I made a complaint to @MarriottBonvoy about a stay at Aloft in Brooklyn New York. No reply to my complaint, but I’m getting a tonne of marketing on email from them. The age of customer service must be dead. Room not made up, a flood and noisy neighbours, to name a few issues.

I absolutely agree with much of this chilling prediction. The appearance of caring about trust and safety on social was over when Musk claimed civil war in the UK was inevitable.
America needs to learn the terrifying lesson of the British riots. This was Musk’s trial balloon for the US election. The prospect of political violence is real. And Musk’s behaviour is a warning shot of what’s to come. My piece for @ObserverUK .

An excellent thread that's well worth a read to the end.
Because of the misinformation about the horrific attack in Southport, I am going to use this thread to give factual information on how mass stabbings are investigated and what the involvement of counter-terrorism police means. These are general processes not specific to this case.
