Youtube comments of Dave Cooper (@davecooper3238).

  1. You can’t beat a good fireworks display. Especially when someone else is paying.
    619
  2. Trump and Epstein is a decades old story. The news cycle and people’s interest have moved on.
    216
  3. Before reading through the comments I had not realised how many people think the BBC controls our politics.
    156
  4. The Crooked House pub near Dudly, England that was demolished despite being listed is being rebuilt. Costing the company that owns the site loads of money. If that can be done in England pretty sure Scotland can do it.
    120
  5. Is Trump telling Putin let me have half. Give it a couple of months and you can have the other half.
    115
  6. But the police need to gather evidence to prove wrongdoing. Then back to the station to write it up. That then goes to public prosecutor office. If they feel there is enough evidence to secure a conviction it goes to court. Where a highly paid JSO lawyer claims the protesters had been falsely arrested & should receive damages.
    111
  7. The UK can do it. They have chosen not to.
    109
  8. Looks like Zelensky has just become leader of the free world.
    96
  9. The non Muslim inhabitants will be interested in the answer.
    78
  10. No fly sounds a good idea.
    76
  11.  @NicoleAZ145  Apparently not enough to stop him possibly becoming the next POTUS.
    74
  12. With Israel’s record on the West Bank this should come as no surprise.
    74
  13. I don’t see the search of DJ Trump’s house as something scary. For me it brings increased confidence in the system.
    71
  14. Looks like the NRA’s prayers are just not being answered. Perhaps they should try a different approach.
    68
  15. I seem to remember that Boris Johnson claimed that unlike Mrs May he had made sure NI & UK had a wonderful deal. Perhaps behind the scenes he feels the unification of Ireland would be a good idea.
    60
  16. That is a good point.
    58
  17. @AntiAntiSepticUK Didn’t take long for race to appear.
    57
  18.  @5starlifestyle555  China has a one child per family for decades. If they hadn’t the world’s population would be even larger.
    56
  19. It was mentioned at aprox 3 mins 50 seconds. Perhaps watch all the way trough before commenting.
    55
  20.  @randylahey2607 No matter why they are doing it. They are behaving like helmets. So best call them helmets.
    53
  21.  @slwide7507 My car and motorcycles were construct in another country. But I have them.
    52
  22. Already happening on US Republican states.
    50
  23. Zelensky has said he would like peace. Has Putin lost his voice ?
    44
  24.  @mkaz3997 It’s not a job for the police. It’s Border Force has that responsibility. The same unless it’s dangerous the police no longer deal with parking.
    43
  25. Europe has a well developed defence industry. They can order from there rather than support US industries.
    43
  26.  @retro1980x  They are possibly smart enough to avoid a criminal record for assault.
    42
  27.  @e.m.doherty723  Ukrainians are fighting for their country. Not a politician.
    40
  28. So of the marching looks a bit iffy.
    40
  29. As the report says. President Trump was OK with the use of land mines.
    39
  30.  @Steve4TheWin  Most of the eight billion people can relate the metric measurements. The areas that use feet & inches are dwindling. If you want most of the world to understand use metric measurements.
    38
  31. I remember dog licenses. Can’t remember why the U.K. dropped them.
    37
  32. Very few of my friends & relatives haven’t been vaccinated. I don’t know of a single one who has suddenly died.
    37
  33. Didn’t Trump instruct Republicans to block the border bill ? Making sure that for him the border is the gift that keeps on giving.
    36
  34. The U.S. doesn’t appear to be the leader in much at this stage.
    35
  35. Loomer is playing him like a fish.
    35
  36.  @harveymoment Exactly what the poster wrote.
    34
  37. The BBC keep saying that Gaza is mostly civilian.
    34
  38. The non Muslim inhabitants will be interested to hear the answer.
    34
  39. Evidence needs to be collected before action can be taken.
    34
  40. I thought that Russia was already fully sanctioned.
    33
  41. Not sure why anyone would vote Trump.
    33
  42.  @lyn8704 President Biden has always had a stutter.
    32
  43. 19 months that’s £19,000 pounds it will cost taxpayers.
    29
  44. Not just Heathrow apparently 5,000 houses also without power.
    27
  45. At one time I worked at a group of rural workshops. One of the shops purchased vehicles that the insurance companies said were beyond economical repair. They would carry out ‘economical’ repairs & sell them on.
    26
  46. What I heard was repeated don’t touch her. Also she is not the same age as you.
    26
  47.  @hat9172  President Biden is helping regain the world’s respect for the US.
    25
  48. Can’t see the problem. They were told don’t do anything that needs a TV licence. They check every couple of years & that’s it.
    25
  49.  @blackzero786  Sorry sunshine. The U.K. could not have ended up with either as King. You don’t appear to have a proper idea of how succession works in the U.K.
    25
  50. Did they have enough evidence to hold him. If not they would have needed to let him go.
    24
  51. Remember no lies. Just alternative truths.
    24
  52. That comedian as you call him has held off the mighty Russian war machine for over three years. President Putin must be ashamed.
    24
  53.  @justinchop5531 Biden can’t be blamed for predatory lenders. Can’t be blamed for people buying what they can’t afford either. Cars this time 2008 residential properties.
    23
  54. Please tell me what can the UN do ?
    23
  55. Looks like it’s not just Korea. My late farther was one of 13. One of my classes in secondary school has one chap with eleven brothers & sisters. Another had eight.
    23
  56. But Boris Johnson said vote leave for a health service with money coming out of it’s ears. So there can’t be a shortage of cash.
    23
  57.  @ghosthusler Israel has had nuclear weapons for at least 30 years.
    22
  58. My late father was one of 13. Seven made it to 21. The rest died of things that these days could be stopped by vaccines.
    22
  59. @ President Trump told us and the world he could finish the war. Turns out he can’t.
    22
  60.  @-goldandlink- Putin has said so. Signed a decree on live TV saying he is going to take back some small counties that were part of the Soviet Union. He also signed to say that the sale of Alaska was illegal. He promised to return it to Russian control. Can he afford to let his people down ?
    22
  61. Has anyone told the police it’s happening ?
    22
  62.  @thetexorcist2235  Up to you my son. I tend to use both. That way a greater number of people can understand what I am talking about. If you use gallons do you let people know if you are referring to US or Imperial gallons ?
    22
  63. @ The UK is not ruled by a dictator.
    21
  64. I don’t have to imagine. The BBC is one of the places I go for news.
    21
  65. I remember Polio. People dead, in iron lungs and walking with the help of leg irons. Many things like swimming baths closed during the Polio Season. Not sure I would like to see its nationwide return.
    21
  66. Wrong. Chinese fireworks can’t be legally sold in the U.K. They were banned over a decade ago. A business needs a licence to sell fireworks. Selling banned fire works will loose you your license & possibly prosecution.
    20
  67. The toll was ended some years ago. ( I think when the toll booths were removed ) What we have now is the ‘Dart Charge’ It’s a congestion charge.
    20
  68. Shops, private areas etc can just refuse entry without giving a reason. They don’t need to say anything to justify it.
    20
  69. There has also been a private high tech search team in. They said definitely no one in that stretch of the river.
    20
  70. I asked a Brit on holiday in Germany the same question. Answer. Don’t mind what it’s costing. The U.K. has it’s sovereignty back & that’s all that matters.
    20
  71. Speak for yourself. The BBC is one of my go to channels.
    19
  72. Not everyone wishes to be in the USA. I definitely don’t want to live there. Two months later & Dark Brandon appears to be turning the place around. Perhaps the US can turn good.
    19
  73.  @blackzero786  Dictatorship in the U.K. ? You really don’t know a lot about about the U.K. I don’t think many living there will be impressed.
    19
  74. I believe that according to international law people wishing asylum must claim it in the first safe country they reach. Belarus must be seen as safe or they would not have gone there. The bulk of them on tourist visas. They are now in Belarus it is up to Belarus to process any asylum claims.
    19
  75. You would not get a house. The regular outcome is that any relationship has broken down. You are homeless & jobless. At best find yourself in a halfway house. If you really think there is a house coming you are going to be disappointed.
    18
  76. How many bots signed via VPNs.
    18
  77. I have just watched a YouTube vid that showed more the lack of GOP support. They called for his resignation. Unfortunately it appears that they can’t force him into it.
    18
  78.  @D-GRhythms Yep. That sums up the Russians quite nicely.
    18
  79. @@user-nz7ir2zh4u Yep. I help pay their wages & I expect them to ID wrong doers. No matter who they are. That includes road users.
    18
  80.  @johnmolina3284  At least he appears to believe in equality.
    18
  81. Perhaps the west coast states would like to join Canada. After all they already get on well.
    18
  82. Sorry to have to say this. Isreal is not exactly innocent when it comes to the West Bank.
    18
  83.  @favourbridgette1939  Your sky fairy is mythical just like all the others.
    18
  84.  @thepagecollective  The Brits. Apparently told vote Leave for a Golden Dawn leading to an age of prosperity. Have they been lied too ? Looks like the answer is yes.
    18
  85. Israel has said they are likely to shoot down any planes doing that.
    17
  86. @ The use of VPN can make a signature look like it’s from the U.K. Bot farms are supposed to well used to employing VPN.
    17
  87. I am pretty sure the RSPCA would fight any type putting dogs down through the courts. Why not make it a condition of ownership that they be muzzled in public.
    17
  88. @sds3454Yes.
    17
  89.  @mariajurgens9889  Show us those photos. It’s time to put up or shut up.
    17
  90. The Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland can do many things that the U.K. can’t because they are still in the EU. huginnn muninn does not appear to twigged the fact we are out or he would not be making the suggestion that private enterprise can do this that & the other because they can’t do those things. Unfortunately the U.K. is now beginning to suffer the results of voting leave. I and many others could see problems with Brexit. The majority disagreed even demonising us by calling Project Fear.
    17
  91. Plenty more customers in the sea.
    17
  92. Yet people call them the HAMAS Broadcasting Corporation.
    17
  93. @ You are correct a large part of the world is laughing at Trump.
    17
  94. After there own actions Russia has a bit of a cheek coming out with statements like this.
    17
  95. Dark Brandon mugs are appearing in Europe.
    16
  96. Looks like the police handled a tricky situation with tact. Did not wind it up to another level.
    16
  97. 22nd October. Yesterday I watched our Nigel on stage at a Donald Trump rally. Nowhere near Clacton.
    16
  98. These day less & less U.K. TV is supplied through areal or dish. Many smart TVs won’t fully work without an internet connection. A U.K. friend says that. According the the sales people in a nearby shopping centre Sky Glass is totally internet. It appears that U.K. ISPs have to keep a log of their customers usage for five years. So anyone in the U.K. using an internet connection for TV could one day find they are in trouble.
    16
  99.  @BIPOCperson  Who do you think has nazi battalions ?
    16
  100. Far left ? You are pulling my leg.
    16
  101. Saying that makes you sound undereducated.
    16
  102.  @UKMusicCharts-UK It’s mostly JSO filming. Aiming to gather evidence of them being assaulted.
    16
  103. Someone trying to stop a small European war while starting a world war.
    16
  104. Who is we ?
    15
  105.  @curtisducati  Why did a Conservative administration change the law to make it illegal for asylum seekers to work. Also illegal for anyone to employ them ?
    15
  106. I had not realised that President Putin is a religious leader.
    15
  107. Tucker Carlson called it a fake war. He seems to have missed something.
    15
  108. I find it surprising that people who think causing disruption is legitimate complain when they don’t get their own way.
    15
  109. Have you tried watching BBC iPlayer in Europe ? Trying normally brings up a message saying. Content not available in this territory. That even applies for people with a UK BBC account. Can’t answer for the rest of the world.
    15
  110. That was not an EV.
    15
  111. Are you really sure the Post Office is still State owned ? I seem to remember that a German company is at least part owner.
    15
  112. Good. Don’t think bigotry will be missed.
    15
  113.  @ShakesSphere A road was there before the sandpit. The road has not gone in over an old pit.
    15
  114. I see it as a well balanced report. Did you not watch to the end ?
    15
  115.  @Andrea.583  I have worked in retail over four decades. The general consensus of opinion is that people who want to come the awkward squad are better off gone.
    15
  116.  @kevinb9830 He can have a Nat West account but apparently prefers to be play the victim.
    15
  117. The U.K. has seen Poland as being in Central Europe since the fall of the Soviet Union.
    14
  118.  @MrCarloszeca  It’s claimed that no one has the power make George Santos resign. Many apparently GOP people are reportedly saying they won’t work with him. But that does not change the fact that he has been elected.
    14
  119. Just a small solar panel/battery set up will charge many phones.
    14
  120. Looking from outside the US how does someone’s race appear to affect the value of their vote ?
    14
  121.  @mkaz3997  I am saying that the final decision is with the courts. But it’s the police are required to investigate.
    14
  122.  @nicolasbuzzbuzz1079  I took out my first mortgage in 1965. It was a 25 year mortgage which I remember was normal for the U.K. at the time.
    14
  123. So if an alert arrives on the TV/radio saying the local flood barrier has overtopped you will be ignoring it.
    14
  124. Nothing stopping you from taking a nap.
    14
  125.  @The-Way-Watchmen  Would they be there if it was ?
    14
  126. A camera near the equator will have no chance of seeing anything landing near the South Pole.
    14
  127. Seems an a lot of fuss for bit of paint.
    14
  128. Wars always stimulate economic activity. WW2 proved very beneficial for the USA. This one should benefit the IMF.
    14
  129.  @cosmicwartoad2587  Now you are just being silly.
    14
  130. OK. What is the full story.
    14
  131.  @whoimia5208 Doesn’t the US have the lowest inflation of the G7 ?
    14
  132. As far as I understand the law you can not be forced to incriminate yourself. You have just done it yourself.
    14
  133. I have started seeing our Nigel as just another internet prankster. Does it for attention.
    13
  134.  @michaelzero5144 Apparently not very good at casinos either.
    13
  135. Former President Trump also has golf course north of Aberdeen, Scotland. He is reportedly having legal problems surrounding the promises he made to obtain planing Permits to build it.
    13
  136. 3D printing has become mainstream. No longer something to shout about.
    13
  137. In this case it’s the Buddhist who are the main aggressors.
    13
  138. Christians can be nasty. But we don’t know if there is a religious aspect at this stage.
    13
  139. The woman with the megaphone. Sounds like her family have been engaged in a lot of traveling.
    13
  140. Don’t remember them saying that. For one thing they normally report leaving people to make up their own mind. Like they have done this time.
    13
  141. Correct. It’s time Putin gave up.
    13
  142.  @kingtualah9808  The US is no longer in a position to control any other country.
    13
  143. Is it going to be the same golden age. Promised to the Brits by Nigel Farage when they voted for Brexit.
    13
  144. Perhaps watch the piece again. The reason was spelt out.
    13
  145. Who cares about what the US thinks.
    13
  146.  @123452315  What has the number of dead got to do with someone being dismissed from the BBC.
    13
  147.  @bendlor I took it as a joke.
    13
  148. It’s time Putin went home and started to pay reparations.
    13
  149. See the Russians are out of bed.
    13
  150. Good to hear it has closed possibly permanently. It will mean that we European’s will need to get our act together instead of relying on President Putin’s goodwill.
    12
  151.  @richjones4956  The people in charge apparently have & they are up for it.
    12
  152. It is GBNews.
    12
  153. On about a level with Jews.
    12
  154. The base vehicle only comes as a diesel.
    12
  155. Which maps are showing that ? I don’t see any.
    12
  156. It’s time Putin went home and started paying reparations.
    12
  157.  @dirkboch128  Exactly. So what ? But people built by rivers for all sorts of reasons before the industrial age. They needed to be on the river to run water mills. Have water for tanning, prepping cloth, getting rid of sewage etc. at the time there wasn’t an expectation that upstream rivers would be straitened & dredged increasing the flood risk.
    12
  158.  @Wolfy11188  Possibly tip off the tax people. It was the revenue have taken down many people.
    12
  159. Does each one come with a Mother in Law.
    12
  160. I have driven just over 700 km without stopping on a number of occasions. But not with the wife in the car. Max with her is about 300 km.
    12
  161.  @FBAExapt  Taking back gifts. Doesn’t sound very Christian. Plus very little cash. Largely stuff that had been sitting on store. A lot of it obsolete. Sending it to Ukraine possibly cheaper than scratching it.
    12
  162.  @Mog435  It’s at least two years since I heard from them. Have you done anything to trigger suspicion ?
    12
  163. @ I know it as the West Bank.
    12
  164. It is not The Gulf of America. It’s The Gulf of Mexico. Nobody is lying when they call it that.
    12
  165. I understand that the EU has said they cannot let an independent Scotland into the EU. Scotland has relatively few inhabitants. The border complications aren’t worth letting Scotland join.
    12
  166.  @croissantpower Cars, vans, lorries etc have defo been used as weapons.
    12
  167.  @markymark7803 They were too late to stop it. Plus you have become Global Britain & are obliged to follow International Law. International Law says you are stuffed.
    12
  168. A lot different in Europe. The majority of drivers still have the ability to drive a manual.
    12
  169.  @RogerMellie-yk3gw President of the United States.
    12
  170. Not doing a very good job so far.
    12
  171. Putin the opportunist. Told the world he would not & then attacked
    12
  172. Made breaking news many times. Sorry you missed it.
    12
  173. Why do I not believe you.
    12
  174. Plenty of that being shown on the BBC. Can’t work out how you’re missed it..
    12
  175.  @snowyowel7961  Have you looked at the First Ministers of Scotland & Wales lately.
    12
  176. Smiling because she had good news. He did not die.
    12
  177. I don’t remember the internet saying it’s impossible. Only that it happens much less often than the USA. USA politicians have stated their school shooting need to be seen as a fact of life. Not like that in Europe.
    12
  178. Reporter says there’s a number you can call. What is it ?
    12
  179. Poor Nigel. Cutting down the amount of immigrants is just what he doesn’t want. Because for him they are the gift that keeps on giving.
    12
  180.  @rivertonhigh-v4t  You are free to believe that. Others believe differently. As the man with the wooden leg said. When it come down to it it’s. A matter of a pinion.
    11
  181. The police possibly did the Republic people a favour. Fist because they received tens of thousands of free publicity. The public have been complaining about the amount of police protection lock on protesters have been getting. At the time of the Coronation the police did not have the resources to give protection to stop them getting a good kicking. Getting them out of the way. Effectively to a place of safety was the most effective way available of protecting them from the chance of being injured.
    11
  182. So many erroneously think that Musk was Tesla’s founder. He did not found Tesla.
    11
  183. Anyone who may feel that part of the reason for the Luxembourg trip taking three days could had something to do with the France Luxembourg border may be interested to know. The border posts were closed decades ago. Luxembourg has good motorways & the fuel at the service stations is much cheaper than in the surrounding counties. The same goes for tobacco & booze. A detour through Luxembourg can save you money.
    11
  184. Things the family said about doctors were totally out of order.
    11
  185. I certainly believe them. Are you saying this problem is not real ?
    11
  186.  @collincovid6950  BBB just explained the situation to you. Do you have a more comprehensive understanding of the law or are just making it up.
    11
  187. I’m a U.K. pensioner. I keep being told I am doing too well.
    11
  188. Looks like a very good series. The chaps appear to be enjoying themselves. Well done Royal Enfield for their support. I have a soft spot for Enfield. I rode a Crusader Sports in the U.K. early 1960s.
    11
  189.  @howhistory5877  Also contain oxygen & flammable anaesthetic bottles. Either rupturing during a fire could cause an explosion.
    11
  190. I am not at all sure that President Putin is bothered what a few hundred disaffected soldiers think. They can be dealt with later.
    11
  191.  @GIBBO4182 The BBC have covered the Bradford killing. On the net. BBC TV & Radio.

