@sainsburys demonstrating that #jewsdontcount in the Cheltenham store - again. It’s the third time. You can see from the shelf labelling that this is deliberate and not a customer doing it. Very offensive indeed.

@PayByPhone I am trying to pay for parking in Cheltenham and the App is not working. The meter is also not taking car payments. When will the App be back? I do not want to get a ticket!

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

Saw @HackettOfficial for the 10th time yesterday in Brum. Perhaps the best yet! A cracking first set from his solo repertoire followed by highlights from “The Lamb” and some other Genesis greats.

The band were superb and clearly enjoying playing as much as we enjoyed listening!

@Stagecoach_West Thanks. I restarted the App and it reappeared! It probably was updating at the precise moment I tried to activate it! All good now! Thanks.

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

@Stagecoach_West Just bought a ticket, activated it as the bus arrived, the ticket briefly flashed up then disappeared. Trying to activate again gave a message that it was active on another device! Fortunately the driver believed me, but this is not good behaviour of the App!

@ChaiLife613 Let’s just say it’s a good job I am wearing a proper Canicross belt. Otherwise I’d have done multiple face plants by now!

Proud to join today with 105,000 people in the March Against Antisemitism. A thoughtful, peaceful, demonstration - mazel tov to @antisemitism and their partners for putting this on.

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

We know from history that when people say they want to kill Jews, it is not a rhetorical device. They mean it. The same fanatical antisemitism that led to the murders of my grandparents in Auschwitz still stalks the world, just with a different mask.

5/5

On Sunday, I joined about 15,000 people from the community and our allies at the solidarity rally in Trafalgar Square. The simple message - “Bring the Hostages Home”. 1/5

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

Also palpable was fear in the community after the violent antisemitism seen here on Britain’s streets during Saturday’s march. Increasing the anxiety was the biassed coverage of the conflict by the media (such as the reporting of the awful Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion). 4/5

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

Brilliant, cool, forensic exposure of BBC bias. Natasha Hausdorff is superb here.

[leekern @leekern13]

The @BBCNews gets it’s arse handed to it again. This time incredibly politely by an international law expert who gift wraps the BBC’s arse for them and hands it over with a card saying: “Dear BBC - please find enclosed your arse”

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

This.

[Dave Rich @daverich1]

If anyone still wonders whether objective truth matters, a single news story that turns out to be false sparked riots in several cities, probably inspired the firebombing of a Jewish building in Berlin, and disrupted key diplomatic meetings in the Middle East. Facts matter!

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

Hooray! Got tickets to see @HackettOfficial and friends at @tradingbo next January. Can’t wait to see them again. It’s such a treat to see these amazing musicians in such a small and delightful venue.

@BristolAirport Any chance of a proper reply to either my previous Tweets or my complaint logged weeks ago? Taking my money for a service which you didn't supply should be an easy case for an immediate refund. Do I have to start a Section 75 claim via my Credit Card?

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

@BristolAirport Hello! Would you mind answering this please? I would prefer not to have to approach my Credit Card company for a Section 75 refund as this requires more paperwork. You charged for a service that you did not deliver and are now holding on to my money for an unreasonably long time.

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

@BristolAirport When flying out a few weeks ago I booked the 1903 Lounge for my wife and me. When we got there it was closed with no explanation. I filled in your online form with all the details requesting a refund - still no response. This is unacceptable.

[Simon Burne @simonburne1]

@BristolAirport Hi. It's more than three weeks since I filled in your form and requested a refund. There is no question that I booked it and paid through your website, there is no question that the lounge was closed. Why am I still waiting for my refund? Unacceptable service.
