  • Having to try and not get very frustrated with people that can’t see correlation between cases and deaths being offset by 4-6 weeks. Arguing that deaths are low whilst cases are high is weird and weird.

  • Councils are likely having to spend money from their own budgets (orignal LTN funding was from central government) to clean and fix these during a pandemic and a rise in child hunger. If you don’t like it use legal & democratic methods. Your inconvenience is not oppression. https://t.co/VUAQ3SUGEN

  • If Woolworths now do open a store, even though it was a hoax, then was it a hoax?
  • DPD, oh no we missed you. Er no you didn’t I was here. You decided to skip delivery. Just don’t pretend to offer a specific service in the first place, it’s just weird and counter intuitive when you clearly don’t provide that service.
  • So the graffiti style & placement appears quite different in the usage of ‘scum’ & ‘Gary Sambrook eats big dinners’ as such we are still not clear if this is true. Unless he’s arguing that the left accuses people of eating big dinners as a bullying tactic https://t.co/EYkLv2A8jW

  • I’ve seen so many emergency vehicles held up by traffic for years and years in London, even sometimes cars and vans that refuse to move to the side. But only now do drivers seem to care because it’s the only sliver of an argument they have left. Do one. Make space.

  • This is why social contracts are important, I believe it’s important that some MPs expenses are covered for doing a very important job. But if you use that privilege to harm others you break the contract and the rest of us rightfully question things. https://t.co/z8LzHfzXiC

  • Right I've just donated to @trusselltrust to support their work to #StopUKHunger, as no one should have to go hungry. This Tory government should be doing more, but they don't care. So we have to make up the difference. https://t.co/ZgziouWSxB
