@JonesBobster @MimiJ9 Not cynical, churlish. What a sad empty life you must lead.

@BasedPensioner @jonsopel Bigoted old prats like you make me ashamed to be old.

@marcuspolo1981 @KayBurley Marc - there has been endless publicity on this topic, and a huge amount of careful, peer-reviewed research. All of which documents the efficacy of vaccination. If you haven’t bothered to access it I can’t see any amount of “open discussion” overcoming your scepticism.

@andrewrichardj9 @Anniesomeone1 Er…..Johnson?

@Daz23 @caitlinmoran No, you’re right to be upset. I used to tell my children that every time they misuse/omit an apostrophe, a fairy dies.

If dandelions had more attractive foliage we’d be buying them from garden centres and planting them in our borders rather than pulling them up. They certainly outshine the much-lauded primroses as heralds of spring.

@JustScott77 @jessphillips Sadly, not being prepared in the current climate makes it more likely we’ll be involved in a war - on the losing side.

@KMacca1977 @jonsopel And in parks in Leeds

@othermistertee @UkTruth2020 So are piles.

Just taken delivery of Faraday box & pouches, because new car has keyless entry. Whose idiotic idea was this? Was pressing a switch on a fob really too onerous to be borne? Still - good news for steering lock makers. Back to the 60s - yay!

@dr_lungs Since we’re on the subject, why is “social media” treated as a singular noun (as in “social media is”? Even the quality press do it. FB is a social medium, as is instagram et al. Together they form the social media. So it’s social media ARE.
End of rant.

Just arrived from @musthaveideasuk. So here’s an idea, free of charge, for them: use sensible packaging!!

@SheilaTee48 @g_gosden @cernusson He doesn’t look old enough to have a demob suit. Perhaps it was his dad’s.

@campbellclaret This should be jaw-dropping but, sadly, it’s not.

@DrEilidhMaria Unless you want Plod to write the imaging protocols.

@DrEilidhMaria I’d like to think this wouldn’t have happened when I was involved with implementing IRMER at Leeds when it first came in. But no, the police don’t need to be involved. There should have been mechanisms in place to stop this happening, and that’s an issue for the profession.

@PMccoubrie Yes - excellent and thoughtful piece. Does the final sentence imply that Chris is still doing a bit of plain film reporting?

[Brian Moore @brianmoore666]

Just the latest outright lie.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

F*ck me. The irony meter just melted.

@classiccarguru1 Yet another illustration of the fact that the institution of entirely justifiable regulations, associated with an equally justified fear of being seen to transgress them, can send common sense flying out of the window.
