Matt Hancock was a lying incompetent prick but at least he wasn’t this kind of lying culture war prick. “Cower” is such a charged term. Fuck. Right. Off.

American Graffiti in #barnstaple opened in 1990. They sold me comics but more importantly made recommendations for wider reading. Almost 30 years later and here I am, it’s in no small part due to them. Support your local comic shop, it could change your life.

Great to be back using your service after a short hiatus @chilternrailway - sitting on the train floor outside a toilet and still almost ten minutes until departure with people piling on. All for a premium price. Happy 125th Birthday to you.

Just find it absolutely baffling that a train, at 0630 in the morning is so busy that’s its standing room only / passengers sitting on the floor @chilternrailway - how are you getting this all so wrong? What happened to your rolling stock? Where did it go?

Holiday let and second home owners have commandeered £71m (or 40%) of the grants handed out by Cornwall Council to support businesses through the pandemic. £42m of the £71m has gone outside Cornwall. Surely this should not be part of the 'new' normal.
