Men are hit by lightning ⚡️6 times more often than women!

My first attempts at wee videos on the work I do. Any pointers?!

This time 'gender, lightning & masculinity'

Hi @kelburnparties 👋 looking forward to it!
Will there be posh toilets/ shower tix available this year? Where n when can we get them please

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@weekates88 @InterfaithScot @ScotLINK @mcsuk Thanks so much Katie - really glad you found it helpful!

@HMRCcustomers I have completed my self assessment and the final page says that it does not take into account any payments made in 22/23. The page suggests to go to 'you Personal Tax Account and check your Statement of Account'.
I'm at my personal account but don't see 'statement of account'?

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@HMRCcustomers I already made payments towards my tax bill for 22/23. Presumably the amount I have paid already should be taken off the amount I owe for 22/23. Where can I see my current balance?

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The way forward is clear:

Humanitarian ceasefire.
Respect for int'l humanitarian law.

Unconditional release of hostages.

Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools.

Ending use of civilians as human shields.
More humanitarian aid entering Gaza.

NOW.

The unforgiveable atrocities of Hamas speaks to profound dehumanisation of Israelis
The indiscriminacy of the IDF violence speaks to the same dehumanisation

Israeli President says there are no innocent citizens in the Gaza Strip

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

‘What happened in 7th Oct is awful and horrendous…. and I believe that indiscriminate murder of people in Gaza does not bring back our hostages… that is not a strategy to being security, safety and peace to the people of this land’

[Another Europe is Possible 🧡 @Another_Europe]

This is a must watch. @OwenJones84 interviews conscientious objector Atalya Ben-Abba (@againstwarvoice @refusers). You can back her call for an immediate ceasefire here: https://t.co/0sh1KJil5P

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

The West have been rightly criticising the Russian military's targeting of civilians in Ukraine and yet what is happening in Gaza seems far worse.
Dropping bombs on children is not self defence.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"If the world has forsaken them, you cannot possibly forsake them yourself."

Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a surgeon in Gaza, describes why doctors are still treating the wounded in hospitals amid the "absolute carnage" of Israeli airstrikes.

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@ScottishWDF @PoliceScotland Thanks for this. Loving the sparkles in that photo!

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

So important to recognise the many Jewish people calling for a ceasefire in Gaza

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@ShaheenScotland @PoliceScotland @ACCSteveJohnson Thanks Shaheen! Looking forward to working with your colleagues across Scotland

@kelburnparties Hi 👋🏻. Just double-checking we can get into the car park (and live in parking) from noon tomorrow? I’m pretty sure the email the other day said it opens at 2pm

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@MyGlasgowCC Thanks. I did read that page before tweeting actually because it doesn’t say anything about them not being usable if they’re crushed. I assume it’s fine to squish them then 👍

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

Hi @GlasgowCC recycling query - some websites say that drink cans cant be recycled if they're crushed. Is that right? It seems absurd!

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

As if the actual smugglers get on boats and risk their lives to reach Europe🤦‍♀️
The 9 arrested for sharing steering the boat were in as much danger as the others & are being scapegoated for the clear failure to act by authorities.
Greek & EU coastguard are the criminals. #r4today

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Greece has run prison camps for migrants for years.
Greek guards push families out to sea, leave them adrift on rafts.
Europe pays Turkey to block and return people.

And thousands, thousands and thousands have drowned.

There is no deterrence. There never will be any deterrence.

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@kelburnparties Thanks for the response! Luckily a friend has a couple of live-in parking spaces that they aren't using anymore.

[Jamie Spurway @JamieSpurway]

@kelburnparties Hi 👋. I sent a msg thru the contact form on the site but haven't heard back. Do I need a separate ticket to park a campervan? We have 2 adult weekend tickets & an advance parking ticket. Thanks!
