Rather than admit that yes there are 3 companies but there are 4 networks the troll besmirching the name of a great cricketer blocks all dissent to ensure he will never learn anything.
There are still 4 networks and masts that don’t work for both of 3 and Vodafone despite their common ownership.

Brexit has been by far the greatest threat to our national security. No economic growth means we can’t afford, staff or supply our armed forces.
When people ask me for advice on standing for election, the first thing I say is β€œDon’t do it unless you have a purpose. If you think being an MP will be fun, you’ll soon be disabused. But if are working towards a goal, you’ll be able to shrug off all the insults and inconveniences.” Al Carns is a good example of someone who has gone into politics with a purpose. You don’t lightly step away from commanding the SBS or turn down a senior one-star field appointment. His purpose is plain enough: he wants to reverse the decades-long downgrading of our Armed Forces. Some MPs will respect his integrity; others will resent the mirror that he holds up to their own motives. We’ll find out soon enough which response is more common.

99% of head injuries happen to pedestrians and car passengers. When we see pedestrians wearing walking helmets and people in cars wearing driving helmets then we’ll accept this is a genuine concern for safety not just trying to put people off cycling.
Why won't any of our anti cycling helmet idiots, sign up to do comparison testing at their own risk of not wearing a cycling helmet ! Funny they are all quick enough to post their rubbish quickly , but chicken out when it comes to the crunch 🀣

Pedestrians and car passengers have far more preventable head injuries that the NHS has to treat. Strange that you aren’t demanding walking helmets and car helmets.
And the entire general public has suffered because the NHS has has to treat a preventable head injury.

Junior officers study tactics & strategy Senior officers study logistics Field Marshalls study economics. Brexit is by far the biggest threat to our security and defence.
We need to get out of this mindset that wars are won by soldiers alone. They're won by supply chains, factories and the country behind them. That's the conversation we need to have.

A thousand times more cases of pedestrians who could have been saved by wearing helmets. Many thousands more who died because they sat in cars so never got any gentle exercise walking or cycling.
Plenty of cases out there of cyclists who didn't wear a cycling helmet & wish they had & both they & their families have suffered because of that bad decision !

Cabbies genuinely believe that nuclear submarines and F35s cost about the same as a tin of paint 🀣
There is a time, there is a place… Money should be spent on defence, not rainbows 🌈

Brexit was in fact fatal for them both just as it was for the capable and intelligent Sunak, the dutiful May, the firework Truss and will be for Burnham too.
The thing that Starmer and Johnson have in common is that neither of them had a clear idea of how they wanted to run the country, and that was politically fatal for both in the end.

The iPhone wasn’t β€˜invented’ it was engineered but it’s hopeless trying to explain engineering to liberal arts grads. A dog has a better chance of understanding the concept of Norway.
This is the chief problem with socialists, they just don’t understand how innovation works. Someone had to invent the iPhone for it to exist. That’s why making the guy who invents things rich incentivises more things to be invented in future.

β€œI haven’t been included in the Defence Investment Plan. I’ll be really honest I only saw it two weeks ago” Al Carns neatly illustrates the chaos surrounding the Government’s handling of the Defence Investment Plan. Even ministers within defence, with the experience and expertise he has, have played almost no part in composing it. The Government simply are not taking defence seriously.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both. I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces. Letter to the PM below.πŸ«‘πŸ«‘πŸ«‘β¬‡οΈβ¬‡οΈ

The actual plan existed and still exists today. It’s very well documented history.
.@jerrytaylor. Try to keep up. The Nazi Army and Navy could not agree on whether the invasion should be on a broad front (desired by the Army) or a narrow one (desired by the Navy). Adm Raeder was wholly opposed to it. Gen Franz Halder described the Navy's plans as 'complete suicide'. Landing rehearsals with canal barges were farcical. Nobody could come up with a way of dealing with British minefields. Germany's destroyer force, crucial in any such engagement, had been wiped out at Narvik.

Bike lanes are good for everyone, even for people who never ride bikes. We've known this stuff for a long, long time.

I'm sure the Standards headline tomorrow will report the "cover up" (by putting out a press release πŸ€”) on a record driver/passenger ksi's of 43% on a downward trend of car ownership. Won't it Nicholas?

This WMP police tweet proves that nothing you do or wear on a bike will affect the behaviour of drivers who don't look, yet #RoadSafety agencies *still* believe in the power of lights & hi-vis. Their advice is a lazy, cynical, victim-blaming sham.
Cyclists, the days may be brighter but bike lights could assist drivers to see you and could help to keep you safe on the roads. Drivers, always look twice for bikes, and look over your shoulder before pulling out. #LookOutForEachOther

144% increase in serious cycling injuries in Bromley in just one year. No 20mph, no LTNs, no cycle lanes, no school streets in Bromley. Just daily worship at the altar of the private car. So how is it possible that injuries to people riding bikes soar? standard.co.uk/news/london/c…

This person has never tripped and fallen in their entire life! Possible but probably an outlier if their recollection is accurate.
I've been a pedestrian and cyclist all my life - it has happened to me twice as a cyclist, never as a pedestrian. In cars, we have air bags for the purpose.

Poor Jim. He can’t even imagine people having many good things in their lives such as friends.
Bicycle riding being the only thing you can claim as a good thing in your life seems like a bad place to be

Boring snoring. I shall be happy in my β€˜defeat’ and accept having positive things in my life with fortitude. 🀣

Jerry, mate, time to accept defeat and pedal on
