Twitter is weird. You give someone famous some polite, constructive criticism, and they block you because you’ve obviously hit a nerve. Others think you’ve been rude, but you can’t explain why you’re actually not, because they block replies. Lol…

@MartinSLewis I don’t post much on the cesspit that is Twitter. It just seemed a particularly pointless post. Like trying to persuade people to open and close multiple bank accounts for a few quid. But carry on, you’re very popular after all. I’m nobody at all…

@DrHelenFry If it’s only one, then Schindler’s List. The futility and horror summed up perfectly. Then The Longest Day, Tora Tora Tora, and The Man who never Was.

@NatalieFleetMP “Minister for Safeguarding and Violence against Women” !! Oh the irony…

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@SeaSpitfires Palpable. Tension is always palpable. 🤣

@Matt_Law_DT None of Chelsea’s English contingent deserves a place after that season, either on merit or due to fitness concerns. Aside from their egos needing managing, it should help them for next season.

@Keir_Starmer Cue 1,000s of children - “Daddy, what’s a bus?”

@jackgambardella 1. Better, more honest football
2. Much less time wasting
3. No VAR, as you said
4. Proper, genuine fans - no tourists.

Enjoy, and see you the following year !

@darrenpjones “What a load of malarkey”

@StanCollymore Terrific city, wonderful place to go for footy. Watch out for taxi drivers scamming you saying “you only gave me a 5” when you’ve given them 50. Place is notorious for it - always check !

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@Keir_Starmer Are you still here ?

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@holland_tom Sad yes, but on current form he’d struggle to get into the Vine CC where it all started.

@OllieHolt22 You forgot the Chelsea effect. Couldn’t beat an egg…

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@SeaSpitfires Why is Millin walking the wrong way ?

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@Anna_Soubry “Fundamentally honest and decent” ??!!!!! Hahahahaha - he’s worse than the last 14 years of the Tories and that’s the lowest of low bars ever created !

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@Matt_Law_DT This is not peculiar to Chelsea alone and could be said about many other Premier League clubs. Perhaps it has to do with the extraordinary amount of money sloshing around in the game, and the ability to earn in a season what the average man earns in a lifetime ?

@vicwhittamITV @LUFC Next up, the super popular “Go get your father’s gun”. Woof woof…

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@Keir_Starmer You’re just overwhelmed, promoted way above your level of competence. Resign and take your dreadful colleagues with you.

[Richard Smethurst @retiredrich45]

@SeaSpitfires Is that now covered by the North American Treaty Organisation ? 🤔
