Been a while. Twitter's not my platform of choice these days for... reasons, but here's a pic of some #lightning - it's not spelled #lightening - from Monday.

@Keywork26 It’s just a form of Whataboutism. Those people simply can’t be bothered to wear a mask and are trying to justify their laziness and selfishness.
@Lesism Have you scrutinised your definition of ‘happy’?
I’m not saying your definition and aspiration is incorrect, but it may help to check it out by approaching it objectively. It’s easy to confuse “I’m not happy” with “I’m not what society tells me ‘happy’ means” ❤️
@JHW131979@netnotblanket@afneil By “right of centre”, I think they mean “not going to hold the right to account as much”. Jeez, even the BBC doesn’t hold the right to account!
@wet01snow @GlosPolSpecOps There was talk some years ago of the NSL being 40mph on any road without centre lines. Implementation would have invilved a bit of line painting in some areas but in my opinion it would have been worth it. Too many people see speed limits as targets.
@GlosPolSpecOps I agree 100%. However, have you ever considered the benefits of a widely publicised (that’s the important bit!) scheme whereby law-abiding motorists can submit to the police, dash cam footage of other road users trying to intimidate them into speeding? This is a big problem.
@MartinSLewis Asking the public at large to make a personal choice based on the greater good is never going to work. That ideal got tossed out in 1979 and I honestly can’t ever see us getting it back 🙁
@Lord_Sugar People who work (even partly, like me) from home are generally happier doing so. The problem is, when the likes of Sugar see a happy employee, they see an employee who’s not being screwed quite hard enough.
I was trying to think of a witty way to express the fact the @ITVSport is shite at live broadcasts, but I can't so I'll just put it bluntly. #FRASUI#EURO2020