  194. Yep. Glad this is out as a reminder.
    11
  195. I am working class I don’t like Trump. His support for Putin is disgraceful.
    11
  196. If someone is in a country on a tourist visa & they then decide they need asylum. Doesn’t international law require them to claim it in that country ?
    11
  197. David has just called him out.
    11
  198. Perhaps too late by then.
    11
  199.  @Stardust_Truth_Seeker  Best of luck with that. Over 200,000 on one of the Aldermaston marches but they did not get rid of the bomb. But I do admire your optimism. But fear that it is misplaced.
    11
  200.  @candieland4276 He keeps trying to imply that there has been a drop in standards. There hasn’t.
    10
  201. I don’t remember either saying that
    10
  202. Some years. Possibility 15 or so Warwickshire County Council placed a few bins for recycling of electrical items in each town. The bins were emptied once a month. Unfortunately they kept being broken into. The perps took what they wanted left a lot of mess lying around. This led to complaints so they removed them.
    10
  203. Is it a little worrisome that so many people have reached a verdict on very little evidence.
    10
  204. I don’t agree.

  205. Why do so many people turn to the BBC to find out what’s going down in US elections ?
    10
  206.  @paulprescott7913  Fine. I am sticking to diesel for the present.
    10
  207. But she didn’t live with those kids. Her ex~husband had a restraining order. Keeping her away from them.
    10
  208.  @cherryrotella3714  The banks job is make a profit. Customers are just a means to an end.
    10
  209. Why did this little group remind me of Rent a Mob.
    10
  210. Will putting people in what is essentially an open prison ship deter others from crossing the channel ?
    10
  211.  @johnmolina3284  It’s called equality.
    10
  212.  @henrydaley1255 You might as well be quoting for Lord of the Rings. It would have just as much relevance.
    10
  213. Plenty of reports about Syria on the BBC. If you don’t catch them at the time. You will find plenty on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
    10
  214. Do you think this isn’t real. That it’s filmed on the BBC’s back lot. .?
    10
  215. Having people in vehicles to back them up sounds feasible.
    10
  216.  @KrasszTV  No other way with Sky Glass. Plus as you say live TV is becoming even more dependent on broadband. It may or may not be important but. Our ISPs are required by law. ( Something to do with anti terror laws. ) to keep our usage logs for five years. How long before the TV licence people get access to that data.
    10
  217. Bo-Jo told the world that he had negotiated a wonderful deal with the Northern Ireland protocol. How can he even think of now saying it’s a bad deal ? When the English voted leave did they hope it would get rid of the troublesome Northern Ireland. Hive it off to the south. How keen are the south to have them ?
    10
  218. Your video is just ideal for helping to obtain the funding to gate this cave/mine. Without it the powers that be are unlikely to believe that a group so ill equipped would enter somewhere that you yourself describe as very dangerous. Could even trigger the gating of other mines/caves. It's cheaper & easier to just gate somewhere like that than it is to mount an emergency rescue.
    10
  219. The young lady missed a trick. I always ask which god ? With the different religions there are at least a dozen on the go.
    10
  220. Perhaps move toward the European model of health care.
    10
  221. My understanding is that many of these people trying to invade Poland are in Belarus on tourist visas. If they wish to ask for asylum they should do it in Belarus. They must see it as a safe country or they would not apply for a visa.
    10
  222. The base vehicle only comes as a diesel. I don’t know of a single converter who produces ambulances from an EV base. I also don’t know of a single EV that would be suitable to convert to an ambulance.
    10
  223. If former President Trump gets in next time he may just hand over half of Alaska to keep the Russians quiet.
    10
  224. I am a little surprised that Tucker saying he supports someone associated with trafficking children.
    10
  225.  @NoWindNoSunNoPower Ice cores records go back a long way & can’t be fudged.
    10
  226. So what ?
    10
  227. This Proud Boy certainly has a vivid imagination. Pity for him he has no substance to back it up. All mouth & no trousers.
    10
  228. The country’s non Muslim inhabitants will be interested in the answer.
    10
  229.  @truth4004  Most scientists do not perform animal testing.
    10
  230. Joe was getting slow. But he had a cracking team behind him.
    10
  231. They can be phased out. At the ballet box. But when the likes of Our George are voted in I wonder if it will happen.
    10
  232. Are you talking about what some call. The HAMMAS Broadcasting Corporation ?
    10
  233. How on earth can rain in Scotland help fill English reservoirs.
    10
  234. World news.
    10
  235.  @paulsynnott2709  According to the Brit her whole group did not give a monkey’s that they were worse off. It had been something they had considered but voted leave. They appeared to be single issue voters. That single issue was out.
    10
  236. Perhaps the Bank of England could be the chosen bank. Why should shareholder owned banks be stuck with people they don’t want. After all you be refused service in a shop etc. & they don’t need to give a reason.
    10
  237. As someone who lives outside the USA I find it surprising that judges can be political appointees.
    10
  238. @ Have you never hot wired an electrical appliance.
    10
  239. Plenty of that on BBC radio, TV and online. Can’t really understand how you have missed it.
    10
  240. Why shame. The BBC are reporting what’s happening on the ground.
    9
  241. In that case perhaps it doesn’t.
    9
  242. I am begging him to stop Russia from overrunning the country.
    9
  243. It’s world news.
    9
  244.  @ClarinoI  Sorry can’t agree. I used to travel up the M40 then right up the M42 to Tamworh. Between the M40 & M6 Toll I often encountered stop start traffic with the occasional rear ender which made things worse. They installed the overhead temp speed limits. Yes we were often traveling at 50mph but we kept going. Same on the way back. Even if it only saved five minutes each journey that’s 50 minutes a week.
    9
  245. Ukraine. We can’t walk on by while people are being attacked. Don’t let them be bullied.
    9
  246. Looks like you have provided evidence that Wales needs to spend more on policing.
    9
  247.  @bobjames6622  May I respectfully ask the same of you. When the National Speed Limit was introduced in the mid 1960s it was 70mph on all roads except where a lower speed had been posted. Before that there wasn’t a National Speed Limit.
    9
  248. Migrants are helping.
    9
  249.  @audreyw115  Not assault with a friendly weapon.
    9
  250. Which part of America. It’s a large continent.
    9
  251. Sound advice.
    9
  252. In 1949 I caught TB, they suspected from raw milk. I lead to missing 17 months school.
    9
  253. Thy are not taking money from USAID. Why would they ?
    9
  254. I feel sure that a powerful, powerful like you won’t believe Donald Trump will be able to tell Putin. Withdraw and start paying reparations.
    9
  255. None of these gods exist.
    9
  256. I would take legal advice before withholding my Counsel Tax.
    9
  257.  @jb76489  The U.K. is apparently talking about out of town mini nuclear stations. Like submarine nuclear only larger. Fusion was claimed to be ten years away. That was way back in 1963.
    9
  258. Why does the US seem so bent on self destruction ?
    9
  259.  @robclayton9612  I did not know about the consultation. One thing that does concern me is. Before taking my driving test in 1960 I took advice to ‘learn’ the Highway Code. Something you could do in those days. Plus when changes came about they would be mentioned in a flyer that came with a new tax disk. It seems to have stood me in stead. Getting on to 500,000 miles on four wheels plus around 200,000 miles on two & I still have all my bits. Many of us have seen instances were even fully trained traffic officers are not fully conversant with the law. What chance do the rest of us have.
    9
  260. NATO did not. A NATO member may have done but not NATO.
    9
  261. Didn’t Nigel tell you vote leave the EU and with it the Dublin agreement so you cannot send anyone back. Did he mess up or did he know it would increase the crossings. Providing him with the gift that keeps on giving ?
    9
  262. I went onto the TV licensing web site. Reported license not needed. That must have been nearly 18 months ago. Not heard anything since. The site said should hear again in about two years. It did stop the letters.
    9
  263.  @colinwhite15  Again what has fishing permits & license have to do with the need for a TV license ?
    9
  264. Ice cream is always good.
    9
  265.  @Mr-J... Easy. Just let them know you don’t do anything that needs one . Their contract with the Government requires them to check every couple of years but that’s about it.
    9
  266. She’s complaining about have to carry her cases up many flights of stairs. How many posh hotels don’t have lifts.
    9
  267. I did that sort of thing many years ago. I ended up more embarrassed than terrified.
    9
  268. How can the cutting what is only 5% of supply. Be called blackmail ? After all the EU has had a year to prepare.
    9
  269.  @robertcreighton4635 it’s also been reported on BBC TV. Also BBC Radio.
    9
  270.  @Sabhoh  No one in the UK is forced to do anything that requires a TV licence. It’s a personal choice. Unlike many countries where the cost of their National Broadcaster comes from general taxation. The U.K. should be pleased they have choice. Instead they moan.
    9
  271.  @robgargiulo9641  You are mistaken my son. He is a very capable person.
    9
  272. Citation needed ref doctors refusing to provide exemption.
    9
  273. Travel internationally and you will find they are far from open.
    9
  274. I have worked on the spanners in both used car & new car dealerships. Back in the 60s & 70s in the used dealers I would rebuild engines & gearboxes. There used to be specialist engineering firms for machining engine parts. Those shops have more or less disappeared. These days new vehicle dealers contracts with the manufacturers. Holding them to providing warranties on work carried out. The only way to achieve that to use factory supplied parts. In practice this means exchange engines, gearboxes etc. These days I can’t even pop into my cars local dealers parts department. I now have to email them & wait for their reply. Even if asked they don’t quote parts prices. Only quoting supply & fit.
    9
  275. It’s apparently much the same in the USA.
    9
  276.  @gladysamundsen6796 Not sure Gaza civilians would agree with that.
    9
  277. Not a very Christian approach.
    9
  278.  @dr.g3860 Aren’t the media supposed report. Isn’t it up to us to to pick the bones out of it.
    9
  279. Got to stay cheerful. Those Stormshadows are really solid. I have sat on one. Made sure no one lit the blue torch paper.
    9
  280. I see two benefits to the suspended sentence system. One. It gives people time to reflect on what they have done while having the threat of prison hanging over them. Two. It can end up saving the tax payer a lot of money.
    9
  281. I believe that that many countries advice to their citizens is respect the laws in any country you visit. It’s largely a waste of time to come crying if you fall foul of them.
    9
  282. I for one am glad that little Ms Poison is no long Home Secretary.
    9
  283.  @jackthereaper4462  Yes he is an excellent fellow.
    9
  284. In Europe maps inc Apple Maps call it by its name. The Gulf of Mexico. Someone who could not stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons has no right to tell the world what to call it.
    9
  285.  @danielbast352  Keeps people in work.
    9
  286. Why would Elon be bothered about Tesla. He has the U.S.
    9
  287. What illegal immigration are you talking about ?
    9
  288. Yep. Patience with their own underperforming war machine.
    9
  289. Will you be coming back to tell us ?
    9
  290.  @lynchetts That does not sound at all funny.
    9
  291.  @Plackomiot  But if you watch TV adds etc. it’s all about images & emotions. How many punters would be bothered with anything deeper.
    9
  292.  @Baraxes That is the opposite of something said a few comments ago.
    9
