    It's professional gatekeeping. Who can afford to not work? Rich people's children.

    Ridiculously she appears to have tried to bluff her way out of the initial ' capture' by continuing the exchange with the s-p account, but forgetting that the original question was specifically asked of her. <doh>
    The other s-p accounts heaping praise and suggesting a stellar media career just add to the farce.

    However, on a serious note, how Twitter allow her to continue is a disgrace.

    That's one of the reasons why unpaid internship in profitable organisations is a very bad thing.
    But I don't think that logic really applies to charities where having rich people's children might be a win win.

    Getting verified makes you bulletproof, as the likes of JK Rowling or Rachel Riley demonstrate constantly

    It's telling that, when Twitter removed Katie Hopkins' Blue Tick, she was permabanned within fifteen minutes

    With the fascist bastards happy to break International Law re Brexit Protocol and also the Rwanda deportation scam, not to mention all the other **** they are doing (Police Bill etc), this sums up my thoughts pretty much...

    Congress can only bring information to light. Only the Department of Justice can prosecute.

    While a lot of people did a lot of things, it's going to be difficult to prove Trump broke any laws. He's a protege of Roy Cohn, the former counsel of Joe McCarthy, the old Red Scare leader of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Cohn taught him his favorite trick, which is to accuse others of whatever they're accusing him of.

    In any case, Trump is a nod and a wink guy. What says it all is that he doesn't have an email account. Nothing is ever written down. When Trump wants someone to do something, he meets them face to face, alone, and hints around until they know what he wants.

    Considering how Crossrail was first proposed by Thatcher, and the wheels got turning (pun not intended) under Blair and construction began under Brown, my immediate thought is that it can't be £4bn over budget - surely it's significantly more than that

    Is he 'little'? If not he may sue you for libel. The rest is fair comment.

    He's significantly shorter than Farage, who in turn is significantly shorter than Trump.
    please log in to view this image

    Interesting to note that he's wearing a poppy, while Farage is wearing a US flag pin.
