Just checking in in the unlikely event that X has improved any. (Itt hasn't, but you don't need me to tell you that.)

Chaps: 40+ and never been tested, or not been tested recently? Get to the Doc's and insist on a #PSA test. It could save your life...❤️
I'm delighted to report that on Sunday I exceeded my target to 'Walk 60 Miles in November' for Prostate Cancer Research .
Big thanks to @NHSaaa for getting me through the op and all the shenanigans thereafter (blokes, if you want to know more, DM me).
And a massive 🙏🙏🙏 to my good pal in Maidens - you know who you are; take a bow DD! - without whom I might have waited a bit longer to get tested 🙏🙏🙏.
I'm forever grateful to everyone who has donated - as of today the total sits at £1585.00 - amazing - thank you 🙏

Wow! It's only November 4 and I've raised over £1,000 for Prostate Cancer Research
On behalf of all those who'll benefit from the research which this will fund, thanks so-o-o much to everyone who's donated so far.

Thanks again all!

Taking a break from @X /Twitter after 15 years on here.
Can't deal with egotists/ agitators/ agents provocateur in positions of power and influence like #Musk.
I'll probably be back (maybe).
Thanks Elon, it's been.
Wow. The comments on here. Some of these people must've been born in a lab if they think they're genetically pure.
#Musk's 'intervention' is making me seriously reconsider my association with @X.

1. What we are seeing all over social media now is flat denial of the very existence of the far right. Far right agitators claim to be simple “patriots”, defending their country. Which is just what far right agitators have said for the past century.🧵
When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.
When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.
When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.
Let’s promote a message of unity instead.
One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.
One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.
Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.
Prof Stephen Reicher, "I would appeal to you to not call these people protestors. They're not protestors"
"To call them protestors is profoundly misleading. It is to discredit a long tradition of perfectly legitimate and peaceful and important protest that has made our society better in many ways"
"What's going on is specific to these crowds.. Crowd psychology is there when people are cleaning up the streets as well as attacking the streets.. The difference is one group has an ideology of hate and violence, another has a vision of community and solidarity"
"Most people are pro immigration.. The irony is that over recent years attitudes towards immigration has become more positive.. People see immigrants as a boom rather than as a menace to the country.. Britain is one of the more liberal countries"
"If we didn't have migrants then our care service would fall apart, our NHS would fall apart.. It's important not to highlight the negative exceptions, but to show that most people are pro migrants"
We need to have some clarity about the causes of the rioting over the past few days.
A 🧵about the rioters, the instigators (two fairly distinct groups of people), and the processes leading to the current unrest. 1/21
