If you don’t already know the work of Douglas Dunn, - treat yourself for Christmas

@MaryDevlin21 Like in Labour run North Lanarkshire Council ?
I think you are very confused & perhaps somewhat befuddled

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@paddybarclay Hi Mr Barclay, (Paddy)
Good to say hello last night & express my regard for your work.
I will follow your podcast with the same enthusiasm & enjoyment that I read your writing.
Cheers!

I stand with Greta
And the fabulous & committed & creative young people who love their planet,“the good earth”
And act because they care 4 the future all creatures who on Mother Earth, dwell & for those yet unborn
It may not always be comfortable
But it essential & a privilege

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Week 261. Now marks 5 years since the first school strike for the climate. For 5 years, every week we've demanded climate justice. Some Fridays we've been millions flooding the streets of the world, other Fridays we've been a few dozen braving the cold outside our Parliaments. 🧵

@OVOEnergy @MrJohnNicolson Dealing with OVO - or trying 2 - 4 an elderly frail friend
Her bill went from £850 in March to £5,333 in May
Extreme difficulty getting response from OVO
(Despite many many contacts).
Causing her great distress
OVO - Maximum feasible indifference
To their customers

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@OVOEnergy @MrJohnNicolson S

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

If you are a customer of OVO Energy you have my sympathy
Check your bills before you pay
I think Nicholson has a very strong point - based on considerable experience

[JOHN NICOLSON 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 @MrJohnNicolson]

As a @BBCWatchdog presenter & MP I've encountered a few unsavoury firms. But how about @OVOEnergy for thuggery? They claimed I owed more than £1k (I didn't - they'd sent an estimate.) They threatened forced entry with a "dog handler". Imagine someone vulnerable getting this?

Time we took back our cities from the presumption “cars come first”

@AgentP22 @MaryDevlin21 Why this must be the funniest tweet I’ve read this year
Whoever has created this spoof character is a comic genius!
Why only today I heard two people in the bank gabbing about that very Hogmanay Show!

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@ron_mould @quadrafenians @GerryHassan And me too!

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

“Celebrating” communities in poverty is only ever promoted by those who have never experienced poverty.
We will know Poverty is in retreat when the last FOOD BANK is closed & those who celebrate them are finally defenestrated

[Gerry Hassan @GerryHassan]

Tory Orwellian newspeak. Food banks are rebranded as "community pantries."

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@GerryHassan Bought it for £1.50 & saw them live @ The Apollo for the same price in ‘75
(Double the ticket face value of £0.75p)
They have become their own tribute act with more members than the Count Bassie Orchestra.
The Who “Sell Out” indeed !

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@walters11 Love that bit “living in the glens”
When we need you, we’ll call Chrissie

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@R_Demarco90 Fantastic !
George Whylie would be egging you on !
A fantastic contribution to the outrageous, to situationists everywhere and to art being as essential as air and water
Happy birthday !

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@Nigel_Farage @CouttsandCo Look pal
Nobody’s interested now
Leave the country
If not for your own sake for your family’s sake
They are at their wits end with your victimhood and whining

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@IngrameThomas @GerryHassan @SkyNews No wonder your wife and daughter bolted

[Archie Dempster @sublimate888]

@IngrameThomas Ha!
You seek engagement and then you slam the door
Tells me everything I need to know about you son
Absolutely everything
