Permit me an observation on the controversy surrounding Gary Lineker's view on immigration and asylum as expressed in his now notorious tweet. I worked in the BBC's Editorial Complaints Unit for around a decade, adjudicating on complaints that there had been breaches

Gary Lineker was pulled off air by the BBC because he refused to issue a public apology for his tweets criticising the government’s Illegal Migration Bill, according to sources close to him. Lineker rejects the idea he breached social media guidelines, which is what…

My Sky News interview exposing Braverman’s lies is approaching 2 million views. This is democracy in action. #BritainIsBetterThanTheTories

I’ve worked for the BBC for 35 yrs and made 100s of live broadcasts. I believe the government is pursuing an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the '30s. I wait to hear from Tim Davie.

This is incredible, Suella Braverman hasn’t got a clue about the system that she herself is in charge of! #GeneralElectionNow #TakeBackDemocracy #TorySewageParty #GeneralElectionNow #ToryIncompetence #ToryCorruption #ToryLiars #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern #ToryCriminals

Talk about double standards…

Thanks to this Government, junior doctors can now make more money serving coffee than saving patients. From tomorrow we take #JuniorDoctorsStrike action so we’re paid what we’re worth.

Perhaps Richard Sharp could facilitate a £800k loan to the BBC Singers since he obviously likes helping people. #BBCSingers #ClassicalMusic #RichardSharpOut

If you would like to see Stanley Johnson’s knighthood rejected and Boris Johnson recalled. Like this tweet. If you would like to see them both in jail for Domestic Abuse/Fraud. RT this tweet.

First commute in London for a while yesterday. Just about to report 2 close passes and 2 ASL infringements from 3 drivers. All within a 4 minute period. Every one a London Taxi. So much for #LondonsFinest setting the gold standard!🤷‍♂️ The LTDA TfL Taxi & Private Hire Jeremy Vine | Here, on Tiktok, Insta & Facebook @AndyCoxDCS

Dear Five Guys Deutschland, I ordered at Hamburg Jungfernstieg on Tuesday night but the order could not be completed because the store had already closed. I had paid already so I require a refund. Could you tell me how as my email to you has so far been ignored?

Congratulations British Airways, you have once again excelled yourselves in inconveniencing me and many other passengers cancelling 2 flights today. My original flight should have arrived at 12:20 AND you’ve still to respond to my compensation claim from March. It’s now 22:04.

Dear Five Guys Deutschland or Five Guys, could someone please tell me how to get a refund for food I paid for but never received because your app took an order (and my money) AFTER the store had closed? I’ve emailed twice, used your website contact form and all I have is silence…

Still no word from either Five Guys Deutschland or Five Guys via email or tweet. This amounts to theft! x.com/matthewelston/…

I’ve just emailed Five Guys Deutschland Five Guys for the FIFTH time as previous emails/tweets have been ignored. I WANT MY REFUND for food ordered and paid for on their app that was accepted despite the restaurant being closed! #corporatetheft x.com/matthewelston/…

So I'm doing my '23 tax return and need figures from 01/09/21-31/08/22. Thankfully American Express UK, Starling and NatWest all allow you to download transactions, but Barclaycard only allows the last 12 months. Why are they so stuck in the dark ages? #NoGoodForBusiness

I’m astonished at the incompetence of Parcelforce Worldwide after a 3rd failed attempt. Having set a “safe place” and trusted neighbour using their app I was today told that despite a signature not being required their policy is NOT TO USE THEM. Can’t even book a redelivery using the app!
