The trains from Dorking to London seem to be getting slower and s l o w e r and s l o w e r ... Will they start going backwards soon, so we can pop on the train to Horsham instead?

@8none1 @lan3y @awhitcroft I vividly remember you holding the release back until about midnight 'for fun' while I sat up waiting to do the tweet after flying home from a horrible sales sprint 🤣 Thanks for that!

It seems like only yesterday. Since this release we’ve lost Infinity and I raised a toast to him this week with Pat. Not a good picture, but one from the night before the release with Infinity & @tdlk looking at The Haunted Laptop.

If you think Boris Johnson’s decision to give Gavin Williamson a knighthood was outrageous, wait until you see who he’s put/putting in the Lords…

@you_bf_smith @BThroughParty Because the money payed goes to the government and the schools only get a fixed sum per attendee. The rest of the cash is squandered elsewhere.

@BThroughParty The parents of children attending private schools are already paying taxes for their children to be educated in state schools, as well as their school fees. Effectively they're paying twice. How does abolishing private schools help anything?

Neither Truss nor Sunak will solve any of the issues this country faces. RT if you agree.

@0Xl67 @ubuntu Depends how often one starts Firefox. Startup is not actually common in a browser. Confinement is a genuine benefit for the application you connect to the largest number of untrusted places.

Can you feel the love? We've been leveling up Firefox snap performance, and with the new 22.04 LTS, we're closer than ever. How is your experience like so far? 👉 bit.ly/39XyXmO #ubuntu #snapcraft #firefox

@henrymance Jesus, how did he become anything at all let alone PM with his inability to _think_. Does he not realise we see he is only saying that because he is paid by the office owners ...

@theOhmlyTpot @RhonddaBryant Yes it is what matters. The entire basis of our democracy is the leaders we elect promising things and delivering them. If they lie and cheat at will they cannot any longer be trusted for any of their promises. This is utterly fundamental.

@grhmc @zx2c4 To @awhitcroft 's credit, though, my email was mostly a, "looks like some of you have it and others don't; what's up? who's right?" and then Andy made a compelling argument for enabling it.

Good God. I had to read this twice to be sure I’d understood. The national disgrace of letting base Faragist racism define our asylum policy has never looked more disgusting. And the whole world is watching. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