  293. Bo-Bo sounds more like Mike Pillow every day.
    9
  294.  @jeffreymiller6847 Biden is not giving them a free pass.
    9
  295. No shortage off BBC reports on what is happening In Palestinian. Both Gaza & the West Bank.
    8
  296. Yep. As the BBC just reported the climate is changing & its effects seem to be impacting more people.
    8
  297.  @fred1642  You jest my son. RT have been telling fibs for years.
    8
  298.  @infrasleep  Not to me it isn’t. Please help me out.
    8
  299. Good job the Labour government has just done that
    8
  300. Not surprised some people are not keen on him. He is partly the architect of the number of boat people you have arriving.
    8
  301. Not watching the BBC does not mean you may not need a licence.
    8
  302.  @m4d-fx Davos is a really quite small ski resort. Where could they put 28,000 people.
    8
  303. Where can I fact check that claim.
    8
  304.  @darthfader733  It’s time Putin the aggressor went home and paid for all the damage caused. Because of his lack of judgment starting it. He is an embarrassment
    8
  305. Has the rest of the world advanced enough to star just ignoring the U.S ?
    8
  306. But you are still here. Earning them money.
    8
  307. One thing not made clear. Had she been given a quote for the work or just an estimate. I ask because there is a small but important difference between the two.
    8
  308. At least watching the truckers behaving like headless chickens is good for a laugh.
    8
  309. Yet another enquiry would kick the can further down the road.
    8
  310.  @PrasadHalebidu  I have not realised that the UK is a superpower.
    8
  311.  @djkoxi2154  Can I take it they are a fully qualified mind reader.
    8
  312. What a load of tosh.
    8
  313. So what ?
    8
  314. @ The video did not claim that. It is pretty clear to me that it was mostly Ukrainians. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise.
    8
  315. This is not an EV. The base vehicle only comes in diesel. They are then converted into ambulances. I also don’t know of a single base vehicle that is suitable to be converted into an EV.
    8
  316. Jimmy Savile was widely trusted. He also had his own bedroom & open access even sets of keys to more than one NHS hospital.
    8
  317. Tesla sales in U.K. reportedly 20% up in the U.K. Possibly down to lack of choice.
    8
  318. Well said.
    8
  319. Trump won’t have to running the Administration. He can be off playing golf while the 2025 people run the show.
    8
  320. Judging by the number of Dark Brandon mugs I see President Biden is respected in Europe.
    8
  321. Our Nigel told the world that the EU is nasty, nasty. Vote leave & Global Britain will experience a golden dawn. Others said vote leave to have health service with money coming out of its ears. What I don’t remember was. Vote leave to also take the U.K. out of the Dublin Agreement which will cut the UK’s ability to send people back to the EU.
    8
  322. A vaccine is available. Has been for a while.
    8
  323.  @bonvivant567  I am surprised that Presidents Trump can’t stop WW3. But then thought about it. He can’t even stop a little European war.
    8
  324. It doesn’t help when the President appears to endorse hate.
    8
  325.  @mmastereve519 Well said.
    8
  326.  @sammyjohn9353 I am a great grandad. I don’t have a problem with Starmer.
    8
  327. Because the EU will not just walk on by while a European country is being attacked.
    8
  328. Aren’t most of California’s forests Federal not State forests ? Something I believe pointed out at the time of the fires. Did Trump send the National Guard to release millions of gallons of water that just ran away ?
    8
  329. Russia would have just the same opportunity.
    8
  330. I always thought aWOKEn describes someone who has aWOKEn to social inequality. What’s so hard about that.
    8
  331.  @jeffssearchforknowledge9931  Don’t do parties. They tend to be full airheads.
    8
  332. The lad next door had it back in the late 1950s. It left him partially blind.
    8
  333.  @MrSatnavatron  Did you delete it because you didn’t like the answers ?
    8
  334. Was MTG counting on being escorted out. Did she have a camera team ready. Possibly aiming to upstage The President ?
    8
  335.  @MattyEngland  He had no right to touching anything. Seen his antics before. He is the sort that gives you Brits a bad name. People backing him just makes it worse.
    8
  336. Helping to protect some who are under attack.
    8
  337. The BBC have reported on that. It’s a pity that you don’t have enough time in your day.
    8
  338.  @tomriley5790  You are correct it is an offence. But apart from the law the maximum penalty is death.
    8
  339.  @MrVidman14  Many of the young & once young have been helped up by the Princes Trust & Duke of Edinburgh Awards. They and others feel that The King is very relevant.
    8
  340. Don’t forget the public also has a go at companies. Bud Light just one example.
    8
  341. it is being dealt with the cargo is being unloaded.
    8
  342. Reform. Basically the same people who brought Brexit,
    8
  343. @Ste Srad Why not ?
    8
  344. I find it surprising that groups that feel that causing disruption as legitimate complain when their life’s are disturbed.
    8
  345.  @NickBFTD  Dams in this situation are a disaster waiting to happen. They get overtopped. The face erodes bringing danger of collapse.
    8
  346.  @adamfirst9321 I don’t believe she had been telling anything near the truth.
    8
  347. She hadn’t been doing the mother role for some time.
    8
  348.  @paulpaul9914  I agree it was right to involve the police. Can’t see why people were upset they were.
    8
  349. I don’t think 2025 is going to be a horror.
    8
  350. I did not hear the workers being blamed. Possible poor training was mentioned.
    8
  351. I found it a little underwhelming.
    8
  352. I have watched a number of US commentators on this. Sorry to say you appear to be correct.
    8
  353. Just one more reason why people are really starting to distrust social media. Which to my mind is a good thing
    8
  354. Providing US employment. Much better than handouts.
    7
  355. God does not exist.
    7
  356. The climate has changed since the Earth formed. Nothing to do with humans.
    7
  357. The army are there. Seen in previous BBC video.
    7
  358. Why are there only 100 people here sounds like a perfectly reasonable question.
    7
  359. But they don’t need to understand. What they do need is their voter base to not know.
    7
  360.  @mikej365  Have you not noticed. A person, even after arrest is often referred to as. ‘The alleged whatever.’ Rather than by name. Mentioning a name followed by a lot of speculation is in danger of prejudicing the chance of them receiving a fair trial. This could lead to them not going to trial. End up with justice not being served. If it turns out not to be them could even lead to the named claiming damages from whoever had been spreading their ID.
    7
  361. If contracts have been signed it the least expensive option may be to carry on using the barges.
    7
  362. I thought that Congress Members were expected to set a good example.
    7
  363. Not enough people even believe there is a climate problem. Even fewer intend doing anything about it. I have decided to say sod it. Let’s enjoy the party while it lasts.
    7
  364. What loss. News makes them money.
    7
  365. Hence the reason for research.
    7
  366. Has it reached the stage with Donald Trump the the rest of the world may start ignoring the USA.
    7
  367. Bought and paid for by U.K. TV licence holders. ( The public )
    7
  368. Perhaps a price increase will be required. To pay for repairs needed due to sabotage.
    7
  369. Did the police have evidence enough to hold him. Looks like they perhaps did not.
    7
  370. Sod all to do with Cultural Enrichment. It goes back to Birmingham failure to pay people properly in the past. Left them with a huge deficit.
    7
  371. He has even supplied video evidence.
    7
  372.  @YorkGod1  Houses have been built on floodplains for centuries.
    7
  373. Unfortunately that is one of the things that can fuel further inflation.
    7
  374. Europe has supported Ukraine. Even to the extent of supplying fighter jets.
    7
  375.  @Pimpernicholas  If point A is Paris & point B is Porto which EV could cover the distance in a shorter time than an ICE vehicle ?
    7
  376. I wonder how may of the crowd had watched President Biden’s speech ? Realised that Trump misrepresented its tone & content.
    7
  377. I believe you will find the officers have done their job & she will taken to court later. We don’t know that she didn’t end up in prison again.
    7
  378. Has Kari Lake forgotten the KKK who have been around since long before President Obama.
    7
  379.  @stevetaylor8698  The bakery gave a reason. That was their mistake. Should have just said they did not want the work & left it at that. That way there is nothing to complain about. Part of customer facing training is. Turn a potential customer away but don’t ever give a reason.
    7
  380. Guns. Another reason why some in the world think the US has lost its way.
    7
  381.  @tinotendakunaishe7952 But who wants to visit the USA after being advised to leave your normal phone at home and take a burner phone.
    7
  382. You could send people back. But the U.K. actually voted to end that by leaving the EU & with it the Dublin agreement. You are now Global Britain. International law says theses people are your responsibility. As a member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage knew this. For him those boats are the gift that keeps on giving.
    7
  383.  @briannave7326  So what. No one is espousing communism.
    7
  384. I have two questions. One who paid for the hospital trip. Two are TicToc allowed to encourage anti social behaviour in China.
    7
  385. Which god it that. There are so many it’s difficult to know which one.
    7
  386. The BBC hasn’t done anything to give me the idea that Russia had run out of ammunition. Rather they reported that Russians are getting supplies from many countries.
    7
  387. So what ?
    7
  388. If it’s any consolation the British voted for Brexit. That’s not working out well either.
    7
  389. @paulhhpaulHe has been convicted. More than once. Like many other internet pranksters.
    7
  390. Bring on some cooler weather. I can’t enjoy the heat here in a UK midlands city. It’s hot enough to affect my health.
    7
  391.  @7reload777  If you don’t do anything that needs a TV license you don’t need one. Much the same as driving, fishing, a gun license, Private Pilot’s License etc. I keeps saying giving people the option appears to cause discontent. Why not take the cost of the National Broadcaster out of taxation ? Works in Russia. I don’t hear complaints from there.
    7
  392. Why ? The BBC is not there as a censor.
    7
  393. Does the world need to bother about the U.S. anymore. Has the world moved on enough to ignore it ?
    7
  394. Why would Elon be bothered about Tesla ? He has the U.S..
    7
  395. It’s looking more and more like the invasion of Ukraine was a very poor decision.
    7
  396. Is this discrimination. I had the same problem were they did not want to take my money until I removed my helmet. I said that I had tried to pay & if they would not take my payment I would just leave. The cashier finally took my money but banded me for life. I did not leave it at that I wrote to them asking them if they would tell a muslin woman to remove her face covering before taking her money ? If they would not they would be guilty of discrimination. I said if the rule did not change I would take it further. About a month later the ‘must remove crash helmet’ signs had gone.
    7
  397. Would he have ever had the courage to shower with other men.
    7
  398. Didn’t Donald Trump order Republicans to block Biden’s Border Bill.
    7
  399. The 787 has flown over a billion passenger miles. This is the first fatal accident.
    7
  400.  @jwsuicides8095  People with dementia are often covered by The Court of Protection. Making it more difficult for them to be scammed. It also helps one or more of the family bleeding their bank account etc.The persons medical practitioner will recommend the courts involvement. Our family followed that advice for my late father.
    7
  401. I live in the U.K. I don’t think it a sh1t hole. Not sure how anyone gets the idea that it is. I suppose it could be trolls trying to spread misinformation.
    7
  402.  @MrElmag12 The U.K. PM is not Indian. He is British born.

