So today @BritishGasHelp @britishgas have excelled themselves! My elderly & infirm mother, aged 88yrs, living independently in mid Cheshire, today found herself without heating or hot water. She contacted British Gas four or five hours ago now but, this far, no-one has arranged>
@LBC @NickFerrariLBC For Nick: Please stop saying "50,000 volts" as if that shows how dangerous a Taser is: it doesn't. The voltage isn't the important aspect here. All that figure does is indicate how much "push" there is , causing the electricity to move. The gradient, if >

@LBC For Natasha: Braverman is right that simply ”causing offence" is not (usually) a criminal offence...BUT causing "harassment, alarm or distress" most definitely IS... This applies generally, including hate-related cases ... It's quite difficult for police to establish >

That Karma might be a bit of lazy old thing...but when she gets her act together... Wow!
