@greatesthitsuk @ZoeTheBall A shame that Kate Thornton won't be presenting that slot anymore, liked her a lot.

What will Kate Thornton be doing now?

@HeartandStroke KNOWS that it's lying, so they disable responses. Canada has among the LOWEST youth vaping rates, and close to the lowest youth smoking rate, in the world according to the latest @WHO report.

Can't help but snigger.

Decades of the North being neglected and ignored.

5 minutes of the South feeling left out and you'd think the world had ended!

@truthb4face @teslaownersSV @elonmusk What the fudge dude. Many letters strung together to create random words does not produce substance.

@MittensOff EMR is operated by Transport UK, a private company, but it runs under a National Rail Contract with the Department for Transport. Under this arrangement But they pay for all the liveries by themself And no the public are not paying for Liveries

[Ali @Muggsy14]

@BDakoo @bennett_sam You care so much about those poor woman that you used the word 'raped' as a snide remark/slur in your OP as if it means nothing.

Your support for those who have suffered is superficial and lacking in any real empathy.

So, to recap:

This has been the case since 1987 - Under Thatcher!

It is only available to those with severe enough mobility issues to qualify for the enhanced mobility component of PIP or DLA.

The 16-year-olds still have to pass the same test as everyone else

In fact, it has been the case since The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1987.

When Margaret Thatcher was PM.

I wonder why it took the Daily Mail nearly 40 years to "reveal" that regulation? 🤷‍♀️

@BBCNews Ah I’m spending £200 per day on lunch. That’s probably where I’m going wrong.

@sammy_ide @BBCNews Retired early with no children may be a more relevant factor 🤔

This is real footage from 126 years ago.

What you are watching is the trottoir roulant, the moving sidewalk, built for the great World's Fair in Paris in 1900.

More than a century ago, three years before the Wright brothers would make the first airplane flight, the city built an electric street that carried you across itself while you simply stood there...

It ran in a loop of around three and a half kilometres, raised on a viaduct above the fairgrounds, with nine stations where you could step on and off.

And it had a clever design: two moving platforms side by side, one going at walking pace and one faster, so you could step onto the slow one first, then onto the quick one, and ride the whole circuit in about twenty-six minutes without taking a single step.

Nearly fifty million people came to that fair, and for most of them it was the first time they had ever moved through a place without taking a step.

The very first moving walkway had appeared seven years earlier, at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, built by the same designers. But the Paris version was longer, faster, and far more sophisticated, and it was here that the world truly fell in love with the idea.

It astonished people. The thought that the ground itself could carry you felt like magic, like something out of a dream of the future. They even called it the Rue de l'Avenir: the Street of the Future.

Thomas Edison sent a crew to film it, which is why we can still watch it today...

@Uhfgood @Morr6565 @JamesLucasIT Airports and other places have travelators, it's the same thing. Hell, even my supermarket has one.

Disney could afford to do it.

@prof_curiosity1 “Socially transitioned at 2.5yrs old” this alone should be all that’s required to trigger an immediate investigation by social services. My god, this poor child, how can this not be regarded as a serious case of child abuse?

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

Two and a half. This unfortunate little boy was "socially transitioned" by his parents before he was three years old, and is now profoundly damaged, and terrified of being "outed" as the boy he is.

This is child abuse. It must stop.

[Ali @Muggsy14]

@URU2Speak @jwilsonofficial @PolitlcsUK @LibDems As a patriot you should believe in the law of the land, which states that it's illegal.

[Ali @Muggsy14]

I've been reading this thread, the fantastic replies, in a near state of silent hysteria, trying not to wake my daughter up . Best laugh I've had in a long time.

[Fesshole🧻 @fesshole]

Today, after using coconut oil as a lubricant for anal sex for the first time last night, I realised how often I silently fart without realising. It must have been at least a dozen times when the smell of coconut mysteriously appeared around me.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Elon Musk asked for a name of a person he has killed.

He got a list.

[Muriel Gray @ArtyBagger]

This is simply magnificent.
