@CraigBaird In the UK, where I now live, 'hockey' is what Canucks call 'field hockey'. In Canada, where I grew up, 'hockey' is what Brits call 'ice hockey'. Dropping the adjective is efficient and effective in each setting.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Nigel Farage so we can show those who want to privatise the NHS just how many people are prepared to fight against it.

Please take a few seconds to help by following us and reposting this.

Sadly I will miss #DoorsOpen this year as I am working, but highly recommend it to anyone who is off on Saturday - lots of fascinating places to explore in our gorgeous city

The amount of money I want my city or region spending on professional hockey arenas is $0.00.

I have no interest in subsidizing millionaires and billionaires while we can’t even afford transit.

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches.

Like if he needs to resign.
RT if he needs to be fired.

Every Monday, I like to share a bit of nostalgia to help everyone's day get off to a good start.
This week, it is The Log Driver's Waltz, one of the most famous pieces of animation in Canadian history courtesy of the NFB, Wade Hemsworth and Kate and Anna McGarrigle!

Tonight, @realDonaldTrump stripped off the mask.

A promise people they will never have to vote again is a promise to end the America republic.

Trump must be defeated and his treasonous movement destroyed utterly.

No mercy for autocrats.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

92% of people under 25, and 67% of people in the UK wish to rejoin the EU.

A reminder: how it was...vs how it is 🙄

@NHSMillion And they're good to talk to, as they take patients from A to B in the maze that is Western General Hospital, Edinburgh.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We will never get tired of sharing this

NHS porters rarely get a mention, but they are doing an absolutely heroic job right now to keep our hospitals moving

Please spare a RT for all of them

[Dave Dineen @davesundown]

@arcticlass Nice mug!
