Two-tier Gordon

Just in case anyone was wondering... there's nothing political in my twitter name. I stole it from the loco builder.

@teeeyeaye_ @ceewilldotcom Make friends with someone who plays electric guitar. They’ll have shitloads of them.

@ceewilldotcom that’s what i’m saying like who just HAS 9v batteries?!

My smoke detector battery is dead for the first time in my adult life. I went to change it and turns out it needs a 9v battery. Like…. Okay no wonder the stereotype exists

@GovSherrillNJ Lol sounds more like New Jersey resents hosting those games.

New Jersey is ready and excited to host eight FIFA World Cup matches this summer – including the World Cup Final. Since I took office, my Administration has been working to prepare for the biggest sporting event our state has ever seen – and today, NJ TRANSIT released their Mobility Plan to move 40,000 fans to and from each match safely and efficiently. In the FIFA World Cup agreement that my Administration inherited, FIFA put zero dollars towards transporting World Cup fans. It also eliminated parking at MetLife Stadium, putting the burden of transporting four times more matchday riders than typical for an event at the stadium on NJ TRANSIT. This agreement will cost NJ TRANSIT at least $48 million, while FIFA is positioned to make $11 billion during the World Cup. As I have said repeatedly, FIFA should cover the cost of transporting its fans. If it won’t, we will not be subsidizing World Cup ticket holders on the backs of New Jerseyans who rely on NJ TRANSIT every day.

@AdamCrafton_ Okay but is $150 per person what it actually costs to run that service? Must be the most expensive per-mile service in the entire world.

On this, no reduced fares for seniors, kids or disabled passengers on either service. The choice is clear: the cost is being transferred to football fans, instead of being taken on by local public services/taxpayer. Highly controversial call which will divide opinion.

@DrRitaDed Great way to have a lot of people earning 179999.99.

Here's an idea. Tax the rich. Anyone earning over 180k per year should get taxed at 100% No one needs to be earning that much. Redistribute the wealth.

@VerdeSelvans Of course it would help if instagram didn’t cache Fucking Everything while also force-refreshing your feed every few minutes so that post you were about to click on will never be seen again.

the number of people defending Apple is honestly crazy to me. some are even saying this isn’t a big issue… like, what?? sure you can uninstall and reinstall an app to clear the cache, but that’s just not practical. it would be way easier if there was a simple “clear cache” option like on Android 🤦🏻‍♂️

@PolitlcsUK Using what, though?

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says the UK will lead a defensive military mission with France to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz

@MarkFreemanML @Acyn The do seem to have a bee in their collective bonnet about us. Much like ruZZia in fact, although I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

@Acyn I read an article last week claiming the UK is now MAGA's #1 hate object. That seemed unlikely, but is supported by a lot of the garbage I see floating in the X sewer today. I wonder why, though? MAGA leaders desperate to divert the eyes of their sheeple from the Iran debacle?

Reporter: Do you think it’s appropriate for King George to meet with members? Boebert: I wouldn’t meet with him. Reporter: Why not? Boebert: 1776. I have nothing to do with King George or the royal family. I am an American first.

@RobertHunterFL @KyivIndependent Fuck off vatnik twatwaffle.

@KyivIndependent So when Russia wins the war, and the UK needs oil, Putin can tell then to get stuffed. The UK is finished.

⚡️UK transfers about 1 billion dollars in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. The United Kingdom has transferred 752 million pounds (about 1 billion dollars) in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, Ukraine's Finance Ministry said April 15. kyivindependent.com/uk-transfers-1…

@_ROUNDTHEBEND__ Because Spain is run by a crank.

I might sound daft but how come migrants can get legal status in Spain but we’re only allowed 90 days and get fined if we over stay could I throw my passport away and apply to live there?

@PopBase Dee-four-vee-dee.

d4vd has been arrested for the murder of Celeste Rivas. He was arrested by the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide division and is being held without bail.

@AufsVires @Richard_Harambe Oh shut the fuck up you retarded stoat buggerer.

@Richard_Harambe Poor brit cant even say the R word online cause they'd be going to jail 😭

The best part of bullying Brits online is if they reply back they get arrested

@PaulChr30748044 @EUdelegationUK @RoxanaMinzatu @EUErasmusPlus @UKMisBrussels Taxes.

@EUdelegationUK @RoxanaMinzatu @EUErasmusPlus @UKMisBrussels Sorry but just out of curiosity where is the British Government getting £570 million from. I mean we can not even fund our military let alone give that sort of money away to the EU

The EU and the UK have completed the final step towards the UK’s association to Erasmus+ in 2027. From 1 Jan 2027, students, apprentices & educators will reconnect, boosting mobility, skills & cooperation. Welcome back, UK!

@MarieTidball Because all you’ve done is put them into houses, still at the taxpayers’ expense. And frankly I hope every one of those hotels goes out of business.

You won't hear a peep about this from Farage, Tice or Jenrick. Under the Tories, up to 400 hotels were being used to house asylum seekers. With Labour, there are now just 185, with 11 more hotels re-opening to the public, saving the taxpayer £65 million a year.

@paulmasonnews If it’s free why is it ruinously expensive?

Wind turbines give you free energy and reduce your dependence on petroleum-states

@GovSherrillNJ New Jersey should never host another international sporting event then.

To Recap: Our Administration inherited an agreement where FIFA contributes $0 toward transportation for the World Cup – while also eliminating parking at MetLife Stadium. Except for premium parking, where FIFA is charging over $200 per spot. As a result, NJ TRANSIT must carry four times the usual ridership for events at the venue, at a cost of $48 million. New Jerseyans shouldn’t be stuck with that bill while FIFA makes $11 billion in profits.

@MonsieurPiddly @EmbSpainUK @ukinspain Wrong.

@EmbSpainUK @ukinspain And soon we'll be back in the EU 🤩

🇬🇧🇪🇺 Big step forward!! The UK will rejoin Erasmus+ in 2027. Thousands of UK students will once again head to Spain 🇪🇸 and across Europe to study, work and connect—building skills, friendships and shared futures. People-to-people ties are back at the heart of our partnership🤝

Reminder: the whole time the UK was in the EU, our taxes were funding shit like this. Meanwhile our own country was going completely to fuck.

@PolitlcsUK Oh f*ck off.

🚨 NEW: The Green Party says the BBC is fuelling hostility towards asylum seekers for revealing they’re told to pose as gay “When they give so much prominence to the report, it ceases to be in the public interest… it gives a false impression of a system stacked against them”

@neheritagelib Imagine posting obvious ragebait when your posts aren’t monetised 🤔

I’m gonna bite In retrospect, the decision to imprison someone for felling that tree was insane. Pure driven by twee Captain Tom, Paddington melodrama

@RickHolder12 @david_hollas Our bills will never fall. The piddling reduction in the price cap was funded by taxation. Bills will rise continuously for the next twenty years or more.

@david_hollas The burning question (sorry couldn’t resist it) is when will we see a substantial reduction in our bills if wind and solar are the future. Also why has Miliband signed deals for SMRs as these seem against his net zero agenda!

Oxford University has done the maths on "drill baby drill" vs a fully renewable UK. Maximum North Sea extraction: saves households £16–£82/year. But ONLY if the government takes every penny of tax revenue and hands it back to households. If they don't, zero benefit. Full renewables: saves households up to £441/year. Recurring. Every year. Indefinitely. The North Sea runs out around 2040. Renewables don't. The analysis was done using January 2026 prices — before the Iran war sent oil to $116 a barrel. Even with cheap fossil fuels as the baseline, renewables win. This isn't ideology. It's arithmetic. Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford. March 2026.
