Mark Zuckerberg: I built this platform to give the people a voice

Idiot.

Messing with Lego will not end well.

Joined in 2009 I think. Had done good times there pre 2016. Not anymore!

Same.

I wonder if it ever occurs to people who the men were who were paying to rape and abuse the girls being groomed and sold by the gangs run by Pakistani and Asian men. According to some of the girls themselves, white, British men were involved. To be clear ALL involved are utter scum.

Deactivated twitter account after 16 years on the platform. Met some brilliant people there back in the day and been given some great opportunities but it’s now just the absolute worst and I can no longer justify any form of support for Elon Musk. World’s richest man & most dangerous in my opinion.

Snow fun!

Tea please!

It’s such a mistake to put on iPlayer ahead of schedule! Part of the fun is everyone watching at the same time.

Traitor is on point already. People who clearly can’t read people ‘reading people’, bad at lying traitors, burn the witch style treatment of obviously intellectual people and Claudia being smooth as hell. Oh and someone faking being Welsh! So beautifully lame!

Absolutely true! It’s the best by far. NZ second best but still nowhere near

heard lots of similar stories especially when women are in 40s. I was so ignorant about the peri so didn’t really spot it until I was 47/8 and had through menopause completely by 50. Probs peri from 44. Nothing I ever brought up like anxiety or joint pain was ever spoken about in relation to it.

Listening to Gareth Southgate on Desert Island Discs which is reaffirming that he’s one of the country’s nicest most wholesome guys with reassuringly uncool musical tastes.

It’s a total dream

Truth.

It’s a magnificent accompaniment to fish and chips!

Hey! I need to complete a six-month internship in #Berlin in #IT systems integration starting end of March'25.

Please repost. I'm thankful for any heads up! 🙏🏼

Ooh nice prize! My favourite drink is breakfast tea x

Thank goodness for Rev Helen-Ann Hartley and Rev Jenny Penn.

Kemi Badenoch is just as we expected her to be isn’t she. Childish, arrogant and fairly useless.

The way that the BBC are reporting on what Starmer said about future tax rises is ENRAGING. They get more like the daily fail everyday.
