@Krisstq @georgegalloway @mfa_russia For some reason, they wouldn't question someone's admiration for United States war criminal, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@franksinatra Not forgetting his superb 1992 tribute, 'Perfectly Frank'.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@CarolinePo75107 @arrivanortheast @KiMcGuinness @N_landCouncil This also applies to quite a few @gonortheast buses. I could be wrong, but neither company appears to update their apps to inform passengers if a service isn't running, which would have saved you an hour? You might want to complete the survey too https://t.co/HCAwcsPiFq

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@urbanfox93 @jezjames87 @RockNRoLL_85 I'd say it isn't. They were one of the most innovative bands in terms of harmony, melody, counterpoint and rhythm. It's possible to simply not like their sound - but obviously silly to dismiss them.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@afneil @British_Airways Count yourself lucky you weren't already abroad and a pandemic erupted. Good old Lying Air @Ryanair and its staff completely screwed me with similar tricks to that which have just landed @virginmedia with a juicy fine. Capitalism, eh?

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@northumbriana There's also some fine stained glass windows in the cathedral, by Edward Burne-Jones.

[Anth3891 @Anth_83]

@dianamahon @Kevin_Maguire @My_Metro @TfL Exactly. Let's have an Orgreave-style inquiry into the shambolic years spanning the 2000s and 2010s, when people were pulling their hair out. Compensate the North East if evidence of regional discrimination is uncovered. @IanLaveryMP at least believes in accountability.
