He is however very easily impressed by a paint job and a retweet.
Aye, I've wondered that too.
No issue against the fella personally, but the 'likes' and RT's brigade are part of the problem imo and the aparent obsession with incessant titivating over network improvements.
It doesn't seem to matter that an NHS worker can't get to their shifts at the QE using the bus or doesn't have a hope in being able to get a bus home at the end of the shift.
Bizarrely if that was seen to and some sort of commercial service allowed people to get to/from work during a pandemic, it would probably would get a few 'likes' and RT's!
Although it might not be from the 'right' people.
Whenever I see Roger's name mentioned, I always hark back to his apparent dislike of cove panels which protect kids from sexual abuse...

I find it utterly bizarre that anyone would have anything against something which promoted a helpline relating to that sort of subject.
It may well not be the nicest subject to talk about, but come on...
