Asked someone if they had headphones the other week and got verbally abused and told "what's next, you're going to tell me I can't talk to my friend?"
It's parasitic behaviour and I hate it.

Hi @AvantiWestCoast - is there any chance the 11.24 from Milton Keynes to Manchester will be held for a few minutes to allow people on the delayed LNR train through Hemel Hempstead to make their connection? Please!!!!
Have young women today forgotten about or simply not ever seen what happened to Jade Goody?

I'm old enough to remember when virtually everybody in the working class Lancashire town I grew up in voted Labour. Most workers were in unions & most of us were proud democratic socialists. We knew who our opponents were, it wasn't our areas Pakistani community who had come to work hard in our cotton mills; our enemies were the rich, the Tories who didn't want to pay their fair share into society and didn't give a damn for worker's rights & conditions. The country has changed in the past 50 years, but my values have not and never will. Social justice for all, regardless of class, gender, sexuality or ethnicity. I'd rather chop off my hand than vote for the right - Tory or Reform.

Got a bit ballsy on the train and asked a guy to turn his phone volume down or use headphones.
"Why should I do that?"
"Because it's annoying for the rest of us"
"Shame isn't it" and he turned the volume up 🙃
I really dislike people sometimes
this is what privilege looks like, and we shouldn't ignore how much harm looking the other way because things don't affect us directly does. don't be Tom Felton
In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.
