Russell Roberts

I've been on twitter a long time and wanted to give X a chance. However, the platform is turning into something I don't want to be involved in. So with some relief I'm saying goodbye, you may consider if you should be doing the same. Elon will only change when forced to.

@SellingAMirror This is a good example of how people think. They look at the mirror,the outside frame etc...no thought about what the mirror is reflecting. We are all guilty of it but shallow thinking leads us to unanticipated outcomes. Think about voting, relationships and much more.

@JamesBlunt When you try your best, but you don't succeed

Not easy being a scammer these days.

@marcwalby @whanganui61 @RobertLindsay The exact quote is “racist Ku Klux Klan and Nazi sympathiser” note the last word. His assessment of Trumps public abuse of disabled people, women and PoC lead him to that conclusion. There is no equivalent evidence based for Vance, no video or statements to back him up.

@russkr @whanganui61 @RobertLindsay Exactly, just look at David Lammys tweets about Trump being a member of the KKK and he's now foreign secretary.

How dare Vance,standing in a country so divided confused and angry comment on our country.Sort out your own back yard pal

It was a huge honour to Second the King's Speech in Parliament today 👑 I paid tribute to two fantastic women & political trailblazers who I'm privileged to count as friends, @HarrietHarman and @HackneyAbbott. Because of them I, and so many others like me, have a voice today 👇🏾

@whanganui61 @RobertLindsay Laughter from a partisan crowd who have no way, or desire, to assess if the statement is correct...but why let that stand in the way of an unfounded dig. A great example of why politicians are held in such low esteem by the wider population.

@RobertLindsay Vance is making. wise crack at the Labour Party's expense. It may not be in good taste or diplomatic etc etc depending on your point of view, but it was not a serious comment, as the laughter at the end attests.

@Crumbsuka @RobertLindsay Sure, he will be all over it and there will be no use of alternative facts in the process....like the UK being an Islamist state.

@RobertLindsay He will when he’s in power 😀

@implausibleblog 💯

Prisons were underfunded with just enough places to scrape by, till there weren't enough NHS was underfunded with just enough hospital beds to scrape by, till there weren't enough At some point, someone made the decision that having extra capacity is 'inefficient' and so public services have been running hot, without the ability to deliver and function properly when needed And the problem of running hot like this is that when the need arises - and it always does - we don't have the resources to meet them We need to fund public services properly, we also need to allow for capacity and fluctuations, so that even when we have a high number of patients in hospital, there is never a single patient in a hospital corridor, and emergency rooms can see patients within 30 minutes, not 12 hour waits If we, as one of the richest countries in the world cannot offer world leading public services, the problem we have is of greed. And I prefer a society that rewards entrepreneurs and business for their hard work, but also taxes appropriately to ensure that public services are never starved and that everyone has timely and proper access to the public services Raise the personal tax allowance for the lowest earners and increase taxes on the rich; not middle or high income, but the rich, those with £5m or £10m + We've got to do better as a nation 🙏

@JamesBlunt Bit of a Blunt outcome

That’s it folks. My relevance has finally reached zero. Goodbye.

@GermanEmbassy Respect to the German Embassy here in the UK, for a sense of humour and kindness towards a country that is not always as kind to them.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the G̶e̶r̶m̶a̶n̶s̶ English always win. All the best for the final on Sunday, England! #EURO2024

@fesshole Is this what the air traffic control is referring to when they use the "Heavy" call handle 3749 Heavy...only 1 away from 3750 poos

I'm a pilot for a big airline and I keep a record of all my international poos; date, time, coordinates, speed. It's called my log log and it's way more up to date than my flying logbook and the map looks amazing. Nobody knows

@Snibblar @drivelcast @fesshole Come on, you know what a poon is, a poon...why can't I say poon

@drivelcast @fesshole What is "spoon"?

I've just pulled out a nose hair that was about 2cm long. I feel like I've pulled half my brain out. It's the best thing that's happened to me all day

@StuWhiteMusic @implausibleblog There are so many booby traps laid by the current government for example current budgets based on further huge reductions in spending in 4 years time. It will take two terms before we see significant improvements. Sadly, I suspect they won't be given that opportunity.

@implausibleblog “This isn’t about the past…because on every last thing, using every last metric available, we made a stinking great Horlicks of the past…”

Oliver Dowden, "We have got a record of which we can be proud.. Of course after 14 years in office you don't get everything (narrator: anything) right.. This isn't about the past, it's about the future.. I urge people to think how people will feel in 6 months.. a years time.. If Labour are in power" I'm not a betting man, but I bet you I'd feel a lot better than I have under the past 14 years of the Conservative party

@fesshole Tell me you have ADHD, without telling me you have ADHD. Object permanence issues. This technique of talking to yourself or singing can really help you with a task, the same as saying "bread" when you are trying to find bread on the shelves of a supermarket.

To remind myself to get a bag for life out before I go shopping I sing 'Bag for life / Bag for the family' to the tune of Soul II Soul's 'Back to Life' until I actually get the bag out. Works every time.

@sirwg202110 @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @JKRowling I'd give you 3 to 1 odds you are a Tory or believe the " they are all the same troupe" the Tories are desperately using along with you don't want them to have a full majority. Mind you considering last time with Johnson it caused us to have a rubbish Brexit deal.

New @RestIsPolitics- Gambling scandal, Farage drop in polls, why I worry about turnout, a look at smaller parties and why I can’t believe @RoryStewartUK thinking of voting Green! AI in the election. @JKrowling and labour; and a deep dive on french elections. Not going well for Macron podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sun…

@doctor_dru_ One of the things I hate about this system is the way it is portrayed as debt. My daughter's worry about it because of these statements but in reality it walks like a tax, acts like a tax because it is a graduate tax. Thank you PSBR rules for creating so much anxiety.

@flygirlNHM @theAliceRoberts I'm here for the PhDs and Profs having a wee chat about blood sucking insects and their sex life

@theAliceRoberts Rather than tell you more (about what you already know) about Lymes I thought I’d share that these are my fav copulatory species Males a lot smaller and he shoves his head inside her genital pore - as an adult he doesn’t feed! Just on love… (images from AndersLindstrom)

Oh for goodness sake. Just what you want to find before bed. An uninvited guest!

@tweets_by_dan @fesshole Aye

@fesshole We can all hear a Glaswegian accent when we read this, right?

I've never recovered from hearing my mum say to my dad "lick my farthole" when getting up for a wee in the middle of the night.

@imposhster101 @GrahamInch @theAliceRoberts What are you basing your assessment on?

I’m sorry, WHAAATT?! How dare this man tell us what subjects he thinks are valuable. Thing One: the creative industries are HUGE in the UK. Thing Two: we are HUMANS; not drones; not cogs in your machine.
