Hey gang, a warning to avoid car parks operated by Armtrac Security Services who issue tickets impossible to pay online or phone, which then escalate.
David Raynor & Endellion Parish Council need to reconsider using them.
A parking scam for us to investigate @AAPresident?!

Fashion Entrepreneur Patrick Grant, "I can't help feeling that we have had a Conservative government that has done more harm and less good to both the country and the general population, than any government in my 50 years"

"Most governments in the past, whatever way you vote, you could probably point to something they've done something better for somebody"

"But I genuinely can't think of anything this government has done that has made anything better for anybody"

"I could probably spend the next hour listing things that they've made worse"

"That the Future Nurse Standards do not provide specific guidance on mental health nursing only seems to confirm that the specialism is somehow secondary or dispensable". Great paper which adds to @nmcnews reading list. #MHDeservesBetter https://t.co/lLSTVbVXJE

So well- put. What have we become? So inhumane.

Paint over Mickey Mouse
Burn Where the Wild Things Are
Pulverise the lego
Set fire to the Christmas tree star.

Seize all the teddies
Bury every skipping rope
Paint the walls dark brown
Abolish all hope.

With PM Sunak featured again on the 2023 Rich List, no wonder he's avoiding a critical solution to the crisis: taxing the super-rich! 78% of voters support more wealth taxes over £10M - let's ask Sunak to do what's right for the UK, not for him. Sign here https://t.co/JqRQ2ZifJb

Well done to Ruth Cooper and team for this work on pioneering services supporting people to withdraw from psychiatric medications - they are building up a knowledge base to make up for lack of research on this issue @markhoro @JDaviesPhD https://t.co/ZuBEOEAQkr

🚨Culture Wars Latest: Censoring UK’s most trusted voice on nature is shocking dereliction of BBC’s duty to public service broadcasting. It CANNOT allow truth on nature depletion to be victim in cynical culture wars stoked by populist Ministers #WildIsles https://t.co/uOXT3r4mnl
