@AvantiHelpTeam Hello. I am on the 1717 service from Birmingham new Street to London Euston. In first class but doesn’t seem to be any 1st class service at the moment and have now passed Coventry. Just wondered if you can clarify what’s happening if anything. :-)

@Doug_Paulley @MiffedSkatz I think, but not sure, did it was connected to a window of opportunity the qualities commission opened to do no win, no fee on lack of access to public transport?

@IAmVipodcasting @MiffedSkatz Yes I remember that. I mean, I do that anyway, using my own camera, But he very rarely followed through

Chris Fry has been struck off for dishonesty by the solicitors disciplinary tribunal.

@johnpringdns @Doug_Paulley @flickhwilliams @flowergirl_lon @sra_solicitors I know someone who he went after for raising early concerns during lockdown. They had to get a solicitor to represent them. Didn’t stop him coming back over that year. Tried to demand £7000.

Solicitor who betrayed disabled people after they sought discrimination justice is struck off @Doug_Paulley @FlickHWilliams @flowergirl_lon @sra_solicitors disabilitynewsservice.com/solicitor-who-…

@MiffedSkatz @Doug_Paulley And from memory, there was something around him sending people cameras so they could capture access refusals relating to transport.

@Doug_Paulley Im so sorry for those involved. Will they have redress/leave to appeal following this ruling? Hope so.

@flowergirl_lon This was a long time coming. He’s the most fearful person I’ve ever come across.

Chris Fry has finally been struck off. IYKYK

I’ve lost complete confidence in purchasing anything from you currently and would still like my money refunded back to my card in order that my confidence with your company might be restored. I look forward to your response.

They told me I must have a gift card instead, and I felt very pressured to accept this. I contacted your chat online and they said that if I’d have purchased these online, I would’ve been refunded back to my card.

@Nike hello. I recently purchased a pair of trainers from your store in Bromley London. After a couple of months of where the trainers have significantly deteriorated and this was fully acknowledged by the staff install. However, they refused to refund the money back to my card.

@EE I need to complain about your service. I’ve started complaints over the last year when issues started and at various other times, but, you keep closing the current complaints without resolving them.

@supertanskiii Not all Christians thankfully. :-)

Far right pricks say they’re Christians, but if a foreign woman pregnant with the son of god was looking for room at the inn, they’d tell her to “go home” and try to burn down the inn whilst chanting “Tommmy Tommy Robinson”. That’s if she didn’t drown in the channel first.

@saj_anderson @GWRHelp Pathetic response from the rail company. Not least it being way too late.

@DavidBrockett @CarynYoung19 Incredibly difficult to get money out of them too, apparently.

The older I become, the more uneasy I get about Children in Need. Disabled kids shouldn’t be relying on a once a year pity party to gain access to services or live the life they deserve. Surely we’re past the point of disability being seen as either tragic or inspirational 🤷‍♂️

@NFBUK The intended direction around this is the opposite though. Government has said they are minded to legalise privately owned scooters.

The e-scooter experiment has failed - it’s time to ban these death traps - LBC lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/…

@AskNationwide not feeling the need to respond to member concerns about your moving services to Mumbai or the way you are treating your employees then? Not great for a building society/company who advertises itself as better than everyone else.

Hello @AskNationwide Why were we, your members, not consulted on your decision to outsource your chat service from the UK to India? Brazen move for a bank which claims to be UK based and mocks other banks for allegedly poor behaviour. @MoneySavingExp

@KateVasey I’d love to be an ally but, my screen reader can’t read the text in the image you posted. It could if you used the X image description option. Thanks!

@MattHarrisonPro @SLCouncils @guidedogs @RNIB Any thoughts on the PIP consultation? I know we have a new government but this would be the time to be speaking about it, wouldn’t it? Volunteer site loss Council member for Birmingham and Black Country here by the way. 😜

@natalyadell @BlondeHistorian Terrible phrase. Maybe Labour will change the language and the narrative. And kill the PIP Consultation in its current form while they are at it. One can hope.

Everyone I know who is deemed "economically inactive" does things that are not valued whether that's acts of kindness to others, caring, unofficial volunteering, activism or other stuff I've not named. I agree it's a foul term that needs to be put in the BIN!
