@JohnCleese Eastbourne Borough Council does not have a councillor called Elaine Hamilton. Who makes up these stories and why do you believe them?

So when you can't get someone to understand you, when you are speaking normal English which they are unable to understand, then to ask for someone who can understand you is racist ?
Anyone who believes this has lost the power to think

Councillor apologises after asking council call handler to speak English as critics agree with her Eastbourne Borough Councillor Elaine Hamilton, in her 60s, called the council helpdesk and struggled to understand the operator. She politely said “I’m sorry but I can’t understand you, can I speak to someone who can speak English please?” The comment triggered a backlash with some social media users branding her racist. Hamilton has now issued a statement apologising and saying she regretted any offence caused. Critics including local residents and fellow councillors have agreed with her, arguing English should be the language used for all council services so ratepayers can be properly understood.

@Aiannucci @elonmusk believes civil war is inevitable- this country may never have been more united than it is now. Almost universal agreement that Elon is a total knobhead.

You have no idea what our wonderful country is really like and are, like the planet Mars, both toxic and empty.

@LeoKearse Why does the UK media, with a few exceptions, just parrot the government?

Thank you Gareth for giving us what we needed most: something to unite behind and be proud of. But thank you most of all for the values you have upheld and instilled in your team. For showing kindness, humility and respect to all, a leader in every sense. #GarethSouthgate

I stumbled across a Vegan Magnum (with almonds) in the freezer, so I ate it for my lunch. And now I feel an overwhelming sense of disappointment knowing that my day has peaked. #beMoreGrateful

Who can resist this polite request for a cycle path along eastbourne’s seafront? Enjoy the video and feel free to share , share , share.
Bespoke Cycle Group@BespokeEB
The lack of a seafront cycle route in #Eastbourne and dithering by @Eastsussexcc has been an issue for years and years. Most other seaside towns provide a safe route and they work well. Bespoke now using 🎼 🎹 🎤 🎭 to support the case. - Please RT

20mph speed limits in. Areas where people live, learn, shop and play make absolute sense. @EastSussexCC , @esccroads #20sPlenty
Will Hayward@WillHayCardiff
People are crapping all over the plans to change Wales' speed limits to 20mph instead of 30mph. There is a lot of noise about it but having looked at the evidence I believe this is actually a really good bit of policy. Let me explain. [Thread]

@RishiSunak @Telegraph Not so much an anti-car lobby @RishiSunak - more a pro-human lobby. Is that too much to ask? To put humans before cars?

Talking about freedom, sat in Margaret Thatcher’s old Rover.
Earlier I spoke to @Telegraph about how important cars are for families to live their lives. It’s something anti-motorist Labour just don’t seem to get.
And it’s why I’m reviewing anti-car schemes across the country.

It's
6yrs since we started seeing mass proliferation of scam ads
5yrs since I sued Facebook.
4yrs since they settled (for £3m to charity).
4yrs since the online harms white paper (still not law)
18mth since they agreed to inc scams in it.
1 day since first deep fake scam ad I've seen
Yet we've still
NO proper laws
NO proper regulation
NO proper fines for big tech who get paid to publish these criminal ads
NO mention of when things will improve
NO sign of the promised online advertising programme to help
It isn't good enough. Vulnerable people are being scammed, lifes are being ruined, and people are totally unprotected.

"The only demonstrations that really work are disruptive ones."
@GaryLineker believes disruptive climate protesters could be considered "heroes" if the world takes action against the climate crisis, and says "it's very worrying" people are being arrested for protesting.
