I mean, the headline makes me assume someone flew a drone in there and glued the door shut, because parliament is still in the 1400's.

The best thing Twitter has given us is the Wings Over Scotland guy getting so mad that he wrote an article about Pissflaps trolling him on Twitter.

I hate to say this but for some people that is how they contact. If he's visiting you because he needs stuff doing it might just be the only way he's aware you can socialise.

I know 2 people who are completely technologically illiterate and need help for everything IT, despite them using computers in 1 case for 2 decades. I also would be scared to be around one of them if they are using power tools as some people just can't handle anything technical as their brain just doesn't seem to be able to cope. Both of those people are very outgoing people, e.g. a retired salesperson in one case.

They don't seek help to socialise they seek help as they are mentally 'disabled' and just aren't able to do IT.

The moment where he just stood there at the end smiling at the Jeremy Corbyn chant was one of the most genuine responses I've seen from any politician. He's good.

The Tory line of attack is that Corbyn chose to go to politicise glasto instead of going to an armed services march in Liverpool which May was at.

And he spent two or three hours earlier meeting veterans anyway, so I guess they just decided to be a bunch of lying little shits about it.

I really do not understand why the people Camden Council evacuated are snarling and bitching. Alright, a night on an air mattress and in a leisure centre isn't much fun, but the fire service and council reacted very swiftly to save their lives, and there are still people in that block refusing to budge.

Just rewatched his speech with the missus-to-be. We were both squeeing, getting literal thrills of that dreaded hope at points. We're getting married in exactly one week, to the minute.. and the thought that at last a politician is speaking like this and being heard just gave us hope that perhaps our future kids will not be so badly hosed after all..

Most of the people who are refusing to budge have pets and / or very old. Given the council have found nowhere to put the pets and old people don't like change its understandable a lot wont move.

Four to six weeks on the blocks evacuated. The big one also has problems with insulation on the gas pipes within the building where they meet with doors and connect to peoples flats - considering there's been two fires in that building they've been lucky that hasn't caused a major fire in the building.
