Seven minutes? On the viccy line? Is this some kind of cruel joke?

Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.

Climate protestors Phoebe Plummer & Anna Holland: jailed for 2 years & 20 months respectively after throwing soup at art covered in protective glass.
Huw Edwards: convicted of making indecent images of children & got a suspended sentence.
Sentencing laws aren’t fit for purpose.

We pay William £23m a year from Duchy profits. The duchy refuses to pay corporation or capital gains tax. William refuses to say what income tax he’s paying. This donation is the equivalent of someone of £30k donating £3. Yet they want you all to believe they’re generous.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have donated £3,500 to a south London food bank after thieves raided its warehouse. The money will cover the costs of the goods stolen and the damage caused.

Oxford and Cambridge universities should only be allowed to enter one team each in University Challenge rather than a team for every single fucking college they've got

'Had this been a private development on Bayswater Road... I'm sure they'd have been put in the Savoy or the Hilton within a few hours of the fire.'
@jeremycorbyn says the Grenfell disaster was 'contempt for the poorest, most vulnerable people' in London.

MPs on both sides of the House of Commons leave before the PM statement on the Grenfell Inquiry findings:
They didn’t care before the fire.
They don’t care after the fire.
Each MP who left should be made to face the Grenfell survivors in person.

Surge pricing is legalised ticket touting.
Appalling profiteering today @TicketmasterUK

“Surge pricing” is ticketmaster behaving no better than the touts they say they are protecting us from.
Exploiting supply and demand to charge well well above face value.

Politicians are lobbied by ticket companies, it's why you'll often see them at big gigs/sports events.
The biggest "legal" seller of tickets was able to act as a tout today, with total immunity from the law.
It's not free market capitalism, it's touting, protected.

Ticket companies know what they are doing. The "buzz" of getting into the buy phase after 4 hrs is the same dopamine hit gamblers experience.
At that stage, £150 to £400 price rise no longer is a choice, it's an impulse buy.
An unethical/should be illegal business practice.

How can you put ‘face value’ standing tickets up from £150 to £355 due to being in demand. You are the biggest scum bag touts that there are. Diabolical. #Ticketmaster

Funny that, with all the talk of tickets only to be sold at face value etc that #ticketmaster themselves are actually the biggest touts #oasis #Oasis25
