Running for the emergency exit. @afursedon@mastodonapp.uk Many folks complaining it's too complicated had no problems setting up the jazziest Myspace backgrounds. I just read this first: fedi.tips/how-to-use-mas…

"We're providing a great service by ripping off those unaware of the value of the stuff their selling" is an appalling business model. Just end this now, or face the inevitable ceremonial burning of tote bags.

Please note! We appreciate this service won't be suitable for everyone's needs i.e. those seeking to maximise collectible items. However for anyone looking to trade casually for a quick turn-around i.e. to make space, then this could well be a great solution.

@gordon_struth I couldn't agree more about it being unfair. Now the reality of FPTP is affecting (current or previous) supporters of both 'main' parties, perhaps we'll see a broader movement to @electoralreform ?

@RobertH1796 @BritainElects @Survation 5 of the 6 GEs this century have seen "majority" government with under 44% of the vote share. The only difference this time is it'll pummel the Tories. I suspect they'll finally start arguing for electoral reform!

@BritainElects @Survation Labour getting a mighty majority with under 40% of the vote is going to be insane.

@JohnWest_JAWS @AdamBienkov SNP's theoretical maximum is 57 and Labour will take a chunk of those, so unlikely I think.

@AdamBienkov Might be the SNP as the second party & LD's 3rd (or vice versa). No one wants to be discussing the Tories being a 3rd or 4th party because the duopoly is what the Tories (and a lot of the media) want.

Yet another poll pointing towards the Lib Dems becoming the second largest party in the House of Commons, and the new official opposition. Amazing how little anyone is even discussing this as a possibility

@afursedon Hi Andrew thanks for getting in touch. Are you referring to the volunteering link in the pinned bio?- a number of us have used it and it appears to be working for us so it would be good to hear what is happening for you. Also are you intersted in volunteering?

@reading_greens any news on your candidate for Reading Central? I've seen retweets of other areas, but little on local stuff. Also, the link on your bio doesn't work. Appreciate you may be short on resources, but this stuff is easy to fix!

@Shaun_H Goodness, that's a Proustian rush! Could it have been at the Music Box? They had a lot of that kind of stuff. Your memory of that period is probably better than mine!

@getpeid I was seriously considering the Nothing phone 2, really impressed by the unified form and function, but then I checked the dimensions... Will you make a device that fits in a pocket and that won't jab me in the stomach when I sit down?

@KidicalMassRead @readingcycle Yes, lovely and quiet on Belmont Road at the moment! 20mph would make sense, but I doubt it would change behaviour of those already speeding through a residential area with a school in it. The only real solution is to reduce through traffic.

@afursedon @readingcycle They’ve done another one until early Jan on the road next to it now :) But the whole area is being considered for at least a 20mph zone! Which is exciting

@ReadingCouncil loving the ad-hoc LTN trial on Albany Road! Deliveries can access (reversing down), space to turn at the end, no cars idling outside homes or speeding through. Can we make this permanent, block off Occy Rd end with some planters? Cc @SarahHacker_rdg

@BestForBritain @DavidLammy The Tories have moved from fucking things up by appointing immoral people with no experience, to appointing immoral people with really solid experience of fucking things up at a global level.

@nuge_86 @afursedon @ReadingCouncil The request is in. Officers will take a look and report back at a Traffic Management Sub-Committee meeting. At this stage, it's hypothetical, so we'll see what they say.

@ReadingClowncil Go back and read your comment and consider how you'd feel if I'd made an uninvited comment like that on a post about how nice your road felt that day. You've been doing this so long, you've become detached from the impact of your words.

I've never once walked around Rye and thought it's vibrant and charming. The Oxford Road with it's litter, prostitution, drugs gangs, knife wielding dicksplats however..... #rdguk

@ReadingClowncil I don't disagree with you on the litter problem, I raise this as often as I can, but you have shifted the conversation away from your original post: A simple apology for slurring my neighbours and I would be welcome and we can all get back to focusing on bins.
