O&G with interest in pelvic floor dysfunction & obstetric care for complex pelvic floor problems. Dove in hawk's clothing. All views my own.

@WestMidRailway Some service updates would be nice. Just sat on 1706 BNS towards Lichfield. Nothing happening.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@monisha_rajesh @semibroiled You weren't referencing him, this post just popped up in the middle of all this purely by chance?

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@monisha_rajesh Definitely understand my privilege and position. But the man has Tourette's syndrome, it was not a RACIST slur. The TV show should have edited it out. That was the offence here. For the record, I have been racially abused by a non-white colleague. Not the same, but some empathy.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@WendellPierce Tics in Tourette's do not reflect the views of the person, and are uncontrollable. So it is awful, and dreadfully sad; but it is pretty awful and isolating for this man too, who left the awards of his own volition, presumably to prevent further.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@WendellPierce It isn't a racist slur, in the sense that there was no intention to be racist. I understand that these guys need to be cared for, supported. But the omission of care here is the programming, not the man with Tourette's. It could and should have been removed.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@gladplusD @jemelehill Yes. Exactly that.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@DocBanks84 @WendellPierce I agree with you about the programming. Terrible. But please know it was not hate. It was Tourette's Syndrome.

Tics do not reflect the person or their beliefs. I agree - make sure the actors are ok. Criticise the programming. But not the Tourette's sufferer.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@WestMidRailway Thank you.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@WestMidRailway Can I claim compensation. This is a shambles.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@WestMidRailway utter shambles. 1826 from University now cancelled after huge delay at BNS. Can't imagine why people drive to work. Oh...wait...

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

Unannounced delay at Birmingham New Street whilst @WestMidRailway keep us locked on the train for 20 mins whilst they join 2 trains together.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@ActivewearGroup any chance you could ask customer service what their turn around to deal with anything looks like, please?

Order placed 10 days ago; no dispatch notice; no replies. Grrr.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@TUIUK any updates on BY7284 from Brum? Wife sitting on the tarmac for 2 hours.

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

Skip the Olympics, watch this masterpiece.

Why do people hang dog poo in a plastic bag from a tree? How is that better than leaving it on the floor?

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@karlmac1 @MrJamesMay You know him as well, eh? Bloody hate it.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@paulfinn3 @karlmac1 @MrJamesMay @LouiseFinn8 I know a good divorce lawyer!

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

@WestMidRailway 1222 Wylde Green to BNS. Then moved to a whole different train in front of it.

[Mr P in Brum @mp1406]

Mad dash at BNS @WestMidRailway! No announcements, just the train manager suddenly chucking us off the train, staff literally shouting at us 'Quick quick'. If @WestMidRailway sorted out their announcements, shouting at customers would not be needed!
