Help me raise £750 to teach English to disadvantaged Cambodian children. Please #donate on @justgiving and RT. Thanks! https://t.co/vH7bjt2xGw

@AndreaCowanSNP @Tesco I’m in no way defending a major supermarket (I work for an independent greengrocer) but a lot of basic items aren’t available at the moment. The reason we have been given is the cost of fuel to heat the grow houses on the continent means they aren’t using energy due to prices.

@E46088871 @JamesBlunt Even though our politics appear very different by looking at your emojis and hashtags, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read this fine Sunday morning so far😂👍!

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@Markdueblack @JamesBlunt Sorry for your loss. I lost my father last year, normally the undertakers can deal with all that and pay for the copyright so it can be played? I had three songs which I paid for, without looking I think it was only around £50 for all three. Might be worth checking again 🤔?

@ringostarrmusic Happy birthday Ringo! Fell asleep on the settee last night whilst watching the Anthology series, woke up with every Beatles song in my head 😳😂! Peace and love 🙂

@Independent Breaking news from the Indy. Can you put me in tomorrow’s paper saying that I’ve worn the same shoes for a few months when I’m at work 🙄?

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@WyreForestLab Did we ever find out why? I’m intrigued!

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@IanM65 @transportgovuk Central gov double speak. How many fingers Winston? Careful, you’ll end up in room 101 😳😂! I’ve always been curious whether Orwell was being prophetic or were things similar in his era and he could observe it only as Orwell could such as in road to Wigan Pier and Animal farm🤔

@Markgsparrow He’ll be in Pizza express at 7.45 on the 18th March if you want to ask him anything. He’ll also recall he was there in 20 years time if you forget about it 😂😳.

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@IanM65 Would that not lead to an increase in the LHA and Council tax discretionary payments which are paid for by local gov tax payers anyway though? 🤔

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@Glostermeteor @mr_trajan @ALDC I agree Liberalism is the right way. Prob is the Lib Dems of today are not the Liberal party of Gladstone, Lloyd George or even Thorpe. Classical Liberalism I fully support. Social Democratic left wing policies of late I just can’t. Sort that and you may have my backing again👍!

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@IanM65 @BBCNews If inflation is running above 4% as it is currently then any form of council, whether it be local, district or county has only three choices; raise council tax, use reserves (effectively deferring a rise) or cut services. I’d expect to see a rise in more than 95% of all councils.

@DI93_ @Otto_English Scotland booed God Save the Queen at Wembley, that’s even worse. It’s called treason as it’s their national anthem too! No excuses for booing though to be fair but it isn’t anything new. Laser pen on the other hand is bang out of order and dangerous.

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@cllrfranoborski And African slaves to be fair!

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@Mark4WyreForest Yep, beaten fair and square. I don’t mind losing to Ian Hardiman as he’s a hard working Councillor who I get on well with. Extremely disappointed not to have beaten Labour and gained second place though! 😳

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

1970- the end of an era for what I still would class as the best band of all time. Although Abbey Road was written last I believe?

@cllrfranoborski @adriansewell53 What concerns me, in the Wyre Forest Divisions anyway, if you add up all the non Tory votes, it still wouldn’t have beaten them in a majority of the County divisions. I know yours and Mary’s was close but the others? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen before? 🤔

[John Beeson @johnkbeeson]

@campbellclaret @BorisJohnson He hasn’t started an illegal war yet though unless I’ve missed something? 🤔