  403. The BBC hasn’t lost anything. This is all content. Content brings income. It helps the BBC make money.
    7
  404. How can an international news agency vote for either candidate ?
    7
  405. A lot of people are wracked of with small groups causing problems. The police would not have been able to protect the protesters like they normally do. So getting them out of the way was possibly the best way to avoid them getting a good kicking.
    7
  406.  @iggy5347  Ukraine is saying we will not join NATO so what is the problem. Latest from Ukraine is that they want to stay neutral. Ukraine at one time did wish to join NATO. Why because they had worries that Russia had been making noises that gave the impression that they might invade. Russia has invaded & started this war so they were right to be bothered. Please don’t give me some twaddle saying it’s not a war because it clearly is.
    7
  407.  @malthusXIII-fo3ep What freeloading. The Brits left years ago.
    7
  408. @ Rather than go for guesswork. I am going to wait for the official report.
    7
  409. There are places were the nearest large supermarket can be a 50 mile or more round trip away. Groups of leisure cyclists on places like the NC500 who don’t follow the single track with passing pass rules give cyclists a reputation for being both anti social & arrogant.
    7
  410. Looks like they know plenty.
    7
  411. Long bonnets definitely sell. To me anyway.
    7
  412.  @huginnmuninn2155  Unfortunately the great British public voted for this. I advised against it but became accused of promoting Project Fear. I feel no sense of satisfaction saying. I told you so. The U.K. electorate have made the bed all we can do is make the best of it. Some think the EU should do their best to help. Why should they ? The U.K. walked out of the relationship even though the EU wanted us to stay.
    7
  413. I don’t. Please enlighten me
    7
  414. Why would the BBC be upset. It’s all good copy.
    7
  415. I have only heard the BBC say that Iran is nowhere near producing nuclear weapons.
    7
  416. Thank you TYT. Something lighthearted to trigger a much needed smile.
    7
  417. Just tell someone that you don't want them on the premises. The business does not need to provide a reason. In fact it is better if they don't.
    7
  418. What have the BBC lost ?
    7
  419. Former President Trump apparently becoming desperate. Evidenced by the fact he is now getting Nigel Farage up on stage.
    7
  420.  @Linara35  Russia could just go home.
    7
  421.  @Pikestnt  I support the landlord. But also have experience. One household got our motorcycle club evicted for the pub we met for about a decade before they moved in. The new people said they would contest the licence if we did not stop meeting there. In that situation the landlord is stuffed. The fact that he was a tenant and the people complained to the brewery didn’t not help.
    7
  422. How long do you have ?
    7
  423. Iran had a deal not to develop nuclear weapons. Only build power stations. One of the first things did was rip up that deal.
    7
  424. Please don’t insult America. This is happening in the USA.
    7
  425. Plenty of coverage about this in the U.K. Both on national TV news & any number of TV investigations. If I remember correctly Union Carbide did not come out of it smelling of roses.
    7
  426. The BBC is showing both side of the story.
    7
  427.  @jackthereaper4462  That would not get past the Ethics Committy. Please go back & check your source. It appears someone is telling you fibs.
    7
  428. It’s OK folks. Many failed farms will be purchased by private equity & other companies.
    7
  429.  @CoachouseFilms  I can second that.
    7
  430.  @Pooknottin  Let’s not forget many MPs are good hard working people.
    7
  431. Unlike earlier mines they won’t detonate after the battery goes flat.
    7
  432. Oh goody.
    7
  433.  @ukbiker1631  I don’t ever remember carrying anything that I would describe as a weapon for use against people. We used to take throwing knifes to school. Not as weapons but to play stretch. We also carried sheath knives as part of Scout uniforms. But I don’t remember anyone even considering using them as weapons. Same with shotguns. Unfortunately the world has changed. The laws needed to keep up. Used to be that someone could say. ‘Sorry forgot I had the knife on me.’ Almost impossible to prove otherwise. The only thing the school said about stretch was. ‘Get injured. Find you own way to hospital.’
    7
  434. @ Jesus said don’t hide your light under a barrel. Being able to signal virtue is a good thing.
    7
  435.  @Caneandunable  I am not crying. Just watching for Trump to show himself up again. Like him telling Kim. I won’t let you develop nuclear weapons. Kim gave him the finger. Developed nuclear weapons plus rockets to deliver them. What did Trump do in response. Sod all.
    7
  436. Best of luck with that. Can’t see him stopping the wars going in Africa or the Far East.
    7
  437. Sounds like the sort of lark we pulled in the 1950s. We used catapults rather than crossbows.
    7
  438. The BBC Charter and U.K law doesn’t allow funding from overseas. So never any USAID money for the BBC.
    7
  439. That October raid wasn’t a very bright idea.
    7
  440. @ Funded by the U.K. Department for International Development. . Funded by the U.K. not USAID
    7
  441.  @Gigahind.5 Sorry to say the government is concerned. But the population is saying up yours. A worldwide problem. Even voting for politicians who will think their way.
    7
  442. So what ?
    7
  443.  @anthonydowling3356  Nobody is going to get away with that one. Have you forgotten that the airline can’t allow you to fly without having your full details. Immigration will just obtain your details from the airline.
    7
  444.  @maryrose4712  Sorry because of information the airline has to collect by before carrying them I am not inclined to believe you. Not having that info will bring the airline a hefty fine.
    7
  445.  @stevendelucas6311  I also wonder why he skipped over to Scotland rather the being in The States for the trial.
    7
  446. Sorry mate. International law dictates what U.K. Gov can & can’t do. Jump up & down all you like but. The U.K. Government does not have the power to stop these people arriving. Also if you can’t establish were they originated there is nowhere to send them back to.
    7
  447.  @toscatattertail9813  I habe been to Aberdeen ( The UK’s oil capital ) a number of times. Stories there about not paying tax, Not sticking to agreements made to gain planning permission. Damaging a Sight of Special Scientific Interest to the extent that it lost its designation.
    7
  448. Sorry to hear that you’re blind.
    7
  449. British soldiers are not fighting for Israel.
    7
  450. This is something fed to the British by the Brexiteers. They fell for it.
    7
  451. You are not required to show proof of innocence. That claim is complete tosh.
    7
  452.  @vietashroffoliver2521 Not click bait. The headline says. Voice recorder fond. What’s click bait about that ?
    7
  453.  @nathanaelsmith3553  No need to be frightened. All the TV Licence people need to know is if a property is ‘correctly licensed’ if you don’t do anything that requires a licence then not having one means you are ‘correctly licensed’. I let them know that. They normally just check about once a year to see if there have been any changes.
    7
  454. Her parents appear to have done quite well playing the victims. I also wonder why so much cash has reportedly been spent looking for her. Is it more than a little greater than the average spend.
    7
  455.  @purpleroseht  Nobody in the U.K. is forced to do anything that needs a TV licence. Why do people complain when they have a choice ?
    6
  456. They are no longer just a fire brigade. They have been known as Fire, search & rescue for some years now. They have a lot of equipment & training that the Police don’t have. Equally the police have training & equipment the fire rescue doesn’t have. They work together for the community.
    6
  457.  @darkmatter5424  In the U.K. That definition changed after the fall of the Soviet Union. Partly at the behest of countries west of the Russian border.
    6
  458. It is a piece about a Chinese system.
    6
  459. It is not like Dover in the U.K. l know this because of all the conflicting reports. I decided to look for myself. In the last week I went and looked I did not see a queue. I go to the supermarket most Wednesdays. We did have shortages & some empty shelves for a while. But that was largely down to panic buying. My local ASDA is more or less back to normal. I remember food rationing. We survived.
    6
  460. It wasn’t his funeral.
    6
  461. Very well.
    6
  462.  @MarekzAnglii True it’s changed without human intervention. But now it’s getting it big time.
    6
  463. Thy pled guilty. Meaning thy did not need a jury trial.
    6
  464. This is sod all to do with religion. It’s about power.
    6
  465. @ Basically the same as Ireland is a Christian country. They had 30 years of troubles. So it’s hardly just a Muslim problem. Myanmar has the Buddhist attacking Muslims. Brits, can’t really call them Christians because the churches are empty. Seem to have it in for everyone.
    6
  466.  @strexpills Private Equity are often the owners. They have no interest in having permanent residence. Why would they, much more profit in holiday lets.
    6
  467. I Ivan. Hope you are feeling well.
    6
  468. Another YouTube video shows a Trump supporter handing out whistles so the people make noise to support former President Trump. Is MTG becoming ever more desperate ?
    6
  469.  @alexk48  I have made purchases at places that stopped taking cash at the hight of Covid-19. They found that no cash meant. Not having to visit banks etc to pay it in. So less chance of robbery or being burgled. Also no more bank charges for cash handling. They decided to stay cashless. I have also seen reports that at least one north European country is aiming to be cashless by 2025. What surprised me was places going cash only. I wondered if the card companies have become too greedy. That the cafés etc decided to boycott them.
    6
  470. Have been watching a video from the Oval Office. They are not only listening but arranging relief.
    6
  471.  @doubled3962  I believe the President & VP are aware of this. One of the usual problems may be getting the aid past the Republicans.
    6
  472.  @ScratchySlide  What did Tony Blair have to do with the U.K. voting to leave the EU & by extension the Dublin agreement. Meaning the U.K. could no longer return anyone to the EU. Something less fraught than sending people to Africa.
    6
  473. The BBC is funded by licensing and large international commercial activities. Not pressured by advertising etc. Your inaccurate comment is one of the things that puts me off social media.
    6
  474. No he didn’t not call for war. Russia invaded uninvited.
    6
  475.  @sgunethilake780  Ukraine has not joined the EU.
    6
  476.  @sgunethilake780  That is no excuse for a violent invasion.
    6
  477. Yes.
    6
  478. One great difference between sea & air. It’s unlikely that someone will try to hijack/blow up a ferry.
    6
  479.  @Towerwatson525 Nothing wrong with horse meat in itself. Only a problem when it’s being sold as something else,
    6
  480. Have you had time to organise a demonstration ?
    6
  481. You seem to be blaming the BBC. All they are doing is reporting.
    6
  482. Sorry but against the Japanese bikes Brit bikes were just not good enough.
    6
  483. The BBC are reporting on what is happening. Why should they be ashamed of that ?
    6
  484.  @metalicminer6231  Let’s see your evidence.
    6
  485. The European’s have a well established defence sector. They can just order from their people rather than support US industry.
    6
  486. Someone I know visited upstate New York. He went to stay with a University Lecturer friend. He decided to take an after lunch walk like he apparently does in the U.K. He had walked about half a mile before being picked up by the police. The did not believe he had ‘gone for a walk’. They took him back to his friend’s house to check.
    6
  487.  @chriscurtain1816  I have a feeling you don’t use the Dart Crossing often. Going north I am not unusually backed up onto the A2 five miles from the tunnels. Any hazardous loads going north & the west tunnel is closed to other traffic while they pass through.
    6
  488. What desperation ?
    6
  489.  @themediaisnotyourfriend1124 When did Democrats say that. Looking round it’s not true. Bo-Bo has a huge factory going into her district. Payed for in part by the infrastructure bill.
    6
  490. Is there a chance that the U.S. may loose the Olympics.
    6
  491. They seem to be doing very well. Can’t see why you are embarrassed.
    6
  492.  @binits777 A friend is very pleased with her MG.
    6
  493. Deserves prison. How many free prison places are there. Both room available & cost.
    6
  494.  @faithlesshound5621  All of those ‘facts’ are incorrect. Were they supplied by the same people people who mistakenly thought they had located WMDs.
    6
  495. You don’t need a huge lottery win. £150k can purchase a three bed flat in part of the West Midlands.
    6
  496. Studies have be done around the tidal generators of Shetland.
    6
  497.  @AangNova Are you sure that’s not just kids winding up their easily trigger adults. Then laughing behind their backs.
    6
  498. I remember Measles, polio, TB ( which kept me of school for over a year ) whooping cough, scarlet fever & rubella that could lead to special needs children. Plus a raft of others. You may not be surprised to hear I am a vaccine supporter.
    6
  499.  @RoughWalkers it’s all good copy. Why let it go to waste ?
    6
  500. Perhaps because their union said ignore the email.
    6
  501.  @pmarsh3700 Been evident for years. You appear to be in the minority that missed it.
    6
  502. I didn’t hear anyone from the BBC whining.
    6
  503. Please refer to your insurance company.
    6
  504.  @TayWoode  Plenty to pick on. A large proportion of comments come from people who don’t have a clue.
    6
  505. The BBC does an excellent all round job.
    6
  506. @ With age comes life experience and knowledge.
    6
  507.  @FreudsSlipper  I worked 90 hours a week at one time. Nothing to do with slavery.
    6
  508. It’s all over the place. Can’t for the life of me figure out how you have missed it.
    6
  509.  @heathlett275  My mate (50 degrees north) has solar panels plus a PowerWall he and his wife both have EVs. Except when on a trip they charge at home via the PowerWall. They say apart from tires the EVs need little more maintenance than a washing machine.
    6
  510. Did not come out of the blue. It was announced years ago.
    6
  511. When they know the can destroy the opposition for a second time. Looks like Trump isn’t as strong as he claims.
    6
  512. @ The very idea that you believe that is a joke.
    6
  513. None of these gods exist.
    6
  514.  @edgeinscarride  Perhaps stay with the joke because some innocent dying is not funny at all.
    6
  515.  @thethinkingman-  I am not being anti semantic. Just honest. Israeli settlers have sometimes been crossing the line on the West Bank. Something that has been reported on multiple channels with video.
    6
  516.  @rebeccasams93  Sorry you have been misinformed. I have seen video that shows. Biden in the White House & State Governors getting down to arranging the help needed.
    6
  517.  @matthylkema2717  The TT has been running for a lot longer. Started years before people started climbing Everest in any number.
    6
  518.  @grsafran The Europeans have a large and very capable defence industry. The money is to be spent mostly in Europe.
    6
  519. When does any country have Presidential elections in wartime ?
    6
  520. No suit plus a baseball cap in the Oval Office is really disrespectful.
    6
  521.  @phoebus007  I don’t see the police action as heavy handed. Entirely proportionate under the circumstances.
    6
  522. Apart from the fact that the BBC doesn’t receive USAID money. Why would USAID want be to publishing a Chinese project ?
    6
  523. The BBC have reported that two teenagers and an adult woman have been arrested. Sorry you misssed it.
    6
  524.  @DR3ADER1 I believe he/she is referring to users not the technology.
    6
  525. Don’t know why anybody would become exited by US gas prices. In the U.K. we pay about $ 10 US for one gallon of petrol. ( gas )
    6
  526. Clickbait. The headline said that G Maxwell is going to name ‘these’ eight men you did not name them.
    6
  527. When this much rain falls dams are a clear & present danger. Them being overtopped can lead to collapse. Making matters so much worse.
    6
  528. Leave the EHRC ? Before I vote for that I may think back to leaving the EU. That was billed as going to bring the U.K. a golden new dawn & a health service with money coming out of it’s ears. Turned out a little different.
    6
  529.  @Michael15_25 I am an older driver. Started on motorcycles at 16. Cars at 17 In the early days kept throwing bikes down the road. With car crashes it was. Here we go again. Haven’t crashed car or bike for over 40 years. Looks like I am safer now than back then.
    6
  530. I am a pensioner. That winter payment was a bit of a bonus. If money is tight best go to those who really need it.
    6
  531.  @brieflyPost I somehow don’t believe you.
    6
  532.  @nextentrepreneur9288  They are volunteers. Many countries have women in front line roles.
    6
  533.  @julianshepherd2038  Thank those who voted for Brexit.
    6
  534.  @rh5340  A strong Donald Trump will be able to tell Putin. Get out of Ukraine and start paying reparations.
    6
  535. Why would the BBC even wish to monitor the comments section ?
    6
  536. Disaster Stunt. That’s a bit over the top.
    6
  537. Why would we. We had experiments in the 50s & 60s. The results were very mixed & often not worth the expense.
    6
  538. I have just checked Al Jazeera. It’s there with live updates.
    6
  539. Raising minimum wages does not appear to have caused unemployment in Europe.
    6
  540.  @MrLorenzoVids Are you including women and children ?
    6
  541.  @davidlister7214  Perhaps best let a jury decide.
    6
  542.  @derekmulready1523  Where does ‘not in my back yard’ come into it.
    6
  543.  @TheHomescreen The deal wasn’t really a deal. It would have been a surrender.
    6
  544. Then perhaps don’t waste your time.
    6
  545. Private property. Permission needs to obtained before filming professional video. Permission also needs to be gained from anyone appearing in the video. Some people actively did not want to appear. Most outlets get round not showing people’s ID by not filming faces. Keeping the camera pointed low so as not to show faces.
    6
  546. Where is Donald Trump. Didn’t he say he can stop wars ?
    6
  547.  @henk6522 The Ruble has just tanked. Lost most of its value.
    6
  548. That sounds good.
    6
  549. Apparently being in the EU did not stop us having the crown on the glass. It was & I understand still is a cost cutting measure. Even if it only costs 0.1p for each crown it equate to £10,000 per million glasses.
    6
  550. Zelensky has made it very clear he would like peace.
    6
  551. Is this someone else getting their own back for being bullied.
    6
  552. I feel sorry for her.
    6
  553. What makes you believe that brown envelopes were passed around. Do you have any proof. The fact the council would be drawing 44 instead of 20 lots of Council Tax could perhaps influence a planing committee.
    6
  554.  @jackthereaper4462  There will ‘some’ animal testing can’t be avoided in certain situations. But ethical committees will not allow torture. Humans also take part in drug trials. I have for one.
    6
  555. Does he think it’s the Royal We.
    6
  556. I don’t know if humans display the same symptoms as birds. The final stages are not nice. It looks bit like mad cow disease.
    6
  557. I thought the Donald is just a tad anti EV.
    6
  558. Did European’s turn up legally ? Have they poisoned the blood of the Nation’s ?
    6
  559. I found it an interesting report. Can’t see anything to be ashamed about.
    6
  560. There are lots of gods all round the world. Nobody has convinced me that any of them exit. But having said that Jesus seems like a good roll model. The current crop of Post Christian churches don’t seem to take Christ’s teaching seriously. In many ways they appear anti christ.
    6
  561.  @johncorrigan2942  How many would be petty enough to do that ?
    6
  562. It does appear to have some things in common.
    6
  563. If nothing else the caller brought David extra views. Perhaps David should thank him.
    6
  564. If you are prepared to screw others over it’s easy to make money out of failure.
    6
  565. Lots of people making comments but we don’t yet know the cause of death.
    6
  566. I’m this instance they are reporting from Ukraine. It’s nowhere near Gaza.
    6
  567. What about it ?
    6
  568. They are telling the truth.
    6
  569.  @Isclachau  You appear obsessed with crying. Why is that ?
    6
  570.  @Craig-wp3pz Where did you have it modified ?
    6
  571. @ If that’s true no wonder people became upset.
    6
  572. What cloud seeding ?
    6
  573. Is waving a flag the full story ?
    6
  574. Why are so many people afraid of the BBC ?
    6
  575. Why would the BBC even want USAID money.
    6
  576.  @MRW515  Sorry you missed it. I remember it as being a source of amusement. Get the impression that the smiling has gone along with a big red bus.
    6
  577. Yes.
    6
  578. Do you feel that none should have resisted Hitler’s invasions. That they should not have fought to recover their lands.
    6
  579. Does that include wearing a mask/face coverings where required.
    6
  580. They didn’t do that.
    6
  581. In the U.K. you may be sent to jail for throwing mud at anyone.
    6
  582. Can’t see anything desperate about it.
    6
  583.  @aaronwilkinson8963 I know a couple. The husband as run Tesla’s over four years. His wife has just purchased am MG 4. So they are both happy with EVs.
    6
  584. His Range Rover is apparently ULEZ compliant.
    6
  585. I suppose members of the Christian Church in Newcastle he belongs to may be giving him shelter.
    5
  586. Sorry to say I don’t think this will come back to haunt MYG. I think she could even use it to say. One person with a gun could have stopped it Dead.
    5
  587.  @yz2374  Women pilots are statistically safer than men. Which is probably something to do with fact that many commercial airlines employ them.
    5
  588. How can they keep them out. No restriction in movement in the Schengen Area.
    5
  589. Apparently not.
    5
  590. I have also wondered about that.
    5
  591. Why did the President wreck his own mineral deal ?
    5
  592. @ How long would it have taken you to get people together & get them to the affected areas. Especially when roads were impassable.
    5
  593. What suffering ? UK old age pensioners have been getting above inflation raises for years.
    5
  594. I get at least half of my news from BBC Radio 4.
    5
  595. What loses ?
    5
  596.  @tianxiabai1185  I am glad it’s come across as ridicules. Because that is how it’s meant to sound.

