@opticianonline any idea why cpd c-116310 isn't available on the GOC website?

@DannyAinscough7 @Saints1890 Happened right infront of us. He waved the stretcher away and wouldn't use it.

@AvantiWestCoast Hi no worries a very nice Avanti Lady at New street has got it all sorted for me. Didn't get her name but she was excellent.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@AvantiWestCoast had an open return from Euston to Liverpool Lime street. Obviously huge problems at Euston so managed to get to Birmingham New Street. Onwards trains to lime street not covered by origonal ticket according to your advice. Is this correct?

I’ve done a bit of research into these claims, and here is what I found regarding how Kemi is misrepresenting the facts and why this is pure disinformation:
1. The "Free Car" Myth: Framing this as a "taxpayer-funded car" is a complete distortion of how Motability works. It is exclusively a lease scheme. Claimants voluntarily exchange their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) mobility allowance to cover the lease cost. If you remove their access to the car, the state still pays them that cash allowance. The cost to the taxpayer is identical; the only difference is that disabled people lose their independence.
2. The "Mild" Condition Lie: This is the most dangerous part. You cannot get the Enhanced Mobility Rate (required for a car) for "low-level" anxiety or "mild" depression. To qualify, a condition must be severe enough to functionally prevent a person from planning or following a journey safely. Framing debilitating psychological distress as "mild" is a calculated move to stigmatise disabled people and incite public anger.
3. Cherry-picked Stats: The claim that a "third of all sales" come from this scheme is statistically misleading. Nationally, the figure is closer to 15%. Using extreme regional outliers to imply the entire market is skewed is simply dishonest.
This isn't about "fixing welfare"; it’s about stripping independence from vulnerable people to score political points. Readers, please check the actual criteria before falling for this spin.

@RedVeeDotNet Listen they couldn't even work out the correct light switch for the lights in the east stand. Far too much to expect them to think of keeping the shop open.

@JeremyClarkson excellent few pints of Hawkstone lager tonight at our little caravan site in Wales. Glasses not arrived and badges for the pump missing so blinded by the LED's but lager spot on.

@SingSongSoup @IsabelOakeshott You haven't a clue mate. Having to go through hoops to get one for my 84 year old mum and she can hardly walk and has dementia. Don't comment on stuff you haven't a clue about.

@SkyHelpTeam no mobile signal now for 48 hours. 3rd time this year. Mast problems apparently but no updates and no estimated fix time. Just what is going on.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@UKAirband Came back on then gone off again. Can't seem to manage to supply what I'm.paying for. Time for some compensation I think. Managed to send my invoice today though.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@UKAirband no internet of any consistency for almost a month. Been ringing since Saturday evening it's now Monday morning. No one answers and no one returns messages.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@SkyHelpTeam hi. No mobile phone network in North Wales at the moment. What's going on please?

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@SkyHelpTeam very disappointing that for such a major service outage your last "update" on here was 7 hours ago. No phone, no data,no Google pay,no Internet banking,no access to third party authorisation for all sorts of things. Need an update!

@RedVeeDotNet @ASTAR__JOBS We need someone that can kick!!!

[Buddug~EDS/ME/LC Covid is Airborne @pwsimerimiaw]

Rory Stewart on Jacob Rees Mogg, ' Stay away from the man as far as possible', 'he's bad news, has been in on all this from the start'. He doesn't mention he is an MP for North East Somerset as that makes him look too peasant, begging for democracy.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

Great win for @MerseyWcr today. First match of the season and a convincing win.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@socialistmo Maurice running late sorry be as quick as I can.

[Stephen Bridge @stevemb62]

@fia @Max33Verstappen @F1 @LewisHamilton @Carlossainz55 Hmm. Protest still not decided but looks like you have made your mind up. Utter shambles. Race director should resign or be sacked.

@jessasstrophe Stunning eyes and I'm an optician. Keep smiling.
