I'm sure 'Crewkerne South' will be fine without him... (Fun fact: I used to live in Crewkerne about 35 years ago. There was no such thing as 'Crewkerne South'. It's not big place.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social "it's two-tier leniency!" they'll cry... It's one sentence for them, and another for those who harmed a safety services worker...
I really can't stand the phrase, but I'm hearing a lot of talk about "two-tier" leniency... a) I don't think criminals who physically harmed a person should be released from prison early. b) The employer of the victim should have nothing to do with any decision whatsoever.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social The quote "there is no such thing as a former KGB agent" springs to mind. Or possibly, "once a nazi, probably still a nazi". etc.
Is it possible for we humans to build, elect and trust some sort of 'global parliament or senate' to help our species survive when the need comes? Or is it too late to gather and organise something positive through humanity's varied and somewhat idiotic religiosities, to save us all? Nope and Yep.

An unexpected cost of Farage causing a by-election... .. along with a list as long as your arm of other independent time-wasting candidates eager to get the support of the most gullible constituency in the land. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Clacton by-election ballot list costing four times more

Just realised I hadn't watched anything on Netflix for absolutely yonks. So went and had a look around, decided it was all rubbish and cancelled my account from 2013.
Hey BBC News, either the first word of the headline is a typo, or you left out a crucial word from it... "illegal" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From back in the day. Made from the thumbnails of my old Phreadz posts... Despite the look on my face in the collage, they were most excellent times.
YouTube has been recently recommending videos of pub reviews around Bristol. I have just seen myself and mates in two of them so far, during the 'Cat Pub' section.
I get the feeling some of the Moroccan lads who entered Ceuta did it for a bit of a laugh. Loads just had to walk around a fence, or paddle around some rocks. While the news headlines point at the large amount of people who showed up so quickly, over half of them have already chosen to go back.
If Hamas disarm, what will Netanyahu do with the $30m a month* he's been giving them for years? *: In suitcases via Qatar.
I had no idea we were due another partial eclipse. The one in 1999 was incredible. Watched it go dark over London from up on Parliament Hill. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wish some people could decide if they want to be actual journalists or YouTubers. I've seen some really smart young people giving it their all to get the truth out there, to then succumb to the cheesy thumbnails and hyperbolic titles. Title says this: Content mostly ignores that. Audience leaves
Pretty disappointed that BBC News right now appear to be hungry for some salacious social drama by putting the Polanski tweet bollocks as the top 2nd story right now. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW? Who's the editor there now? And how old is that childish twat?
