@JustStop_Oil
Because of your methods you’re turning what should be an admirable cause into something to be opposed.
You’re a nuisance, targeting things the public likes. Get better PR advice because people currently want you gone.

@taylorswift13
A private jet is a much better target than Stone Henge to get public support. If I were your PR guy, I’d advise you apologise for Stone Henge and stick to targets like this….that’s not considering the criminal part of all of this of course.

Apart from many other things in this great thread, I can’t be the only one wondering about a scenario where you’ve got undercover policemen being gay in order to catch gays….and how many times a day were these policemen doing it? Was there a bonus scheme?
@NoContextBrits
That we’re:
- stiff
- snobby
- eat terrible food
- that we’re somehow still responsible for the acts carried out during the days of empire
- that we think we’re better than every other country
- that we’re racist
@dieworkwear
So, in summary, you tore him a new one.
And rightly so - I’m tired of being told “you shouldn’t wear that; you’re in your forties” - typical of a city of 100,00.
How about people enjoy their own opinions and not try to dictate societal norms they feel comfortable with.
@AdamBienkov
1. Other leaders have countries to run, so why only compare him to Starmer?
2. Sunak has apologised, so he’s clearly at odds with Mason and Kuenssberg who think his early departure was justified.
@dieworkwear
The list goes on. The opening scene to Reservoir Dogs, for me, has long been the coolest opening of any movie
Watching it now I’m thinking, “collar not big enough, tie too thin, and god knows what else Derek Guy would spot”
30 years of living a lie 😢
@gunsnrosesgirl3
Looks like a very large distillation column for oil refining
Basically you put hot crude oil in them, vapours rise. As they rise they cool then condense depending on what fuel type etc they are and flow out at different points - essentially dividing crude into different fuels etc
@RealEmirHan
Come and see (1985)
Utterly harrowing, gut wrenching, disturbing, digs deep into the mentality of those in a barbaric war - makes most war movies look like they’re for kids.
Focuses on the true horrors of war, not the imagined glamorous side.
@dieworkwear
Derek, with almost every thread you write, a section of my wardrobe becomes dead to me and I lose confidence in wearing it.
Where were you 5 years ago? 😞

How many times do you quote Shakespeare without knowing it?
It’s ‘high time’ you checked, in ‘one fell swoop’, but it’s not a ‘foregone conclusion’, and it’s all ‘Greek to me’.
@tim_brannigan
For me there are two types of English exceptionalism: one says England is great and can do no wrong or bad; the other is self-hating and says England can do no right or good.
Both sides deserve ridicule, and are probably more a reflection of the person taking a side.

Utterly terrible. Zero justification. I strongly think people - especially the organisers- are going to be charged with terrorism offences.
That usually means more than a slap on the wrist.
@dieworkwear
We need some sort of mnemonic for suits, Derek:
If the jacket’s short then just abort
If the suit is tight, the tailoring’s sh*te
If thinking tan shoes, you’ve had plenty of booze
Collar gap? Tailoring’s crap
Comfy fit, nice drape; that’s you, shipshape!

Derek wears an Omega ‘Dirty Dozen’ I think. Very much a vintage piece, made specifically for the British military during world war 2.
The name comes from the fact that 12 manufacturers were commissioned to make the watch (inc IWC)
Very few people have all 12.

Hi, my name’s BigShakkk, and despite me knowing nothing about ship design or bridge design, and not having much info, I feel confident enough to assert to the world how the ship should have behaved and that this was planned.

For those wanting to jump to the key part, it starts at 7:20.
Summary is:- Fred: had 1 tour with a ‘specialist organisation’, left military very recently, and has been told not to talk about tour for national security reasons. Hopes he can share details at some point in future.
@henrywinter
Tories, the Daily Mail and police didn’t, and Sports Direct defaced the poor little thing.
Would you say you’re a petty, insecure man, Henry?
@SoVeryBritish
Does ‘next Monday’ refer to the one in two days or the one in nine days?
Does a bi-weekly meeting mean twice a week or once a fortnight?

Well, try absolute free speech by:

@BradleyPhilpot
President of the FIA proposed something to another department of the FIA and it was accepted. I’m shocked.
Most important words in there: “clarification for the future”
So, not remedies, and not for this season.
And I thought FIFA was sh1t.

Whereas you can trust the Tories.

PPE VIP lane scandal: £10bn of unusable kit.

The party of fiscal responsibility.

