@NewhamLondon My husband has been on hold with you for 50 minutes (twice in a row) and has now been cut off. This is terrible customer service from you and a complete waste of everybody's time. Sort your systems out.
@LidlGB Have you ever met a toddler? Please put safety straps back on your trolleys so that toddlers can sit in them safely. This stressful shopping farce cannot continue.
The saddest news: the death of Dame Maggie Smith marks the end of a golden era & a quite extraordinary life. She was a truly great actress, “one of the greats” & simply the best company: wise, witty, waspish, wonderful. One of a kind in every way & consequently irreplaceable.
Oh and speaking for my own teenage kids - they did their national service by abiding by the rules of lockdown, getting their jabs and doing their bit for this country even as their education was shot to pieces. Meanwhile the fuckers in the fucking Tory party partied and ate cake.
Thursday’s elections have highlighted a major issue facing our media now: seeing and being honest about the difference between real public sentiment & ‘community’ campaigns funded by private or political interests. The media must grow public literacy rather than fuel the problem.
I’ve said it before, but if we all just decided not to take part in Monday, there’s nothing anyone could do about it. But some of you always crack and actually start the day. Ruins it for the rest of us. We have to hold strong as a unit. Shame.
#Bodyshop was a peak 90s shopping treat. I loved the banana lip balm, the fruit shaped soaps, the enormous gift baskets you could buy at Christmas. But now, the products aren't as fun and the staff are so overbearing that I back out as soon as I step in.
Rishi Sunak told Beth Rigby "That's not what the Public wants." When asked about a General Election.
Like if you want a General Election
RT if you really want one.
Liar Rishi Sunak has to go.
So the £38,700 income threshold *will* apply to spouses of British citizens who are already in the UK.
They need to satisfy new, higher threshold when applying for extension of their visas.
This is unbelievably low and appalling, even for the Tories.

There will tickings off and stern words and admonitions - and then Johnson will get away with it just as he has with everything in his whole ghastly, entitled, smirking existence.
I’m wading into this debate. I don’t even know why it’s a debate. I’d love Greece to have its beautiful Parthenon marbles back.
I mean, it’s been really lovely to have them on extended loan, but they’re not ours.

The first day of witness evidence has produced some devastating testimony. I will do my best to give you a sense of the day. Apologies for the length of this thread. There is a lot to get through and honestly, too much for this platform…
