HT Luton 1-1 Luton Leeds got better as the half went on but a draw is not good enough today. Burnley are drawing with Coventry currently - Leeds can't miss any potential opportunity. #lufc leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-un…

@JohnOleske @mcuban Nice Animal House reference, possibly a bit too nuanced for the MAGA fanboys.

@mcuban This is “Mexico pays for the wall.” There is no nuanced tariff policy, no clever diplomatic strategy. “Bigotry, lies & demagoguery is no way to go through life,” but Bluto’s still on campus. Maybe pivot from “whatever does this candidate mean” to “Bluto is gross & dangerous?”

In dystopian Britain we now have a child Sly News reporter warning citizens against retweeting because they could find themselves prosecuted. “It’s not an idle threat either,” he insists. The MSM is now a propaganda arm of the state attempting to shut down free speech. RESIST!

ITV News at Ten have badly let down Rageh Omar. There’s something clearly wrong with him but they’ve let him struggle on to the end #RagehOmar#NewsatTen

Same Old Labour. This really is low even for Labour. Labour's Mayoral candidate has been caught abusing her position at my local hospital. Not only that Sir Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting did not even have the decency to inform me they were coming to Ashfield as per Parliamentary rules. Gutter politics. order-order.com/2024/04/22/lab…

CALL TO ACTIVISM
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism·
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read: “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.” -Nate White

@AskVirginMoney I was having difficulty in accessing the Mobile Banking App on a replacement phone. I have managed to resolve now, so currently require no further assistance. Thank you for your “X” response….it’s disappointing that the telephone helpline was so disinterested

@AskVirginMoney M Plus Current and M Plus Saver. I managed to find a contact number but had a really unfortunate (lack of) customer care experience with someone who clearly wasn’t interested.

@AskVirginMoney Hi, how can I speak to a human being, please? The Virgin Money App suggests it’s possible but trying to follow the instructions just results in a never ending “loop”.
