Tim in Bath

Quite. This is precisely how money works, I believe that the technical term is "fungible"

They were more likely looking to steal gas. But that headline is nowhere.

The activities in Fairford appear to be an overconfident, poorly planned, operation to steal large quantities of fuel oil. But enough about the US Military

Two Tier Policing. Just Stop Oil got 21 years for planning to block a road. The Far Right block emergency vehicles they don't even get arrested.

Unclear on jurisdiction but if UK, Google has just admitted to three potential crimes under Section 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Other countries will have simular laws. Perhaps rather than talking about regulating IA, we should be enforcing existing laws?

www.theguardian.com/music/commen... - and to paraphrase Peter Cook: I'm a huge fan of 1930s Berlin cabaret that did so much to stop the Nazis.

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

Insanely funny way to spin "this car is not legal in europe"

This caller didn't mince his words 🔥🔥🔥- Éireann Your Views never shies away from the big issues

These people who suddenly care about academic plagerism sound just like the people who suddenly care about fairness in sports Funny eh, what a coincidence

My small British company was bought by Americans. I have just been formally reprimanded for sarcasm and sardonic commentary. I told the disciplinary panel I was grateful for the opportunity to reflect on my attitude going forward and would be certain to bear it in mind in future.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This makes me so cross. And in case we are tempted to think that this is all due to thick Americans, remember that the MMR bullshit started with "doctor" Andrew Wakefield in Bath. Children will die and these arseholes have blood on their hands.

Brilliant commitment to historical accuracy there. www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

In 2004 a human rights barrister & part of the appeal defence for the "Fairford Five", made a defence similar to that of the Palestine Action activists who broke into RAF Brize Norton last year. His name? Keir Starmer - who now even labels people who support these conscientious acts as terrorists.

At the very least Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr is ignorant as to what the Suffragettes did and how they operated.

These are the 30 women killed since 2020 in Northern Ireland, all by white men 21 killed in their homes by men they knew. The youngest 20, the oldest 82 21 were mothers, 4 were killed with their children in the home. Two were pregnant Nobody rioted over their murders www.bbc.com/news/article...

I think both Sadiq Khan and Yvette Cooper should get substantially more letters... Just saying.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

It's OK everyone - no need to feel pure cold rage at this one. www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

www.researchgate.net/publication/... For folks interested in the schlerochronology of mollusc shells, this good solid paper comparing techniques is well worth a read. From @amylprendergast.bsky.social et al.

Disingenuous statements from Wes Streeting that he will introduce a wealth tax when all he means is slightly upping capital gains which is a tax on the growth of wealth not wealth itself. Only a real wealth tax that steadily erodes wealth would reduce inequality.

And this is why the @greenparty.org.uk are correct not to stand aside for Burnham (who BTW is married to an immigrant)

Cardiff Uni taking another step in the wrong direction here. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

OPD Group are a private healthcare company, in case you were wondering. I'm sure that they don't want anything in return for the huge wodges of cash they've been throwing at the bloke who is effectively in charge of the NHS. Why would they?

A very merry fuck Orbán into oblivion to all those who celebrate. #Hungary

Only a real stable genius would blockade a blockade /s I thought he was an idiot before. This only tells me his stupidity is beyond comprehension

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

Agree that this is troubling. So what is to be done about this accelerating loss of our shared heritage? The clue may be in this chap's name.

Things a Labour government is willing to bail out - Banks. Things a Labour government is not willing to bail our - Universities. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

• Your friendly reminder that Lord Mandelson is still a member of the Parliamentary Labour Party and retains the Labour Whip. • Worth reflecting on all the MPs who lost the Labour Whip are were suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party for voting against the 2 Child Cap.

"Our study revealing university degrees are a net drain on the rest of society turns out to contain an error. PPEs from Oxford are an outlier and should not have been included."

A joke for the history buffs.

Nothing demonstrates the amount of time to train astronauts than the fact that NASA's next crew to be launched into space includes a black guy, a woman, and a Canadian. It is an echo of a previous USA and a reminder of what has been lost.

"this is what we could have won"

So it turns out that the US seizure of an tanker off the coast of Scotland used RAF Mildenhall in #England and #Wick airport (owned by the #Scottish Government). Is it too much to hope that those assets would not be available for an attack on #Greenland? Starmer and Swinney must make that clear.

With this regime anything is possible…

Arrived at Bristol Airport yesterday after a fantastic few days in the Highlands. Taxi driver: "where have you flown from?" Me: "Inverness" Him: "is that in Spain?"