You’re not Banksy. There’s no profound message to buy into here. It’s not a metaphor for the perils of climate change. You may as well p1ss on vulnerable people to draw attention to your cause.
Doubling down on a PR disaster is not a good move.
@RoyalEndeavour
He’s been pretty consistent since he became the popular figurehead for atheism.
He rejects the supernatural and much in the bible, but churches, music etc from Christian cultures are things he’s always appreciated.
This isn’t the slam dunk you think it is.
@mrjamesob
He’s the type of man who goes to anger management classes and whispers to the person next to him; “did that man over there just call you a prick? Maybe I was mistaken but it seemed like that to me”

Were you this angry when the Tories changed the colour of the Union flag?
I mean, government’s more important than football so you must’ve been raging.

I can see it now: ‘F12022, Hamilton Strikes Back’.
No messing about or letting Max through at the start of the season.
Mercedes in good shape.
Lewis angry and a point to prove against whatever FIA throw at him
The world knows he’s the best. Take them to the cleaners, Lewis!
@KEdge23
No idea why you keep turning up on my feed.
Never offer any analysis
Rarely engage with replies
Be as partisan as possible
Write something bland attacking Labour
Just a troll.
@dieworkwear
Interesting, esp about Starmer. He had a fairly distinct look in his 20s (see below), but been quite straight-laced since becoming a lawyer
“Starmer can’t afford to miscalculate in such a tight election year.” - I suspect he could wear overalls and win, based on opinion polls.
@theJeremyVine
I’m a cyclist and I believe you’re a fair minded person, Jeremy, but where is this van driver supposed to park? I’d consider that parking expedient and reasonable, if for a short time.
I don’t know what your goal is, but UK roads weren’t built to accommodate traffic + bikes.

You’ve replaced EU immigration with immigration from other places - nearly 700,000 in a year.
Party time is over for you - time for you to get some of the hangover we’ve had from you for years.

“They are just very good at it now”
Is that why she’s on the front page of the Mail?
Tory scandals are magnitudes more serious, but people like you are desperate to land *anything* on Labour.
@KEdge23
We all love our partners, Kev. But when our partner supports people who make life difficult for good people, we’d try and change the way our partner thinks, not the majority of the voting public.
Tell your partner to think about a new job. I think he’s lost this one anyway.
@StanCollymore
For every action….
3 years for a hateful f*ck about.
If the planning of these targeted ‘protests’ fits the definition of terrorism, lots of people are going to have 10 years to wonder whether it was worth it
BREAKING: Heavy sentences being handed out to rioters.
Derek Drummond, 58, of Pool Street, Southport, has just been sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court to three years in prison after he admitted violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker in Southport last Tuesday night.

Which Sky package promises male only commentators, Joey? You might want to check your contract with Sky.
Doubt they’re changing their commentators for you.
Don’t watch, unsubscribe, watch Hollyoaks if you’re that bothered. Like or not, female commentators are here to stay.
@dieworkwear
Derek, maybe not so much with tailoring, but why is the fashion industry seemingly incapable of sizing things uniformly, even wrt shoes?
“I’m usually an L in ABC sweaters, but an XL in XYZ, and an 8.5 in Nike but a 9 in Adidas”
It makes eBay anxiety inducing.
@BarristerSecret
My partner is a recorder, and I find myself defending judges more than I feel comfortable with.
Some ppl seem to think Judges aren’t accountable, can’t be appealed, and just make up a sentence depending on their religious/political inclination, or what mood they’re in.
So tiring

Resign? It’s not even clear he did anything wrong. If he says he can’t talk about his tour for security reasons then you should accept that unless you find new evidence. What if it was in Ukraine?
I think you need to tone this down, not double down.
@dieworkwear
The man, his outlook, his pseudo-philosophy, and his views are insufferable. The world needs more humanity and fewer people like him.
The great Bertrand Russell knew his type only too well.

Tate protests too much. I suspect his doubt is he’s chosen to live as an awful man, and may regret it one day.
@socialiststeve6
A million distractions in the form of light entertainment.
The belief that this is the natural order of things.
A feeling of being too impotent to change it.
A lack of organisation to act effectively.
@SkySportsF1
Ah, it was as clean cut and fair as the video suggests? Nothing in there about breaking rules? No LH radio?
Thank god I’ve cancelled F1 on Sky - you’d be surprised how easy it is to watch Sky without paying a penny…not that I’d break the law, of course 😉

That ain’t a great look the day before a GE. Completely avoidable too.
“Mercer scuffles with nurses” for the encore?

Tragic. And some of the responses under your tweet are beneath contemptible. Imagine having no sympathy for somebody losing their life because of the type of transport they use.

Such an atmospheric place. The Royal Mile area is full of history and intrigue. From the mighty castle to Heriot’s school, to the dark history of underground vaults.
