Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

[Max @max5vet]

@ScotRail any word on the delays for trains into Johnstone, due to the passenger taking ill? Is there an estimated time for when we will be moving again / ticket acceptance on McGills?

[Max @max5vet]

Has anyone had any success with resale tickets for @radiohead in Copenhagen? I've still yet to see any resale tickets listed, which seems improbable with the frequency I've been checking!

[Max @max5vet]

@ScotRail Are you able to advise whether the station car park has reopened yet?

[Max @max5vet]

@ScotRail Can you advise on a separate post that the station is closed (and update when it has reopened)? I arrived to pick my car up and was told (rather abruptly) I couldn't enter.

[Max @max5vet]

@virtualstatman what is the shortest duration national anthem that's ever been played on an F1 podium (assuming it will be a singular anthem for driver + constructor), and what is the longest?

Always feel like Brits winning for British teams are short-changed!

[Max @max5vet]

It's worse than that if you consider NI as an income tax, which it is in all but name (and a regressive one at that).

Effectively a *54%* tax rate for earnings between £43,663 and £50,268.

[Count Dankula @CountDankulaTV]

Earnings above £43,663 are already at a staggering 42% and public services are still dogshit.

Since most taxes are paying £10 to recieve £1 worth of service this will make no difference whatsoever except making politicians a little bit richer.

Like most taxes.

[Max @max5vet]

And attract x40 the people. Precisely what the policy is trying to deter.

[Max @max5vet]

If you "refuse" to participate in a campaign against the discrimination of whites in Zimbabwe, don't get upset when people call you racist.

See how this works?

[Alfie | HITC Sevens @HITCSevens]

@MSC6921 Okay, sure. Let’s be super charitable!

If you refuse to participate in a campaign against the discrimination of LGBT people, don’t get upset when people point out that it seems like you’re not that bothered about the discrimination of LGBT people.

[Max @max5vet]

Pointless vote

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

The Scottish Parliament has voted to back an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. #CeasefireNow

🟢 Yes: 90
🔴 No: 28

[Max @max5vet]

Again, why do we care what European countries think? 3 - yes, 3 - islanders voted in favour of becoming Argentinean.

Should we poll on the sovereignty of French Guiana?

[YouGov @YouGov]

Argentina's new president has suggested efforts would be made to get the Falkland Islands back, but Rishi Sunak says it's not up for discussion

Britons think the Falklands belong with the UK by 57% to 16%, but some European countries aren't so sure

[Max @max5vet]

Disgraceful considering the amount of money floating around

[Chris Medland @ChrisMedlandF1]

Single-day ticket holders have been offered a $200 voucher for the LVGP official shop.

F1 somehow still describing it as “a full round of practice successfully completed”.

If you’re on three-day tickets, sorry, you get nothing despite not seeing a third of the track time #F1

[Max @max5vet]

Useless.

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

@IncMonocle It’s deeply disrespectful to climb on a war memorial, but there’s no law making it illegal.

In the absence of a law officers cannot automatically arrest, but they can intervene & make it clear the behaviour isn't acceptable.

That’s what they are seen doing here in this video.

[Max @max5vet]

Reform second biggest party would be lovely

[Election Maps UK @ElectionMapsUK]

Westminster Voting Intention:

LAB: 46% (+2)
CON: 19% (-4)
RFM: 10% (+2)
LDM: 9% (-1)
GRN: 8% (+1)
SNP: 5% (+1)

Via @FindoutnowUK, 13-14 Nov.
Changes w/ 31 Oct - 1 Nov.

[Max @max5vet]

I expect the Met to be entirely impotent of course, but at least there is some rhetoric here opposing Islam-sympathiser's fundamental lack of respect for British culture and traditions.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

My statement on the disrespectful protests planned for Armistice Day.

[Max @max5vet]

I do hope they were disciplined. I'm all for free speech and the right to protest, but this is physical harassment.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Harvard students protesting against Israel surround a Jewish student and stop him from being able to leave.

🇺🇸🇮🇱

[Max @max5vet]

Is it? I think it's damning that they didn't act on that totally reasonable assertion.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

🚨 This is one of the most damning of the messages to be revealed so far in the #CovidInquiry.

Boris Johnson texts to say median age of those dying is 82 - “above life expectancy. So get Covid and live longer”.

He therefore rules out a second nationwide lockdown.

[Max @max5vet]

I hate this cartoon. Pay to enter the ground you cheapskates.

[David Murphy @ClinPsychDavid]

I love the famous equality/equity/justice cartoon & have used it a lot in talks. However, its always really bugged me that the three people stay exactly where they are, outside the park, in all 4 pictures, so I've taken the liberty of added a 5th, does this make sense?

[Max @max5vet]

And Britain repealed those laws decades ago, you fucking melt.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Of course, the British in 1936 are responsible for the actions of Islamic extremists in 2023, said nobody serious.

[Max @max5vet]

Increasingly convinced that face masks were a psyop to allow thugs to wear face coverings and evade detection

[Max @max5vet]

Tax cuts are not an investment.

[Phil Sturgeon @philsturgeon]

£3.6 billion - Annual investment in HS2.

£5 billion - Annual budget for new roads scheme RIS2.

£6 billion - Annual cost of freezing fuel duty at 2010 levels.

£6.5 billion - Annaul cost of Airline Passenger Duty cuts.

Which one of those repays the investment.
