Started an account to read other people’s views. Ended up having *opinions* 🤭

@HSBC_UK It doesn’t help at all.

Why don’t you do this? Every other bank I know of does. What is the problem with stamping the documents you’ve just printed? It defies common sense.

If you won’t offer this basic service at no cost to you I’d rather have the forms to close the account.

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

.@HSBC_UK Why on earth aren’t your branch staff allowed to stamp the statements they just printed? They told me to take it to a notary?!

No other bank I have used has this ridiculous and unhelpful policy.

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

Why does @tfl insist on closing half the exits to its stations before the last trains have gone?

Do they get off on seeing people miss their last connection or is there some formal commitment to inconvenience passengers?

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@thhamilton @bouledenerfs_ This is essentially what Tony Blair *did* in 1997. Then reneged on when he got a landslide.

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@thhamilton @bouledenerfs_ Isn’t the idea that it enables an electoral pact with other centre-left parties, which is—the theory goes—the only way to oust the Tories?

@MoniRuna7 @Otto_English @mudlarklives @greggwatson90 Channel 4 is also publicly owned

@BestForBritain It’s a spurious justification anyway. We could have pursued the same course as EU members.

Denmark is expecting to be done vaccinating by then end of June.

@michaelglasper Calendar Girls?

@jonworth “Offenbar” doing some rather heavy lifting there

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth That doesn’t take account of the fact he is describing an agreement “reached three months before the EU”. Nor that he is describing a specific condition that a party insisted on *at that time*

It is a reading at odds with the plain sense meaning of his words

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth How else can you read his statement? He is talking *about* a contract. He says the UK insisted on this arrangement and “basically, that’s how it is”

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth Are you rejecting or accepting Soriot’s statement that AZ agreed, months before the EU contract was signed, to supply the UK first from the UK supply chain?

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth We don’t have the contract. That is the problem. But without it we can say either

-there is the undertaking that Soriot and Hancock both claim, to supply UK first from the UK supply chain

OR

-there is no such undertaking and both are not telling the truth

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth Soriot is not a lawyer. He is a CEO who has expressly said that the UK insisted, at the time of making the agreement you recognise, that UK supply chain should feed the UK first.

Are you denying that such agreement was reached, despite his statement that it was?

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth The licensing agreement provides an obvious means to create the condition *that Soriot describes*

Again: Soriot says this condition exists. Hancock agrees

No one said it is in the supply agreement. They all say it predates it

The licensing contract is a probable place for it

[la reine ubu @lareineubu]

@SpinningHugo @jonworth No one has a copy of the licensing agreement. That is one of @jonworth’s complaints.

It is Soriot’s claim, not mine. Unless he is lying, there is an agreement somewhere that requires AZ to supply UK first from the UK supply chain. 1/2
