@benonwine #BoycottWaitrose

SACKED after 17 years… for stopping a thief. A Waitrose worker in Clapham Junction has lost his job after intervening to stop someone stealing Easter eggs. Walker Smith, 54, had given 17 years of service only to be shown the door for trying to do the right thing. No warning. No loyalty. Just gone. What message does that send to staff and to every other would be shoplifter wanting an easy target. Do your job… but don’t actually protect the business. Waitrose have ABSOLUTELY no loyalty to their staff they are quite happy to dispense of Loyal partners like yesterdays rubbish.

@benonwine @sharrond62 The same #Waitrose that did this to a man with Autism??? We should all be boycotting all stores that protect criminals over their employees & customers No doubt they'll mention some legal mumbo-jumbo to make themselves look good & not held liable if their staff got hurt

@benonwine Shameless. People need to convey their discontent by boycotting @waitrose Disgraceful behaviour!

Quick facts: This went down at their Clapham Junction store. Smith, 54, grabbed the thief's arm to halt the theft standard citizen's arrest move under UK law (Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 allows reasonable force). Waitrose policy? Zero-tolerance for staff intervening physically. They call it a health and safety breach. No prior warning, straight to dismissal. Sends a wild signal: Staff, stand back while stock vanishes. Shoplifters, supermarkets are soft targets UK retail theft hit £1.9B last year (BRC data), up 27%. Loyalty? 17 years tossed like yesterday's trash.

July 1987, Moscow, USSR — Trump, 41 years old, flies to Moscow at the invitation of Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Dubinin. Upon returning from Moscow, the bankrupt Trump suddenly receives loans from 16 banks and, without negotiation. 1/n

@TalbertSwan What a stupid, sycophantic idiot she is.

Paula White-Cain didn’t just cross a line, she obliterated it. To compare Donald Trump to Jesus Christ is not just bad theology, it’s blasphemy wrapped in political propaganda. It’s heresy. Jesus said, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Trump deports Black and brown immigrants and cages children at the border. Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” Trump protects and surrounds himself with men tied to child exploitation, shielding rich and powerful pedophiles while the vulnerable suffer. Jesus healed the sick. Trump strips healthcare from them. Jesus fed the hungry. Trump cuts SNAP benefits and calls it policy. Jesus stood with “the least of these.” Trump neglects, demonizes, and exploits them. Jesus was a brown-skinned man from the region of Northeast Africa. Trump has a documented history of degrading Black people from that region, calling them “garbage,” and calling their countries “sh*tholes.” This is a mockery of Christianity and in affront to the Gospel. This is what you call idolatry, the elevation of a corrupt political figure to messianic status. Every preacher who sat there and nodded, every “spiritual leader” who clapped, every so called Christian who defends this madness, you are not defending Christ, you are betraying Him. You cannot preach Jesus and promote Trump as His equivalent. You cannot serve God and bow to Caesar. This is heresy. This is hypocrisy. This is a dangerous distortion of the Gospel.

@OliLondonTV I’ve never heard of her, let alone recognise her.

Actress Laura Benanti says she’s shocked that not a single person recognized her on a plane. “Not a single one of them recognized me and I could not tolerate that obviously.”

Not an April fool, but the last snowdrop to flower here, a very late form of Galanthus ikariae. #fairviewyearround

Caltha ‘Moonlight’, a cross between Caltha leptosepala and C.palustris var. palustris (C.polypetala) from Rumbling Bridge Nursery in Kinross. I would love to grow the orange/red flowered C.palustris var. barthei again, does anyone grow it. #fairviewyearround

@BladeoftheS @WstLondonGarden How come he’s a Lord if he’s French?

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

The colony of Erythronium revolutum in the woodland borders, mostly from the prolifically seeding Knightshayes strain. Seedlings are now appearing in the steps. The darker forms tend to bulk up more slowly. #fairviewyearround
