@juneslater17 Turned out they weren’t served because they’d parked in the loading bay and refused to move. He was in the right, doing his job, yet people on here plaster his face all over because some numpty creates a false narrative.

Why does it cost upwards of £1K a week for someone to live in a care home? This is an extortionate amount of money. Why is this never investigated? Considering care workers earn a relatively low wage then there’s a lot of people out there making a lot of money out of people suffering.

Banksy…globally renowned artist..the anarchist artist, anti establishment, thorn in the side of authority, the Batman style hero of the modern art world. Well I call bullshit..Not because of the what so much, not because of the content but because of the how. There is not a chance in a million years that his latest piece of art in central London could have been pulled off without the full permission and pre knowledge of the authorities. In this video I explain why..

Can we just stop saying that Boris partied while people died. Boris received some birthday cake in a meeting room with 3 other people who he worked with daily. That is NOT A PARTY and quite frankly, I am sick of hearing this crap.

@croucher_tiger @paulabearthe2nd Sue Grey wasn’t in charge of no 10 staff during the Boris lockdown party era. As for Starmer at Redhills, nothing looked further from a party.

@micmarierose @paulabearthe2nd Is this from the Sue Grey report? Parties held by civil servants who we’re managing by…. Sue Grey The Sue Grey who was promised a top Labour job, before writing a report to bring down the most popular Tory leader since Thatcher What about Starmer’s very obvious party

@stuzi_pants Alison seems to think working class people are an homogeneous group. Angela had a very hard childhood, which isn’t because she lived in a council house. Understanding why some children underachieve is exactly what makes her an appropriate appointment.

Here’s Telegraph headbanger Allison Pearson describing her outright revulsion at Angela Rayner daring to carve out a career for herself having left school pregnant with just an NVQ No Allison. That’s called drive and ambition despite being 3 0 down

🚨Yesterday, Starmer removed all hereditary peers from the House of Lords It was the end of the 700-year-old tradition. The office of the Lord Great Chamberlain dates back to 1138, but this has also been eradicated. Labour loves doing away with tradition!

@micmarierose @paulabearthe2nd Those parties were held by the civil servants. The same bunch who are still working now under a new government. If you seriously think the PM was aware of this bunch vomiting on the carpet, I don't know what more to say...

@Brunte84 Isn’t the owner a Reform supporter? I wouldn’t ban anyone, whatever their political position unless they were behaving badly. We had a pub in my hometown that decided to put a big Reforn flag behind the bar. They lost custom and it’s no longer there.

@paulabearthe2nd For someone claiming to be passionate about politics, you don’t debate well. Resorting to personal insults is very poor and usually a sign that you have nothing intelligent to contribute.

@realMaalouf If that footage is real, then I agree. I can’t think why they need to kick someone in the head while he’s on the floor. Looks like they’re trying to turn him over and maybe worried about explosives, but looks excessive.

The Muslim community in the UK is outraged at the way police detained the 45-year-old Muslim immigrant who stabbed two Jewish people in London this morning. According to them, officers used excessive force in a ‘dehumanizing’ and ‘Islamophobic’ manner.

@paulabearthe2nd @micmarierose As people tend to say with this argument, "it was his home", so how did he not know what was happening in his "home" Do you thing this would have happened under May?

@LucyTCWife Have a word with the ex Tory lot now in Reform. They ran it into the ground, but of course this is the narrative that Reform want in order to bring the public onside with their privatisation plans.

Need to take my daughter to the Drs, granted it’s not life threatening but important nonetheless. Managed to get a telephone appointment for Thursday 14th May. Tell me again how well the NHS is working and how well Labour are doing at bringing down wait lists? I cat even remember the last time she needed to go to the Drs! In fact the last time she saw a Dr was privately.

The more science advances, the more difficult it becomes to be an atheist. Look at this: the most detailed image ever of a single human cell. Your body contains 37 trillion of them. This is divine engineering. God’s masterpiece.

@TypeForVictory I see you work in finance. Your attitude to drinking at work might explain the banking crisis. Most professions do not allow drinking at work. I’ve attended many conferences and the only drink served is after the business is complete.

@afneil When I was a waitress, tips were great, but you should be on a living wage from your employer. I had an international clientele, so Americans were great, French, no chance of a tip, British usually okay. I treated everyone the same. I wouldn’t dream of complaining about a tip.

This true story has generated a lot of untrue responses from the usual know-nothing Twitter pontificators. So here’s the full story. It’s 2013, I hosted a dinner for US contacts and journos in NYC in a rather fancy, expensive restaurant owned by a friend. It was a thank you. Not on expenses. I’m forking out — happily. Good people. A great fun dinner but the bill came to circa $1,000. Gulp. I paid by card and slipped the waiter, a young aspiring actor (as they tend to be in NY), $150 cash. I thought that was quite generous. Especially $150 in 2013 prices. More like $200+ today. Anyway he quickly returned and asked loudly and aggressively if there was a problem. No, I said. All good. Well, he said the tip was ‘bit light’. By now the whole table was looking at me and him. I panicked and bunged him more dollars. He departed without a word of thanks. On the way home my partner saw I was fuming with the embarrassment, almost humiliation. Call the owner, she said. I did. I didn’t ask him to fire the waiter but said it was an embarrassing/humiliating experience in front of colleagues and I doubt I’d go back to his restaurant. Perhaps he could have a word. I learned later he fired him because he had something of a trackrecord in this matter. I lost no sleep over that even if it wasn’t my aim. Ever since I’ve taken no nonsense from aggressive NY waiters. I’m from Paisley and can give as good if not better than I get. One waiter who subsequently complained about his 20%(!) tip found it cut to 10%. Tips are war in NY restaurants. Stand up for yourself. Don’t be mean but don’t fall over in embarrassent when they behave badly. And please don’t import this culture from USA to dear old Blighty. End of.
