Dean and I went to @steelershockey yesterday with our friend Chris - our first ever ice hockey game, didn't know the first thing about it or what to expect. What a blast! Really entertaining, intense to watch, and the atmosphere and crowd were so friendly. A breath of fresh air!

@NHSMillion @DailyMailUK I think - disgusting though it is - this is another step pushing the 'general public' into accepting private healthcare being the norm and dismantling the NHS fully - hence the "compared to just 4 in the private sector" comment. It sickens me. 😠

Mr Gove, do you not see whilst this is (as usual) "one rule for the scum and masses, another for the ruling classes" as you intend, it also will encourage THOUSANDS of others to do the same, taking unnecessary risk - who knows how many will die so you can defend your Government.

@EA @Codemasters I feel for the ex EA guys who formed @slightlymadteam to make Project Cars because of how bad EA were, to then be bought last year by Codies, to then be reabsorbed now back into the stable they fought so well to split from. Poor sods. 😢

@FollowTheTown1 @shrewsweb Neither pic is misleading or 'packed' - theatre had 1m+ distancing in place (every other chair vacant) and drinks only delivered to seats, Town did much the same (if not exceeding distancing minimums). Clubs are going to the wall, so now is absolutely the time to be doing this.