  597.  @adrianlloyd6403 Have you been using a tablet, laptop etc that is registered at your home address ?
    5
  598.  @jamesearljohns548  Forty year in the motor trade makes me wonder if very few receive perks like that.

  599. In case you had not noticed America starts south of the Antarctic Circle & finishes above the Arctic Circle. The USA is not even a major part of it.

  604. What is. Cry harder. Even mean ?

  608.  @Sven_Okas1967  Not only low water around Koblenz but also many cafes & tourist type shops are now cash only. Any idea why ?
    5
  609.  @davidseals4898 Speedboats that can hold 50 people. How much do they cost each.
    5
  610. Bo-Jo has already announced that he will carry out a full cabinet reshuffle in the summer. Sort of showing he expects to be in post.

  613. Removing Title 42 could mean a Republican win at the next election.

  614. I wonder if he has read Karl Marks. I have a feeling he hasn’t & is parroting his group’s words.
    5
  615.  @vedJ3760 Do they end up with 71 mother in-laws.
    5
  616. In the U.K. the Golden Arches only serve UK or Ireland beef.

  617. This drug has been in use for years. Plenty of time to ID any significant side effects.
    5
  618.  @ifz5680  Are you sure that China hasn’t been creeping up behind. So much so that China can say so what.
    5
  619. In that case his firm will be in trouble. They are required by law to know who is driving which vehicle. Something which came in order to ID drivers of vehicles caught by speed cameras.
    5
  620. The shortage of storage to take a advantage of that rain is a problem.
    5
  621. Even the three little bigs knew not to build houses out of sticks. They add fuel to a fire.

  622. He is not Indian. He was born in the U.K. which makes him British.
    5
  623. I look like a nice person. Can’t judge a book by its cover.
    5
  624. I recon they are more or less equal when it comes to responsibility.
    5
  625. You’re having a laugh.
    5
  626. As someone who lives in Europe. It’s a disappointment to see that the USA have slipped so far into lawlessness that people need guns for self protection.
    5
  627.  @ar1701  The way I read it Timbrook1000 did blame the authorities for not taking care of business.
    5
  628.  @WW-cp4gb Unfortunately the erratic seasons are beginning to impact food production.
    5
  629.  @marknorville9827  I am sure it has not always been three minutes. I am sure that we were told four minutes back in the 1950s. I have thought of it as four minutes ever since. But I don’t remember being over bothered. In fact during the Cuban missile thing we joked about digging a shallow trench. If the sirens went we would lie in the trench & leave the place tidy.
    5
  630.  @stetomlinson3146 Can you back up your claim. Citation needed. I ask because the U.K. Government says the whole purpose of the mine is to. Produce coking coal for use in steel production. Instead of using imported coal.
    5
  631. A flood defence wall collapsed.
    5
  632. I like the way she has started to colour her roots grey.
    5
  633. Personal water craft are only allowed in Venice if they have a permit. Permits are only issued to residents. Looks like these chaps may have been doing the equivalent of driving a vehicle without the proper paperwork.
    5
  634.  @edgarfoerster9831  Sorry i must be a bit thick your comment has not made a lot of sense.
    5
  635.  @jonny_kung UK law insists they show both sides. They have ever needed to give air time to flat earth advocates.
    5
  636. The RN, RNLI etc are engaged in saving lives that crooks have put in danger. Also is it better to document people rather than have them disappear up a beach.
    5
  637. There is need to produce others licences. Turn up at a shoot & you are required to show you gun licence. It’s the landowners responsibility to check. Fishing & a water bailiff can ask to see you paperwork. Vehicle hire will need to see & record your license details. You can’t rent an aircraft without producing a licence. The list goes on.
    5
  638.  @keithwelton  The law says a property has to be correctly licensed. Unfortunately that can only be ascertained by asking . The police visited me years ago someone reported I had been seen with an automatic weapon. It was a brace. As in brace & bit but the police still asked to come in & take a look. Yes I did let them in.
    5
  639. It is a great idea. My grandfather was one of 13. Only 7 made it to 21 the rest were lost to infection. Infections that can now be avoided using vaccines.
    5
  640.  @ktheodor3968  Perhaps the Russian people deserve a leader with better judgment. Russia’s troops came into Ukraine from the north reportedly being told. You will be welcomed with flowers and cake. What happened to that armoured column shows a massive misjudgment.
    5
  641. Is it there to protect the BBC Copyright ?

