@TeslaOwnersUK@aelluswamy@wholemars Far too late…they said it was about to arrive 7 years ago and that was for fully automated self driving as advertised at the time
@Microsoft@MicrosoftUK Really unhappy with changes to support for M365 family. You've made it incredibly hard 4 users to reach support & now no phone support?! I received no comms. Family have urgent support needs and now forced to use slow email support is huge step back in svc
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Anyone else had issues with submitting hotel reviews on https://t.co/oKTb4pipLL, where they’ve been rejected whilst not breaking any of their criteria for rejection. I’ve also noticed a lot of 10/10 reviews with some hotels with the shortest comment ever.
@hotelscomhelp I recently stayed at a hotel based on your reviews. The hotel bore no resemblance to the reviews and was very unsafe, with a large gang hanging around the entrance conducting robberies. You rejected my review, yet I see many accepted reviews 10/10, with little info
@VoyagePriveUK@BBCBreaking I’m a victim of an attempted phishing scam that had personal information held by you. Once I logged an issue, you then told me about a data breach involving a partner organisation, but still haven’t shared who? Apparently this is a widespread breach!
@ahmedIfc I’m still refusing to watch. They need to right the wrong. They irrefutably damaged the sport that year with the blatant manipulation to get the result they wanted. Drive to survive encouraged this.
@RupertLowe10 This issue has largely been ignored for a long time and a fair family court is long overdue. The bias is well known and openly discussed by family court solicitors.
Never buying Cadbury's @CadburyUK chocolate again.
Opened a box of milk tray and my first experience of the new manufacturing with palm oil.
Loved it all my life, but not now.
Horrible taste and texture. oleaginous. 🤢
I’m sorry @CadburyUK but your chocolate is now horrid.
Palm oil makes the taste and texture all wrong.
Profiteering above all else has ruined the most famous product from my city.
Should never have sold out to out to Craft.

AN OPEN LETTER TO LEWIS HAMILTON
Mr Hamilton,
You have recently spoken about Britain’s past and suggested that the country should consider returning land in Africa as some form of historical reckoning.
Before making such sweeping statements, it might be worth revisiting the full history — not just the fashionable fragments that circulate on social media.
Slavery was not invented by Britain. It existed for millennia across the ancient world — in empires from Rome to the Middle East and Africa. By the time Britain emerged as a maritime power, slave trading networks already stretched across continents.
The Atlantic trade itself involved multiple participants. African rulers and traders captured and sold prisoners to European merchants on the coast. It was an ugly system, but it was also an international one.
What is often omitted from modern lectures about history is that Britain became the first major power to turn against the trade. Parliament passed the 1807 Act abolishing the slave trade, and the Royal Navy then spent decades enforcing that decision.
The West Africa Squadron patrolled thousands of miles of coastline. Sailors died from disease and from gunfire while intercepting slave ships. In doing so they liberated tens of thousands of people who would otherwise have been carried into bondage.
Many of those liberated Africans were settled in Sierra Leone. The capital was named Freetown for a reason.
There are also chapters rarely mentioned today. When Napoleon restored slavery in French territories after it had been abolished, it was British power that ultimately helped end those systems again.
There is also the matter of the enormous compensation loan taken by the British state when slavery was abolished across the empire — a debt British taxpayers continued servicing for generations.
None of this erases the suffering of those enslaved. But it does mean the story is far more complex than the simple narrative often presented today.
So before condemning Britain wholesale, perhaps a moment might be taken to acknowledge the sailors who fought the slave traders and the role Britain played in shutting down the Atlantic system.
A fitting tribute would be support for a memorial to those men who served and died enforcing abolition.
History deserves honesty — not slogans.
Yours sincerely
Stan Robinson
