@paulmwiggin @MichaelTakeMP I think Sir Micky Take has already won

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@Tintabeth @MichaelTakeMP May I suggest you might need to reflect on what the real meaning of the name Michael (or Micky) Take could be?

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@MarilynDobbs1 @MichaelTakeMP Nothing is ever made up when Sir Micky Take posts. In a world of Fake News he is a glistening beacon of truth, and I for one think that no Conservative is more sensible than he.

@Chrisnz125 @MartinSLewis Same here. According to the MSE forum they are exiting the credit card market in the UK. Wish they had been upfront about that in their email.
You're not in breach of article 14. Article 14 allows them to cancel your card for any reason with months notice.

@fuzzfoster @MartynDav33 @MartinSLewis How much money does an average petrol station (mostly small business franchisees) take in a day?

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@fuzzfoster @MartynDav33 @MartinSLewis And yes, money is stolen from bank accounts all the time (you've expanded the scope of theft beyond mere payments in your question). But if they didn't exist and we all kept our cash personally how much more attractive would robberies on houses and premises be?

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@fuzzfoster @MartynDav33 @MartinSLewis And I'm not advocating for cash to be abolished. But assertions that it is "free to use" aren't borne out by more than a cursory examination of the facts.

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@Xylus19 @fuzzfoster @MartynDav33 @MartinSLewis You're correct of course. Many businesses depend on power for more than just taking someone's money. For the others, it's helpful to know that Stripe terminals will run on batteries for several hours.

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@fuzzfoster @MartynDav33 @MartinSLewis Time spent counting and reconciling cash to your booked sales is not free. Time spent distributing enough change to every till in a medium to large shop is not free. Having your cash stolen is not free. Safes are not free. Theft insurance (more cash = more risk) is not free.

@HelTtweet @British_Airways After 8 weeks you can take your complaint to arbitration: https://t.co/NUZeLPvtgz

After a blatantly incorrect response to my complaint last year (also 2 month wait) I replied asking for a CEDR final response letter and got satisfaction and an apology within 12 hours.

@SosThefixer @MichaelTakeMP I don't think Sir Micky Take (stop, go back, and reread that name, slowly) is the cognitively challenged one in this exchange.

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@keef233 @MichaelTakeMP What makes you think that Sir Micky Take could be a parody?

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@Matt_building @MichaelTakeMP I think it's an encouraging sign of modern Conservatism that the party is so committed to equality it will no longer tolerate discrimination on the grounds of gender. Or race. Or cognitive ability.

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@GordonFielden @MichaelTakeMP Hopefully there is a lesson that you will learn tonight, when (if?) the penny drops

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@berriman_dave @CCCortbus @AngeH36039158 @BarristerSecret Both things could be true

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@Kevin_Fong Thank you for your testimony

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@waitrose please remind your drivers - especially WU22EOM trying to force a way through at 0840 today - that the NO HGV ACCESS signs at Honey Hill, Wokingham are not there for fun. Thanks.

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@BanburyUnitedFC I'm the Club Secretary for @AshridgeParkLFC and I urgently need to contact YOUR secretary because I gather your team have pulled out of tomorrow's match. Can you DM me or email me - address at https://t.co/T0ndDsKH9T thank you

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@MichaelTakeMP Bunty and I, not Bunty and me.

Sometimes I wonder if you're not some woke yoof with a fake profile trying to wind up the real gentlemen on here.

[James Wyper @screddajames]

@paulmcbride38 @MichaelTakeMP What made you think Sir Micky Take was running a parody account at first?