  643. It’s true the Spanish are well know for their search & rescue teams. They travel worldwide.
    5
  644.  @ticklingoscillators1852  I see him as perhaps a privileged white male who thinks rules don’t apply to him.
    5
  645.  @wesinbama  Nothing green about building any power station & grid. But they don’t require the burning of fossil fuels to run them.
    5
  646. Perhaps a good job the BBC has reported on it.
    5
  647. Don’t know what is like now but. Many, many years ago about the only place where bullying went on in our school was in the toilets. From my perspective the only people who would have been against cameras set up how these reportedly were would be the bullies.
    5
  648.  @guff9567  I do thanks. I have a mate who worked in oil. It’s about how he described it.
    5
  649.  @AuntieWokery What a load of tosh.
    5
  650. Trump is the trouble maker.
    5
  651.  @FBAExapt  From what I have been seeing. Europe is stepping up its support for Ukraine. After all it is part of Europe.
    5
  652. Still providing the BBC with clicks.
    5
  653. The U.K. population voted for this in 2016. Really confirming their choice at the last general election. It’s a bit of a cheek to complain.
    5
  654.  @OldPainlessSR-71 Possibly aiming to defend his country. A country that is being attacked. The Christian way is to help not walk on by.
    5
  655. Prove it. Put up or shut up.
    5
  656. The agreement she signed looks to be very clear. How could it be any clearer ?
    5
  657.  @thephoenixscotland  Checking fishing papers is usually down to a water bailiff.
    5
  658.  @anonnona8099  A Sovereign Citizen always good for a laugh.
    5
  659.  @matthewarmes619  Have you just worked that out ?
    5
  660. I thought your Nigel said that Brexit would bring a bright new dawn to the U.K.
    5
  661. @ I know someone in the U.K. who does not think their healthcare is rubbish. An accident left him with a crushed vertebrae. He was taken to hospital by ambulance. Spent days in hospital where he claims to have been happy with the care. Was happy with all the x-Rays blood tests etc. On release they dropped him home. Supplied all sorts of mobility aids. ( which will need to be returned when no longer needed ) At first they supplied helpers four times a day plus a visiting physiotherapist. All this without having to fill in form & fight a single insurance company.
    5
  662.  @JamesSmith-dy4bu  Yep. I have read the Bible. End to end. I am now an atheist. Referring to your assertion. Have you joined The Doctor. Traveled back to check for yourself ?
    5
  663.  @kenh3344  Same here. I have no idea. Didn’t know the is a TV Licence had a password.
    5
  664. As a child due to TB I and many others were effectively consigned to solitary confinement for almost a year. Not sure it caused much mental harm. A TB vaccine is now available so no need to go back to those days.
    5
  665. I am completely fed up with people whining about Hunter Biden. That’s all we get is moaning that never goes anywhere.
    5
  666. Correct
    5
  667.  @ShinyTillDawn  I agree. But haven’t I seen YouTube videos when Donald Trump has said he loves the uneducated. Perhaps some people want to be loved. Have a short attention span. Meaning they don’t notice things that in effect goes in one ear & out the other.
    5
  668. @DodiPageThey do have a choice. RNLI crew are volunteers.
    5
  669. I feel sure that shop lifting didn’t happen a lot before people put goods in their own basket. I was married with a child before coming across my first supermarket. Before that it was ask at the counter for things you wished to purchase. The shopkeeper put items in you bag you paid up and left the shop.
    5
  670. WW2 avoided. How long have you been asleep ?
    5
  671. Definitely not an EV. That base vehicle that had been converted into an ambulance only comes as a diesel.
    5
  672.  @TOBYH  Are most working in Committy & not out there in the talking shop. Plus how is it so many people don’t appear to know how government works.
    5
  673.  @user-pu9jn4ei5x It having anywhere near this affect is complete tosh.
    5
  674.  @JohnofthefamilySmith I travel to Europe on a regular basis. Don’t look destroyed to me.
    5
  675. What a load of tosh.
    5
  676. With Trump involved we could expect little else.
    5
  677.  @jwsuicides8095  You are right. I know of a family one of whose members pressured others into avoiding the court. It did not end well. She more or less empties her mother’s account. No chance of recovering money. It had been spent. Another family member somehow raised money on the property belonging to the person with dementia. That money had also been spent.
    5
  678. No warrant ?
    5
  679. Looks like the world has twigged it can do without President Trump.
    5
  680. Boris making that prediction sounds like the kiss of death for Ukraine. Perhaps better if he had kept his mouth shut.
    5
  681. Why ?
    5
  682. Has the rest of the world grown to the stage were the U.S. can be bypassed.
    5
  683. I trust the BBC more than most outlets.
    5
  684.  @bonvivant567  Trump isn’t smart. Said he could end a little European war. Turns out he can’t.
    5
  685. What sort of administration are the Republicans running that allows a situation where they can run out of papers ?
    5
  686. Coined in the early 1940s to define people who had aWOKEn to social & racial injustice. Can’t see what is wrong with it.
    5
  687. Robo taxi. Where does the luggage go ?
    5
  688. Why did the UK electorate vote to end the Dublin agreement. Under that people could be sent back to the EU.
    5
  689.  @tomsheppard378  I believe that violence is best avoided. But given their resources on the day the police did well in keeping the protesters from the mob.
    5
  690. They didn’t.
    5
  691. Florida. Is it legal to transmit episodes of MASH that feature Klinger.
    5
  692.  @iggy5347  NATO did not start this war. Russia did by invading Ukraine. Russian leaders has proved to be the aggressor. It’s all a great shame.
    5
  693. What hysteria ? Just plain reporting. I can’t see why you are experiencing hysteria.
    5
  694. Why does anyone take any notice of Tucker. Fox lawyers have said in court. He is just entertainment. There is plenty of evidence that Tucker doesn’t believe things he comes out with. The guy is just a windup merchant.
    5
  695. There is MTG actually saying. I am completely out of step.
    5
  696. It’s totally shameful that the Russian military has so far taken three years and still not defeated a comedian.
    5
  697. Violence tends to beget violence. Not sure too many people want that.
    5
  698. What a load of tosh.
    5
  699.  @GreggAndely A Biden /Harris Border Bill has done no such thing. Why, because the Republicans blocked it.
    5
  700.  @GreggAndely The Republicans blocked their border initiative. Why, because border problems are in the Republican’s political interest. The Republicans are effectively saying sod the country.
    5
  701. Can I take it that you are pleased with change brought by Brexit ?
    5
  702. What search ? His boot was found by climbers.
    5
  703. Sounds good. Things often end up as a burden. Or even something leading to purchase regrets.
    5
  704. Not all down to governments. The climate change denial people are largely to blame. A government can only go so far before being voted out.
    5
  705. Are they going to be allowed it to grow back Looks like a lot won’t be.
    5
  706.  @tangoangel2782  I visit Europe at least twice a year. These days I see fewer coin in the slot setups. The usual practice now is for one wheel to lock up at the store’s outer perimeter.
    5
  707.  @edwsc3  Possibly because it it on social media there is a good chance that the ‘news’ is not accurate. Or actually being spun to encourage clicks.
    5
  708. The event also took out the standby generators. Also aprox 5,000 houses without power.
    5
  709. The BBC were not wallowing. They created content that’s earned them money.
    5
  710. They are there as seen on previous BBC & others coverage.
    5
  711.  @punothebear  Would have helped if big pharmaceutical had not pushed Fentanyl.
    5
  712. The TV license also befits the Radio/TV transmitters used by other companies.
    5
  713. @ My late brother & his mate called into a pub in Chippenham while heading down the Fosse Way. Never found the full story but they admitted that a night in the cells had been the safest place to be.
    5
  714.  @blessingmhlanga6782 Africa is not a country. It’s a continent made up of something like 30 countries.
    5
  715. Isn’t Trump supposed to be the art of the deal. Really messed up on this one.
    5
  716.  @Trapo-io6ci Putin really got it wrong. Three years in and I am surprised he is not too embarrassed to show his face.
    5
  717.  @LordBikealot  The freedom of information act will allow him/her to see it. Not allowed is tosh.
    5
  718. Yep. He did that with Kim. Didn’t stop him developing weapons. Then claimed he was a big mate. At a time when Kim wouldn’t answer his letters.
    5
  719. Israel doesn’t let reporters anywhere near them.
    5
  720. A mother’s fight to save her son ?
    5
  721. Russia keeps saying. Do that & you will regret it. Russia never really follows up on threats.
    5
  722.  @lolabear3230 The Donald has done that on a number of occasions.
    5
  723. Can his constituents have him recalled.Bit would they do that. After all they voted him in.
    5
  724. Where I live Amazon driver do take a timed / geotagged photo of the box. Some other courier firms do the same thing. Not all the things I order through Amazon are sent out by them. I have used Amazon on a regular basis for over ten years. Their deliveries have been mostly trouble free. But if I order an expensive item I intend to photograph it before & as opening the package.
    5
  725. Support for Starmer is growing. His support for Ukraine has expanded his bace.
    5
  726. Possibly because there isn’t one.
    5
  727. He became Mayor with over 50 percent of a democratic vote. Perhaps get over it.
    5
  728. All people in the UK get almost totally free healthcare.
    5
  729. Time the bin men stopped leaving rubbish on the streets.
    5
  730. It’s good to hear that the cops have dealt with all the other crimes. Allowing them the time to go after a someone who is dying. But one other plus point. Will the cps need to spend time going to court ?
    5
  731. What doe that even mean ?
    5
  732. She appears to be fine with a former President who is on video saying. Tip water on a magnet to destroy the magnetism.
    5
  733.  @ericelliott227 Not sure if we agree but. I understand aWOKEn as referring to people & organisations who have aWOKEn to the world’s inequality & desire to do something to combat them. Something to be celebrated & not sneered at.
    5
  734. If you can’t carry knifes & forks. Looks like the kitchen, dining table in a caravan, motor home or holiday tent have become redundant. Don’t know if things have changed. The Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition kit used to include knives & forks. Having to prepare & eat food with just a spoon & fingers must be a pain. The good lady & I used to go away camping. Sometimes for up to a month. Occasional miles from the nearest hot food outlet. I suppose being basically stilettos tent pegs could also be a problem.
    5
  735. I agree the U.K. can’t walk by on the other side. Help must be provided.
    5
  736. Coined in the early 1940s it defines people who have aWOKEn to social & racial injustice. Can’t see why anyone would see that as a bad thing.
    5
  737. Yep. He has already said there may be no more voting
    5
  738.  @janekitenye399  It appears that King Charles the third has been well schooled by his mother. I expect a follow on from his mom.
    5
  739. People responsible are the electorate.
    5
  740. It’s world news. Part of the BBC remit.
    5
  741. President Putin has reportedly said he is going to take Alaska back. That should be fun.
    5
  742. ⁠ @B2HLensEvidence That’s what I do. Can’t stick the over the top hysteria.
    5
  743.  @muuuuuud  Can’t you manage anything better than insults ?
    5
  744.  @carleckhardt4701  People self censor by watching football etc. What channel is going to gain advertising by showing that. Rather than something that people want to see.
    5
  745. The police often know the vehicle’s registered keepers name & address before they carry out an stop. Some police vehicles have ANPR camera setups. Meaning they will even know the vehicle insurance, MOT status etc. Coming the awkward squad be may be counterproductive.
    5
  746.  @rosemarywoolley8394 We all can be bought sweetheart.
    5
  747. BBC Radio 4 mentions it now and then. The idea is apparently seen as unworkable.
    5
  748.  @user-zz9gn2dc3l  In that case don’t drive.
    5
  749. All the same it is the truth. He has two golf courses in Scotland. As part of the planning permission for the one north of Aberdeen he was supposed to protect the Site of Special Scientific Interest that is partly within the boundary. He did not & a large part of the site has lost its IIISI status. There are reportedly other parts of the planing permission agreement he has failed honour. I have just looked. First post came from a 13 year old channel.
    5
  750.  @ThatOneGuyWithTheEye  It's much easier using metric One problem is for example gallons. Gallons come in two sizes. US gallons & the Imperial gallon the measure used by the bulk of people who work in gallons. I am pretty sure that many who use gallons don't know that they come in two sizes. A litre is a litre wherever you are in the world.
    5
  751. Yep. I am waiting to hear your explanation.
    5
  752. @ I have nothing to cry about. Life is good. But you appear to be miserable.
    5
  753.  @TachyonDriver  The Defender did not come out until 1983. After a vehicle would not gain Type Approval with an under-seat tank. Worldwide there had been too many instances of fatal vehicle fires. Rules were brought in to stop repeats. A manufacturer can’t legally sell a new vehicle that doesn’t comply with the regulations.
    5
  754. Trump winning is bound to create loads of content. So a win for all news outlets.
    5
  755.  @timothyhayes2935  I believe President Zelensky is intelligent enough not to build a villa on the Black Sea. The idea is laughable.
    5
  756. That is not what I have heard reported. The French are reportedly talking about flying him back to his grandmother in Manchester today Sat 16th December 2023.
    5
  757. How many people do you know that’s needed replace an EV battery.
    5
  758. This MP was interviewed on the BBC Today today programme on Monday 3rd June. She appeared to not even know her subject. The interviewer ran rings round her.
    5
  759. A people had a large proportion of their country taken away from them. Can’t really blame them for wanting it back.
    5
  760.  @CHMichael I believe someone has been pulling your leg.
    5
  761. The U.S. have enough problems of their own weather thank you.
    5
  762. Good looks like I am getting value for money.
    5
  763. I don’t believe they are.
    5
  764. Snake oil salesman are always with us. So are marks.
    5
  765. Trump has said openly that he admires the way Kim runs North Korea. Put that with Project 2025 & is see a red flag.
    5
  766. A friend & his wife have installed solar panels & a Powerwall. They drive EVs & in the summer can still sell power to the grid. It took some investment but it’s cut fossil fuel use. Things can change. Let’s face it 150 years ago gas stations did not exist & we were up passed our ankles in horse doings.
    5
  767. Inflation is worldwide. Compared with many the US is performing quite well. Best performance in the G7 for a start.
    5
  768. What on earth are you on about ?
    5
  769. The government may be quite happy with what appears to have happened. It will discourage others from interfering in things they are happy with.
    5
  770.  @darkzim3872 Number plates etc. a good idea. Why not bring them under motorcycle regs. Would cover all sorts of angles. Laws can easily change. When I started riding at 16 I did not need to wear a helmet. Also no restriction on engine size. A couple of lads in the factory started on Triumph T 120. At the time the fastest U.K. production bike. Motorcycle laws are now very different. Perhaps e scooter & e bike laws could also do with a change. Perhaps wven with the same testing requirements before they can be ridden in public.
    4
  771.  @tastytechaddictsmtb  I am required to have number plates on my bikes & car. Following your logic that’s wrong. Because you believe I am being persecuted.
    4
  772. Many people are fed up with Trump so wonder it went quiet .
    4
  773. Russia promised they would not invade Ukraine. Russia broke that promise.
    4
  774. Please refer to an earlier BBB YouTube video explaining that most car parking companies can legally access DVLA number plate data.
    4
  775.  @Dooby-138  Having mostly unused ice and snow equipment stored and serviced may be something that Council Tax payers would not be happy paying for.
    4
  776. @ Would you be happy paying Council Tax to buy, store and service little used equipment. Plus the costs involved to train people to operate it.
    4
  777.  @johnrice4191 Are you insinuating that the Mayor is a racist. If so do you actually have ‘anything’ to back that up ?
    4
  778. Stopping them coming over a fence seems better than them making it to The Channel.
    4
  779. The BBC are reporting on Radio, TV, online & social media.
    4
  780.  @josemariagarcia9577 I’m with you. No drains can cope with the deluge the area experienced.
    4
  781. True. Jesus had aWOKEn to problems. Lost his life trying to make things better.
    4
  782. The people of Shetland discovered that having people without income lead to increased crime.
    4
  783. No it hasn’t. It’s the place I turn to because social media just can’t be trusted.
    4
  784. We have a family saying. Excuses strangers don’t believe them. Family don’t either.
    4
  785.  @StickyBud9395  He seemed perfectly OK when my then wife and I met him. Perhaps a bit flamboyant but that’s about it.
    4
  786.  @mrrangard  It rather depends on who’s new channel you watch.
    4
  787.  @jacobgreer1512  WW3 due to be over in a flash.
    4
  788.  @1977dazzza  It doesn’t. It’s a bribe. All none compliant vehicles should ideally be banned.
    4
  789.  @bobjames6622  May I put my hand up and say. I’m not perfect either.
    4
  790.  @jackwatsonepic626  The police have apparently told the BBC as far as anything potentially criminal goes they must not be investigating. As far as I know the BBC have stopped. I have a question. Why do so many people expect the BBC to be investigating. Even keep employees under full time scrutiny to make sure they are not doing anything naughty. Have our employers keeping us under full time observation is not something I would welcome.
    4
  791. We are all entitled to our opinions. Then to make decisions based on them.
    4
  792. But President Trump says he loves the under educated.

