@Arcfunmi Good job there is no wind in Holland, this looks really dangerous. Much better to use a double hoist.

I genuinely think @virginmedia have literally the worst customer service I've ever encountered. Their website is awful. Their agents are terrible. Their phone system is crap. It seems purposely designed to frustrate

@daniellismore Well said, though most politicians are like that these days.
English

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.
I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.
Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?
Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.
Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.
None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.
You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.
Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.
Think. Before they take everything.

@WORLDDEBT @peakaustria And what will they do until they die?
Can't go outside, only watch the sunset on their periscopes??

@PassPixi The pass pixi makes a difference to the driver's that have good enough eyesight. Strangely, wearing tattoo sleeves in the summer is just as effective.

What do you think will have the biggest impact on driver behaviour… the high-vis and helmet or the warning they’re being filmed? passpixi.com #cycling

@RosieP4 @CommunityPlann1 Because once they get 'planning' developers build for profit not to satisfy a need - for starter homes, social housing, bungalows etc.
English

@CommunityPlann1 And "Veering off plan?", which demonstrates that Government will neither achieve economic growth through planning reform, nor build 1.5m homes:

Our three @Communityplann1 reports in one thread...
"Homes for Everyone" - sent by 12,000 people to their MP - sets out how we can have a greenfield last approach to solving the housing crisis:

@IntEngineering You can't get a mortgage if you want to buy a house with this kind of roof insulation in the UK.

@LeighDurrant5 @HedgehogCabin Heaps of shells under my shed when I had to lift the floor.
English

@HedgehogCabin Though I have witnessed mice eat snails and found piles of shells under planters
English

Often I hear people say, "I know I have hedgehogs because I see empty snail shells."
Hedgehogs don't eat slugs and snails.
They eat caterpillars, beetles, larvae, grubs and a few insects.
Slugs and snails carry lungworm, deadly to all mammals, including hedgehogs.
If you see empty snail shells they are the leftovers from amphibians, or some birds - like this thrush here, using my exposed cherry tree root to winkle the snail out of its shell.

@PeopleUnionUK @money_rebellion Spot on. Energy costs feed-in to all our spending and makes our industry uncompetitive. Why is this allowed?
