Dealing with a rail franchise that owes me £96 and a utility provider that accidentally closed my account without notice then reopened it, taking a WHOLE YEAR’S MONEY in one gulp, I’ve realised who Sunak reminds me of — the polite face of an organisation that doesn’t give a shit.
If this Government’s outright onslaught on British liberties - restricting our right to protest, robbing millions of workers of their right to strike & stripping back human rights doesn’t terrify you it damn well should!
If you watch just one thing today please make it this!
A v public THANK YOU to @EastMidRailway team for their kindness & thoughtfulness today, looking after many folk Nottingham-bound to celebrate the life of Elain Harwood.
For context, Elain helped Britain see the value of (& List) its best post-war architecture; railways included.
Big Train, one of the greatest sketch shows ever, is repeated from tonight, BBC2, 10pm. It accelerated the careers of a generation of incredible performers and writers. TV needs more Big Trains to give the next generation their breaks. @BritishComedycomedy.co.uk/tv/features/why…
Minister says water privatisation has enabled "clean & plentiful water". What?? Since privatised, water firms have borrowed a staggering £53bn, much of that to help pay £72bn shareholder dividends - while sewage pours into rivers & seas. Privatisation has utterly failed @We_OwnIt
- water companies had no debt when they were privatised
- since then they gave borrowed £53bn
- much of this has been used to help pay £72bn in dividends
- interest rates have now spiked
- what could possible go wrong?