  793. It’s the vehicle’s engine Euro rating that determines if it’s ULEZ compliant or not. Passing or even failing an MOT makes no difference.
    4
  794.  @lauralishes1  I think all he can do is nudge Ireland toward reunification. Leaving it to be their own idea. As a mainland UK resident I see Northern Ireland as having been more trouble than it’s worth. If the north & south would be happy together i would not wish to vote against it.

  795. My daughter found your comment just a bit patronising to women. In her eyes woman don’t need to be patted on the head & told how well they are doing.

  801. I remember the Reds having Gnats. Stood on the top deck of a ferry in Douglas I am sure one passed below me at the start of a display. This was back in the day before display rules became tightened up.

    4
  807. What makes you feel it’s a bad day for the BBC.
    4
  808. Isn’t it something firms should do. Listen to their customers & if legal go with it.
    4
  809. The U.K. encouraged crossings. People could be sent back under Dublin Agreement which came as part of the EU. Did Boris Johnson mention that when he encouraged people to vote leave. Can he hear people smugglers laughing all the way to the bank.
    4
  810.  @Phretik  I agree. Israel has got a way with taking the mick for decades. The world has more or less let them get on with it.
    4
  811. Not sure why but. I can no longer take Bo-Jo seriously.
    4
  812.  @Ikaros---2 I seem to remember a chap called something like Mordoceye Vanownoe being given a life sentence for telling the world that they had ‘the bomb’
    4
  813.  @unknownsample4801  If he keeps saying I have been voted in & I am staying put. Does it really matter who says what ?
    4
  814. Yep you can have the feel good feeling that you are keeping people in work.

  815. Why no. Changing weather patterns are making it harder to grow traditional food products.
    4
  816.  @andytaurus62  The money goes into the public purse.
    4
  817. If someone looks suspicious & the police don’t check they will get pilloried for that as well. Unfortunately they are dammed if they do or dammed if they don’t.
    4
  818.  @grumpyone5963 The U.K. is short of prison places. Even people who have been found guilty & sentenced are being bailed until space comes free.
    4
  819. I thought the BBC’s approach was balanced.
    4
  820.  @Tony-c7z9t Does the DVLA have anything to do with vehicle insurance. Or do they just administer driving licenses & vehicle excise duty ?
    4
  821.  @guff9567 Because the U.K. could no longer return people after Brexit. The people arriving trebled.
    4
  822. They have been reported all along. Sorry you missed it.

  833. Why do people insist on giving LB the oxygen of publicity ?
    4
  834.  @darthfader733  It was supposed to be over in a month max. Nearly three years in shows he made a massively embarrassing decision.

  835.  @wewillrockyou1986  Yep. You appear to have summed it up quite nicely.
    4
  836.  @YorkGod1  Around 1840 the world had a population of about one billion. It has expanded to about eight billion. No wonder it’s crowded in places.
    4
  837.  @NightshadeWuzHere  Who is this ‘they’ you refer too. If you refer to the employer that could end up with themselves being priced out of the market.
    4
  838.  @ShahidKhan-qw8yk The BBC reported that it kicked off when council child protection officers became involved with a Roma family.

    4
  840. Arrested for threatening behaviour. Religion is no excuse.
    4
  841. The BBC are doing well thanks. Increased subscribers to their YouTube channels. Mega clicks comments & shares. No loss. They are in peoples heads & on a winner.
    4
  842. I think there is a definite possibility that Trump could be put out to golf. Leaving Vance as President.
    4
  843. Ukraine is fighting back after Russia invaded.
    4
  844. Best check the contract between you & your suppler. I start receiving rebates after four hours. On the other side of the equation I do pay a premium to be in that position.
    4
  845. I am told that in the U.K. even with their bird flue outbreak large eggs are just over $5.00 per dozen.

  853. Both backup generators taken out in the fire.
    4
  854. Clicks & comment are really good
    4
  855.  @sebastianguerre6868 Yet others keep claiming that the BBC keeps spouting commie values. Looks like balance to me.
    4
  856. Possibly because if you look down the comments you may find kindergarten questions.
    4
  857. The money contributes to the public purse. Falling incomes affect public services.
    4
  858. Something this Christian influencer may not be keen on. The Scottish Parliament is bringing in registration to facilitate people to change their gender. Any Scottish resident 16 or over will be able to change their legal gender. No medical examination or surgery needed. They just need to self sign & the change will become official. It will save an awful lot of fuss & bother.

  862. The US breaking up. Greetings from Russia. Bet China is quite pleased as well.
    4
  863.  @allananderson949 Repair relies on battery design. The back up battery setups in 1950s U.K. telephone exchanges were built in a way that meant individual cells could be replaced. There is at least one place in the states that can refurbish EV batteries.
    4
  864.  @allenk6373  I have not invaded anyone.
    4
  865. Still did not really answer. Why is the river still rising.
    4
  866. That much rain and the dams will be overtopped. Possibly leading to a situation they had in the U.K. where a whole town was evacuated. The amount of water was washing away the face of the dam. The airforce dropped tons of rock while they drew it down. With that much rain there is a danger that dams will be overtopped. Leading to potential dam failure.
    4
  867. Do you still have a truly local newspaper. Our ‘local’ paper appears to be syndicated across the whole country with only half a page of what can be classed as local.
    4
  868. It’s not nonsense. You may not like the truth but it doesn’t make it nonsense.
    4
  869.  @rolandsmith2141  But we all have mental health. For some it’s better than others.
    4
  870.  @thathurt Every property in the land is on the database. Capita are contracted by HM Government to ensure that each one is correctly licensed.

  871.  @julia2k8 A joke is only funny for the first 9 months.
    4
  872.  @StrongRespect Russian woman being advertised on the internet.

  874. @ You could well be correct.
    4
  875. I for one don’t believe you.
    4
  876.  mikekane2492 You appear to,have taken your eye off the ball. BYD and other Chinese companies are roaring ahead.

  877. Delivering aid seems to trigger a lot of moaning. Perhaps stop providing aid. One less thing for people to winged about.
    4
  878. Hasn’t it always been the same. Make the bad boys & girls prefects. Possibility even head girl & boy.
    4
  879.  @user-ug8wx5er1w  Ukraine had a democratic election. Unfortunately for Russia the wrong man won. Calling it a coup is an out and out fib.

  880. The EU is in the process of bringing in a law that will stop phones, tablets, laptops etc being sold without a user replaceable battery.
    4
  881.  @abhijnankhamrui7514  What exactly is the misinformation I’m supposed to be spreading ? Looking down this thread I have not posted anything.
    4
  882.  @armondtanz A guilty plea means it can be sorted quickly. As plea of innocent needs to be tested in court.
    4
  883.  @paulliversidge7140  I totally agree.
    4
  884. Looks like some Republicans are walking the same line.
    4
  885.  @Isclachau  He has been convicted on 34 counts. He was sentenced on Friday 10th January 2025. He has said that he will appeal. No jail time or fine but he was found guilty by a jury of his peers.
    4
  886. @ Pretty sure you could be correct. But something needs to combat the negativity.
    4
  887.  @braska19  I don’t think it’s the end of Covid-19. Not by a long chalk. Is it true that as of Jan 20222 China is still shutting down cities in a attempt to stop Covid-19 ?
    4
  888. Why ?
    4
  889. The BBC has been reporting on this for years. Even called out the lack of action.
    4
  890.  @FBAExapt  if one in a group lets you down it tends to have that effect.
    4
  891. Isn’t that being greedy.
    4
  892. The share holders will decide. I can see why they could be unhappy about one subscription being shared out. Gyms don’t normally allow it why should Netflix.
    4
  893. Isn’t the PM chosen in the same way as the U.K. Meaning the PM is not directly voted for. The largest party chooses the PM.
    4
  894. Not me I don’t believe it.
    4
  895. I remember unannounced testing of the four minute warning sirens. We did not get exited about them. They were just part of life.
    4
  896. ⁠ @Brickshu isn’t WORLD war a bit of a clue that it’s not just Europe.
    4
  897. Sounds good,
    4
  898. Looking at a large proportion of the comments I wonder. Should we say sod it. Let’s enjoy the party while it lasts.
    4
  899.  @martentrudeau6948 What is a UBI in your universe ?
    4
  900. Having returned to the U.K. via Calais a week ago. I can tell you the borders are Not wide open. Getting out & back in are a right pain. Back to hassle we had before joining the EU.
    4
  901.  @colinwhite15  They can ask you to prove your right to be there.
    4
  902.  @frankielov  The BBC are not involved in collecting of the licence fee. Who is Uncle Jimmy ?
    4
  903. What on earth do you expect
    4
  904.  @redredlulu1  Where’s that ?
    4
  905. They do. Plenty to be seen and heard on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.😊
    4
  906. The world population has tripled in my lifetime. Basically the same resources so isn’t inflation inevitable as more & more people chase after them.
    4
  907. Isn’t just a rehash. Nothing really new.
    4
  908. At least LB can transfer to standup comedy circuit. Won’t even need to change her script.
    4
  909. My lose of hair. Can’t blame them for that.
    4
  910. Perhaps you should have read the small print.
    4
  911. A woman was thought have likely gone into the Leam. They looked for her to no avail. She was thought to have gone in by the canoe club hut. The canoeists use the river down to the weir on a regular basis. It was about 10years before her remains turned up.
    4
  912. The passengers & crew are being screened. We will soon know if anyone else has been affected.
    4
  913. The EU are involved in the clean up. Sorry you haven’t heard about it.
    4
  914.  @BanTeslaX  What’s the English Channel. Do you mean the BBC ?
    4
  915. Possibly I am only one of many who did not know about it. This BBC report has brought it to my attention.
    4
  916. Not covered violence in the U.K ? You really are out of touch.
    4
  917.  @elizabethdillon4945  Releasing the amount of oil that he has will have an effect on prices. We need to wait a few days or possibly weeks to find out how much.
    4
  918. Evaporation from warmer seas falls as rain over land.
    4
  919.  @oldgregg86.  Perhaps because a lot of the water is in the atmosphere or sitting in Scottish bogs.
    4
  920. @The problem was started by the US Healthcare system. It was promoted as the go to drug. Bypassing all other pain killers. The health system provided the cartels with customers.
    4
  921. They did that ending the general use of CFCs allowing the hole to shrink.
    4
  922. What money ?
    4
  923.  @onexrp8510 Road Tax no longer exists in the U.K. These days vehicles are charged on the exhaust emissions.
    4
  924.  @navalfa7291 How many drones could be used to fight fires. President Biden has promised all the help that LA needs.
    4
  925. Could we find Elon is protected from court action ?
    4
  926. Always the victim. But that is how self publicists usually work. So we should we be surprised he is at again.
    4
  927.  @paulminshall8793  We no longer need expensive law courts. All can be decided via someone’s short video. Context not required.
    4
  928.  @bravobr9725  Is that your opinion. Or U.K. Law ? Entering the store you accept their terms & conditions.
    4
  929. Going up a lot less than streaming services. Very good value for money especially if you factor in news & current affairs on BBC Radio. But have seen how many people admitting they are being dishonest & not paying for the licence when they should. I think it would be fairer for the cost of the National Broadcaster to come out of tax.
    4
  930. I have also set up an account. Saves logging on each time I use the Dart Crossing.
    4
  931.  Lance Eddison  A good question. Who forced injections.
    4
  932. Been there done that. Renault Kangoo 1.5 diesel. Filled from a quarter to full with Shell V Power petrol. Drove about 135 miles.Mostly on motorways. Occasional flashing of water in fuel light and hesitation at low speed.a little hesitant at low revs at junctions. Stopped for an hour. Engine did not restart. Tank drained, fuel filter replaced. That happened months and thousands of miles ago. So far engine running OK.
    4
  933. If a customer is not happy best suggest they go elsewhere.
    4
  934. Don’t know the background but Ron D has reportedly been invited over to meet members of the U.K. Government.
    4
  935.  @dougofthewoodsdouglasb5505 Yep. That is correct.
    4
  936. The licence thing seems too much faff. Perhaps fund your National Broadcaster out of tax like they do elsewhere.
    4
  937. Are you sure that the woman pulling people around is not one of their own. There to provide added impact to the video.
    4
  938.  @malcolmpowell9164  The JSO people certainly would not want people to be curious. Also the comments are more anti police than to do with oil. Are the JSO demonstrators being paid & used as pawns ?
    4
  939.  @tuckerbugeater No they have not it’s mostly down to Private Equity.
    4
  940. What happened to blessed are the peacemakers.
    4
  941. There Paymaster if the TV Licence payer. Of which I am one. I expect the BBC to bring me worldwide news.
    4
  942.  @lovelybitofbugle219  Please explain. What makes it a stupid idea ?
    4
  943.  @chewy6349  Not sure being worse off will worry. Did not seem to concern the people who voted leave.
    4
  944. Certainly would make a difference. Cash handling is more expensive than electronic transfers.
    4
  945. Wrong. Perhaps look & listen.
    4
  946. MG are already well established. I see lots on the English roads.
    4
  947. Has it reached the stage when the world can get on without the U.S.
    4
  948. It’s good to see Pete asking pertinent questions.
    4
  949. @mrb.9822Are you sure they still exist.
    4
  950.  @stefanschleps8758 Many American countries don’t like this slight. If you are talking about the USA please say so.
    4
  951. @ I agree with you. Lots of vehicles could end up sitting on lots.
    4
  952.  @philc1773 But he did not point out the root cause. There hasn’t been a drop in standards. Just a larger labour pool to recruit from.
    4
  953. The JSO flash mob tactic appears to be working well for them. Two or three minutes of video & away. For them much better than being arrested & spending time off the street.
    4
  954.  @JackFirebrace1917  What tosh.
    4
  955. In effect all they are doing is to avoid you going overdrawn. Potentially saving you money. You can’t return fuel you can’t afford. Different on the checkout were items can be taken off.
    4
  956.  @somespreadliesothersknowth3392  My uniform used used to be a black suite. I tend to wear black leather on the bike. If I can’t see the living how have I managed all these years ?
    4
  957.  @iggy5347  If you believe that you will believe almost anything.
    4
  958. All my school clothes needed nome tags. The school would check they were there.
    4
  959. Partly the Air B&B thing. The same as most countries these days. I believe Edinburg, Scotland have been trying to do something about it.
    4
  960.  @RomanAlekseev-cq3ng Need to stay working to pay the tax. So helpful that way.
    4
  961. He will rid us of those pesky windmills that are producing extra wind.
    4
  962.  @adam7802 Our Nigel was not 100% percent honest about that. Nat West apparently offered an account. But he seems to have preferred playing the victim.
    4
  963. I remember Polio. Even with partial shutdowns, swimming pools etc. At end of Polio season the local paper would list the number of dead, people in ventilators or walking in leg irons.
    4
  964.  @rogerstone3068 Sharpness has a tidal dock.
    4
  965. Looks as though it worked. Looks like no trouble getting a pregnancy.
    4
  966. Sorry I just don't believe most of your comment.
    4
  967.  @coolcooper1971  aWOKEn coined in 1940s USA to denote people who had aWOKEn to racial, gender & social discrimination. Then try to combat it. Using it as an insult give an insight to your character.
    4
  968. I don’t hear any begging. I hear Europe coming together.
    4
  969. It’s a bit like colour & color or tyre & tire.
    4
  970. What makes you think the BBC is getting any money from US taxpayers.
    4
  971. The President & VP are in the White House. Helping to arrange relief & rescue. Not like the Donald getting in the way for a photo op.
    4
  972. He was born in London. Is a British citizen wouldn’t be allowed on the ballot if he wasn’t.
    4
  973. I have a feeling there is not only you paying tax.
    4
  974. @frodobaggins6270I agree. Anyone who still cares will take an interest. But hasn’t the world just moved on from the rich and famous being naughty with Groupies and good time girls.
    4
  975. How do you suggest they stop the boats.
    4
  976.  @borisjohnson5985 The US could have had the minerals now going to Russia.
    4
  977. Sorry don’t believe you.
    4
  978. The BBC did not cover for him. They transmitted a detailed report on Saville’s wrongdoing. The NHS were he had his own bedrooms in three or four hospitals. Kept very quiet.
    4
  979. This may be unpopular but isn’t President Putin innocent until proven guilty ?
    4
  980.  @davidhoward1235 It’s a TV licence. Not a BBC TV licence. The money collected is passed to the Government.
    4
  981.  @bryanhill1406  As far as I am concerned it’s a very good thing. Another reason to support people who have aWOKEn. Unfortunately people like an author should expected to know what aWOKEn means. Trouble is they don’t. After all it was coined in the early 1940s. Plenty of time for the word to spread.
    4
  982.  @BluntyBlue-e1l  What are the facey things supposed to represent ?
    4
  983.  @gnomechomsky2524  OK thanks.
    4
  984.  @MrOwillo The BBC did not think it was a surprise. They reported Ian’s stated intention at least a day before.
    4
  985. ⁠ @livingonthetyne One other thing that’s changed. People used to retire from the factory. Dead by 70. I suppose carrying formaldehyde round in buckets and washing our hands in benzene didn’t help.
    4
  986.  @beewa8840  I just expanded on the BBC report that women are having fewer children. By talking to people around me I have formed the impression that many don’t realise the size of the change. When I first married it was seen as a mark of shame if the wife needed to work. My mother brought me up telling me I was expected to provide for wife & children. Woman’s lib has tuned out well for us chaps.
    4
  987.  @williamhurley8407  I agree with your comment.
    4
  988.  @matthewchrist5399 Unfortunately the erratic seasons are beginning to affect food production.
    4
  989. Why does this presenter more or less all the bring racism into it. Almost as if he wants to keep it on the boil.
    4
  990. I would suggest they share that with Al Jazeera.
    4
  991. What on earth are you on about ? Who is Sinwar ?
    4
  992.  @DozyDoge retty sure you are correct. The police can’t risk being slated for Police violence.
    4
  993. It isn’t a new round. There was a road there before the sand pits
    4
  994. Cameron back. That’s great news.

