Aaaaaargh I am so fucking annoyed!

DS is in America for 2 weeks with his partner. Today partner's car was stolen. With DS' wheelchair in it. His brand new wheelchair which cost £3.5 k and which he had only had for a week. Yes, it's insured but I will still have to order a replacement up front and then pay to have it delivered to him in Plymouth, and the whole thing takes 8 weeks.

The car has been found, damaged. The wheelchair is of course gone.

Oh pointy I am so so sorry. This is so terrible. Utter scum.

I'm sorry that's happened to your ds Pointy. Hopefully he will manage with the hired one and still manage to enjoy is holiday, and a new will arrive quickly for him.

Sorry @pointythings that’s awful 😢

It’s been shamefully lost in the violence and chaos we’ve seen across the country in recent days, but Southport is a community in mourning. Beautiful pictures from tonight’s vigil in the town

I love that they're commemorating with bubbles. Beautiful.

Just don't scroll too far down. The twats are out in force.

London Ambulamce service unfortunately having to clamp down on racial abuse of their staff. Bad news for nazis that might need treating.

A very confused "protestor". Poppy and swastika?

Or maybe he's hedging his bets...

In other news is rumoured that Kamala Harris has reportedly decided who she wants to be her running mate, and the candidate has accepted the position. Her decision will be announced either later today or tomorrow morning.

RobinStrike · 05/08/2024 20:19

@pointythings I'm so sorry. I hope your DS manages to get a replacement while he is away. What a horrible thing to happen while he's on holiday.

RobinStrike · 05/08/2024 20:19

@BIossomtoes have a lovely birthday tomorrow.

@pointythings really sorry to hear that. There are some awful people around. ☹️
Ihave been annoying myself looking at X and the unthinking and I’ll thought out whataboutery from some of the “Tommy posters” I also feel like taking screenshots of some of those who have a reform profile pics awful and racist comments and reposting a selection every single time Farage, Tice and co come out to stir… with a very innocent “ is this a member of your limited company/ party?” Or “ Do you agree with your supporters Mr Farage?” I am flipping well sock of them all!!
To lower my blood pressure I have seen the posts of the vigil from LT X account and also that the fundraiser for the library is going well. So there is hope left.

pointythings · 05/08/2024 20:48

Thanks, all. You've made me feel better. I just feel a bit put upon lately what with my Ginger Overlord being diagnosed with kidney disease and having a max of 3 years ahead of him (and he isn't even 3 yet) and now this. I want fate to go and inflict things on someone else now, there are so many who could do with a good dose of really shit luck.

PandoraSox · 05/08/2024 20:48

I didn't know there was a fundraiser. £91,030 raised so far. They only asked for £500.

mibbelucieachwell · 05/08/2024 20:58

How sickening for you and your DS @pointythings .

That article from the Papua New Guinea Courier is bang on the money.

TooBigForMyBoots · 05/08/2024 20:59

Ah @pointythings, how shit for your poor son.Brew

newnamethanks · 05/08/2024 21:04

I'm sorry to hear that pointy, it really is Week of Scum. You deserve some luck now, I'm wishing it towards you.

CassieMaddox · 05/08/2024 21:04

That's shit pointy and pretty stressful for DS :(

Tommy Robinson deleted this Tweet, as it accidentally had his lawyer telling him in the bottom right corner that he will no longer represent him.
