Okay - so we're 3 years since I wrote this - but it's not far off the mark....
I kept meaning to tweet this after I was in Beijing last year for the Winter Olympics, but never got around to it. Anyway, I guess it's still not too late...... (1/3)

Just because you're the world's richest person, it doesn't mean you're right. You're absolutely wrong
In most cases, the word “homeless” is a lie. It’s usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with severe mental illness.

The UK Supreme Court ruled that charging fees for accessing employment tribunals is unlawful. Tory govt is set to override the Court judgment. Millions will have to accept exploitation. The rule of law is being used to deprive people of rights/justice. leftfootforward.org/2024/02/…

UK state pension age will soon need to rise to 71, say experts. This is planned euthanasia of low/middle income people. Rich retire whenever they want, live longer. Others forced to work to death. Wealth transferred from poor to the rich. theguardian.com/money/2024/f…

@LycaMobileForUK I hear you've got network problems today. My phone stopped receiving calls. I rebooted it, and it now answers calls - but if I'm not available, the caller gets transferred to an "you've dialled an incorrect number. Please check the number and dial again" (1/2)

.......message and not my voicemail. Your customer service team knows there's a problem yet there's no public statement that you've got a technical problem - and not "service status" page on your webiste Come on - up your game (2/2)

@LycamobileUK This is STILL not fixed. My voicemail STILL forwards to a random "+91" number that I can't change. This is after changing the sim, and trying it on 3 different android handsets. What's going on?!
