Stopping benefits for young people won't magically make them get a job if there are no jobs available.

@patmcfaddenmp Pat, maybe stop paying them not to have a job? Had you ever thought of that?

@JNK913 @DavidSm06579669 @ClarkeMicah @thesoubr True, although too often poor quality cars and drivers?
English
@RealismHelps @DavidSm06579669 @ClarkeMicah @thesoubr I am not a driver, but there is no doubting the convenience of transport in one's own car. Even taxis cannot do the job well ("he'll be there in 45 minutes"). The Uber revolution may improve matters, since their response time is usually much faster.

.@thesoubr. 1/2 Somebody has to hate them, or they would take over the world. People who lived outside big cities were quite able to travel before cars were invented, especially once the country was covered in the dense net of railways which has since been moronically ripped up.
JoBo@thesoubr
@SlipdeGarcon @ClarkeMicah Mr Hitchens is entitled to his views (of course.) But it is genuinely strange to me how anyone could HATE cars. It seems to me that a car critic/skeptic should also acknowledge their obvious benefits e.g. individual freedom of travel (esp. for folks living outside of big cities.)

@RealismHelps @Timoldland @SawyerMerritt @rhensing Me thinks you are the one that’s a bit dated 😶 you’re possibly thinking of the original model , not the new 2026 saloon model that’s only just been released

Why are so many legacy car companies unveiling such ugly EV designs in recent months.....

@AnnieEaves Hear, hear! But even when I've preloaded details, DL scan etc.....we go through it again at the desk.......manned by one person when an international flight arrives! Every bloody time.......

Can someone please revolutionise holiday car hire so you sort all the documents out online beforehand and then simply use a code to pick up the keys.

@RealismHelps @tomfgoodwin Let me just check my drawer for that particular t-shirt.

I don’t like saying this. But especially in America , I do think most offices are massively over staffed.
The number of people tripping over each other , just attending meetings, just doing busy stuff all day long is insane. People create work, and delay decision making.
And then , about one person in 15 , actually needs a huge team but someone has nobody
I don’t think the solution is to fire people, I just think companies should be doing more.
Take any large company and it’s quite surprising how little stuff they actually put out that matters. Think of all the things they could be doing

@phughes76340646 Invent a mental health illness and get a Motability replacement?

@Timoldland @SawyerMerritt @rhensing Hmm. Nicer to drive than it is to look at? A bit dated now as well?
English
@SawyerMerritt @rhensing I think you’re wrong about the i3. That’s a great looking car.

@markchristie @tomfgoodwin True, but sometimes the arcane nature of financial & employment laws make issues that non-experts can't understand. Too often managers come to (e.g.) HR when they've already fcuked up the issue!
English
@RealismHelps @tomfgoodwin Yep. Certainly do. It’s only when service (not a dirty word) departments start running things and generating busywork that things start going south.
English
@markchristie @tomfgoodwin Sometimes - but (in the case of HR for example) the lunatic & predatory employment laws of the UK require some expertise to navigate safely through and with Tribunals awarding '000s against employers for tiny admin issues, they pay for themselves?
English
@tomfgoodwin At some point, companies become large enough that the ‘service’ departments (HR, IT, finance) start imposing process on the people who make the money. Feeding the resulting busywork cycle becomes the company’s function.
English
@Ryan01020304061 @SimonHarrisMBD Is that still true though? Many of the bigger clubs have ground capacity many times less than the ticket demand and season ticket waiting lists running to decades. Am I less of a fan because I'm in a queue?
English
@SimonHarrisMBD Someone that makes the effort to go to games will always be more than a fan that someone that doesn’t I’m afraid. I don’t make the rules.

I keep seeing comments slagging off Arsenal’s worldwide fans like they are somehow not worthy compared to ‘Bob’ who used to stand on the North Bank after slipping the doorman sixpence. Winning the league costs a bomb and worldwide merch sales and TV cash make it possible.
English
@CR2SE25 So Dowman, Timber & Odegaard are unlikeable - please share in what way? Fan TV and Vloggers exist across every club, most of whom have their own 'anthem'. Jealous Palace fan with one trophy ever?
English
I'm gonna say this once lol.
It is not racist to not like Arsenal, or their fans.
To me, they represent the direction football is going in on and off the pitch. Unlikable players. Vloggers outside stadiums, begging for selfies, forced reactions, fan tv, 'north London forever'

@N5toN7r @CR2SE25 It really annoys me if there IS a racial element to this , because I've seen two types of distinct celebrations if u can call it that. One is your standard singing & chanting and the rest is people dancing about to music. The latter I wonder , is what's triggering ppl because...

1976, eh...🤔
20% excess deaths, huge spike in A&E visits, colossal animal deaths, huge eco damage that lasts to this day, £2.7bn (adj inf) of crops failing - resulting in 12% food price, millions£££ of repairs for road & rail, businesses closed & job losses++.
Jen k 🇬🇧🏴@Jenny_1884
It was hotter in 1976 than it is now so these people spewing this nonsense need to sit this one out. Who remembers the heatwave in 1976? We had fun & lived to tell the tale

@MirabelTweets1 We could replace them with non-Muslims as we've done in the past..............

Dear racists of Britain & America,
If all the Muslims were to disappear from your countries, your lives would still be the same hot shit mess as they are now
You’re welcome

@Timothy37619215 @02pizazz Who would you like - vanilla nothings, socialist morons or communist eco-nutcases?

I’m part of alarm clock Britain . I get up at 6 including today . Worked 3 hours got £200 but I’d rather cut my nuts off with a spoon than vote reform . They voted against workers rights Labour brought in . Don’t be a turkey and vote against yourself .

@Timothy37619215 THere's more to voting, politics and government than 'self'................
English
@ClarkeMicah @trph2 Wrong. A proportion of bad drivers (&all other road users) will continue whilst the standard is set low and not scrutinised, whether driving, cycling or other transport .
English
.@trph2. As long as mass private car ownership is the norm, a large share of drivers will becbad.A truly effective test would reject too many people.
Trph@trph2
@ClarkeMicah @PaulRiley166585 I may disagree re: cars, I think the problem is bad drivers. But that’s a really good idea about the wreckage

When it comes to climate change, people are as thick as pig shit or as selfish as f**k. Truth bomb!
Otherwise, they'd be trying to protect their childrens futures.
Since 30 plus years ago- denial, denial, denial.

@JennaFights4You What are you on about? There's no such thing as 'cis'.
English
If you see a cisBlack person on the street and change lanes, but wouldn't do the same when seeing a non passing transBlack, you're a transphobe which is worse than being a racist.

@MothinAli They're the party of the terminally stupid and easily-led.
