I love Jesus, @francoiselechle, the baby, S.E. London and hope. Views nominally my own but all the good ones tend to be stolen from one or more of the above.
@HCH_Hill Incorrect. Britain is a poor, sad, limping disgrace. When we can build a railway, keep our disabled countrymen alive, manufacture steel or stop every successful business being sold to foreign asset strippers, THEN we can pay £300k for some guy’s tea.
@patrick_kidd@ChurchTimes@robertstan Oh my Lord, what a sucker punch in that final section. And how appropriate for Resurrection Sunday. He is risen, everything’s not lost.
@SouthEastRailGp @jerryalderson UN has its second office in Geneva and many UN bodies headquartered there in WHO, UNHCR and WIPO. Also Geneva is beautiful. But less kindly also I’d rather worsen their housing crisis than our own ;)
@HCH_Hill Ah, I didn’t know that, that’s really interesting. And a significant start. I don’t know how you cut the other big items without pain though, like health, social care, roads.
@HCH_Hill Literally every aspect of life is much better everywhere else. The state is overblown and unwieldy but take it away and things will be even worse for a majority of people, including you if you drive on the roads or have a wheelie bin or break your arm.
@HCH_Hill But cut what? Everything is already shit. We have the lowest benefits and pensions, the worst health and social care, and the most overstretched armed forces in NW Europe.
@phlaimeaux Hey, don’t know if you could RT but we have v. sadly had to return our 2 tickets for @Yourallypally this Friday so if 2 lucky people call the box office on 02083654343 they could buy them (and refund me)!
@thomasforth Hang on a sec—that pink line looks awfully like not-bad news? Really not used to that as a British person. But if our tax take is meant to rise towards a level we know to be beneficial and normal in other middle-income European countries, might that not be slightly… *hopeful*??
@A0331934682838 @ecommerceshares@jryancollins Indeed, and that is wise because simply undoing the availability of credit risks making a lot of people homeless when their mortgages come up for renewal.
@almurray It’s something about masts requiring planning permission, so as our use of our phones grows, the suppliers can’t put in the masts we need to keep up. My parents in Market Rasen have infinitely better reception than anywhere in C London.
@MartinSLewis Could we have an option for UTC all year too? Most of UK and Ireland are way to the left-hand side of our time zone so it would make more sense, even if it would mean uncomfortably early mornings for us in London.