  995.  @Ibra-bm1jl6qw9x  But many people In many countries weren’t silent.

  996. Is it time to look towards the European way of funding healthcare.
    4
  997. If history is anything to go by insurance companies will put off taking responsibility.
    4
  998. I believe she overreacted. But as an aside. I met Big Daddy on the Isle of Man ferry from Liverpool. He came across as an excellent fellow. I worked Saturdays at the time and did not recognise him. A busy ferry so the then wife & I kept his seat while he went off to buy pies. We only found out later who we had been sat with.
    4
  999. Please name one.
    4
  1000. I didn’t have a problem understanding anything said.
    4
  1001.  @bbbbobbbb EVs can be used to balance the load. Buy the power off peak sell it back at peak periods.
    4
  1002.  @daviddavidson2357  Carrying a knife did not alway look scary. In the 1950s we had six inch sheath knives that were carried openly. During the last year of school some of us had throwing knifes. We used to play stretch on the sports field. All the deputy head said to us was that we got injured we could find our own way to hospital.
    4
  1003.  @Caneandunable No they did not say Biden was the healthiest & brightest. But Donald Trump says that about himself.
    4
  1004. The Government followed the usual procedure.
    4
  1005. It has been talked about on the BBC.
    4
  1006.  @porkNbenz Europe has a fully developed defence industry. Being freed from the U.S. will be a real good news. Money spent in Europe and not supporting US manufacturing.
    4
  1007. That old news. Yesterday’s chip paper.
    4
  1008. I sometimes attended race meetings. A now retired sidecar driver said this about preparing a new passenger. Unzip head remove brain. Replace with pork chop. Re-zip head.
    4
  1009. The U.S. sounds like the British moaning about Brexit.
    4
  1010. They expected and got international attention.
    4
  1011.  @TheTheSssupermario Correct. But who is even bothered about grandchildren let alone want to do anything to help them.
    4
  1012.  @Sachanadinebrown  I agree with you. Too many making this an excuse for some sneaky racism.
    4
  1013. Which children ?
    4
  1014.  @captainnemo190  Not if you don't give them a reason. A shop can decide they don't want you just the same as anyone can decide they don't want to use a shop.
    4
  1015. It’s a pity that we in the U.K. did not listen to Project Fear. The Weatherspoon magazine told about all the wonderful things that come out of Brexit. I am still waiting for them to come to pass.
    4
  1016. Isn’t it good. We no longer have to look under stones to find trolls. They are here on display.
    4
  1017.  @malcolmmoffat2108 You U.K. electorate voted to end being able to send any back. You made your bed.
    4
  1018. Saying the BBC is like CNN is a complement.
    4
  1019. If nothing is done about the climate it will cost even more.
    4
  1020. Her audience did not seem bothered. Just carried on eating.
    4
  1021. None so blind as those who don’t wish to see.
    4
  1022.  @warlockuk6939  The answer is I don’t believe it. Especially about having to go to court & apologise to a judge.
    4
  1023.  @dominiclane8538  We learned in the past. No unions, workers get screwed. Rather like BA & the rail companies a trying to do now.
    4
  1024.  @paradisebreeze1705  Not everyone can afford to support small independent shops. They are a luxury these days.
    4
  1025.  @alisonharris9040 What is Trump going to do about Vladimir Putin promising to return Alaska to Russian control ?
    4
  1026. But the U.K. & Europe don’t want US food standards.
    4
  1027. I have spoken to someone who worked for the Golden Arches in Europe. Apparently over there nobody would be allowed to work the fryer. Without talking and passing a short safety course & also wear a hairnet.
    4
  1028. To be it looks like the BBC helping to expose wrongdoing.
    4
  1029. Why is the world becoming so angry. It usually has a negative effect.
    4
  1030.  @Johnny-sj9sj He polled over 50% in the Mayoral Election. The electorate appears to like him.
    4
  1031. Can I take it that you have not seen British pantomime.
    4
  1032. The way to possibly get your vehicle on the National Database as a “vehicle of interest’.
    4
  1033.  @kotw2003 They were not. Fewer jobs at the end of his Presidency. The stock market also looked shaky during his tenure.
    4
  1034. Does the wider world need the U.S. anymore ?
    4
  1035. One guy apparently paid $9,000 for a President Trump gold sneaker. But was it the equivalent of the old Pirelli Calendar auctions.
    4
  1036. We started paying our NI Samp at age 15 to retire 50 years later at 65. These days it’s often between 17 & early 20s before paying in.
    4
  1037. What’s the BBC have to cry about ?
    4
  1038.  @FirewindII  Thank you. Why didn’t you say so in the first place. I have experienced the occasional temper. It’s nice to know the new King is human.
    4
  1039. Looks like just driving one into water doesn’t make it burst into flames.
    4
  1040.  @AnthonyMonaghan I agree with you. Poor girl has been sat in front of a camera and given sod all to go on.
    4
  1041.  @Thurgosh_OG  Claiming it is not good enough. You need to prove that brown envelopes were passed. After all I could claim that I am extremely handsome. You may expect me to prove it.
    4
  1042. Is former President Trump descending in word salad & little else ?
    4
  1043.  @giman3752  It’s still world news.
    4
  1044. Don’t worry. The quicker the US collapses the quicker China can sort you out.
    4
  1045. I thought most churches had banded confetti from their churchyards. Will she be charged for cleaning it up ?
    4
  1046. I don’t feel disrespected. I am also not bothered by insults.
    4
  1047. Yep. You could be for correct. The fact China has three billion inhabitants could leave the U.S. in the shade.
    4
  1048. @ Are you possibly suggesting that India’s three billion population is also only one billion. ?
    4
  1049.  @dododostenfiftyseven4096  The criminal damage being caused looks genuine to me.
    4
  1050. I am generally happy with the BBC. But do wonder why some seem afraid of them.
    4
  1051.  @larrylandry3057 Are you still on about the HANNAS Broadcasting Corporation ?
    4
  1052.  @telescopicS627 I am happy with public broadcasting. Overall much more reliable than social media. How many social media comments contradict each other. How,many times do you know comments are just not true. In that respect social media is its own worst enemy.
    4
  1053. The BBC news website. The ship is in dock being unloaded.
    4
  1054. Was it her ex husband ?
    4
  1055. @ How do you know thy were strangers. Do you believe anything MSM tells you ?
    4
  1056. Yep. They are welcome to him.
    4
  1057. @ What biases. Some accuse them of left wing others of right wing. Can’t please everyone all the time. When it comes down to it. I trust the BBC more than some bloke on the internet.
    4
  1058.  @adamskyj69  Any business can refuse your custom. Banks are no different.
    4
  1059. The U.K. used to be in the Dublin Agreement. Meant they could send some back. U.K. left Dublin when it left the EU. Did Boris Johnson mention that. I wonder why people smugglers are now laughing all the way to the bank.
    4
  1060. Possibly have a word with your programmer.
    4
  1061.  @truth.speaker  The tractors in our neck of the wood tend to pull into the side to let people past. Something I have not often witnessed cyclists doing.
    4
  1062. Sounds like the driver just eased people out of the way. I hope nobody damaged the vehicle on dash cam.
    4
  1063.  @dugbracket5912  He may have been better thanking the bus. Pity his security would not let him.
    4
  1064.  @SimonBlandford Please tell me where is there a 20mph limit on any motorway in Wales ?
    4
  1065. The BBC reports worldwide.
    4
  1066.  @user-iu9fg5kx6v Unfortunately. Same in large parts of Africa.
    4
  1067. @T.s.white.You sound a bit of a bit scared.
    4
  1068.  russmartin4888  Good, helps keep people in work.
    4
  1069. We keep being told pensioners have money coming out of their ears. Something you will see at garden centres. The cafe is full of them & car parks are full of expensive cars & SUVs.
    4
  1070. Is the Trump administration in a bit of a mess. How long could it stay that way ?
    4
  1071. President Putin claims the Russians owns Ukraine. He also claims Russia has been scammed over the purchase of Alaska. Is he likely to try a takeover there.
    4
  1072. Happens all the time & all over the world. Anyone not hiding under a rock should know these things take time to resolve.
    4
  1073. At least that gives the world two credible channels.
    4
  1074.  @aleopardstail  Our local MP has been there for me. Not always come up with the answer I would prefer but I am only one constituent out of many. The late Jack Drommy MP saw thousands turning out for the funeral. The same for the murdered South End MP.
    4
  1075. Sounds good to me. After all the money has to come somewhere.
    4
  1076. But he won’t will he.
    4
  1077.  @Roland_Tr909_Swing I believe him.
    4
  1078. McDonald’s don’t own most of the outlets. They are franchises.
    4
  1079. Why is that even a question ?
    4
  1080. What about them. I know nothing and look forward to your answers if you have them.
    4
  1081. I don’t remember any untold suffering.
    4
  1082. @ He was the leader of the Nazi party. Hardly left wing.
    4
  1083.  @johnbowen2956 Well said. I am with you all the way.
    4
  1084. Donald doesn’t say much about Gaza.
    4
  1085.  @fjkelley4774 Yep. What did happen to NHS waiting lists that we’re supposed to melt away.
    4
  1086. It’s all good copy. No need for the BBC to be desperate.
    4
  1087. As a member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage must have been aware that leaving the EU & the Dublin agreement would boost the number crossing. For Nigel the boat people are the gift that keeps on giving.
    4
  1088.  @stones4879  Leaving Dublin. Has meant you can no longer send people back to Europe which lead to trebled crossings. You are now talking about sending Africa instead. Yes you took control but you patently can’t do it on your own.
    4
  1089. What Saville video. I remember the BBC producing a full report when the extent of his wrongdoing became clear. But firms still aren’t following my advice. Make sure they have full access to their staff’s private lives. That includes mobiles, tablets, desktop’s etc. Perhaps employ private security to check on us.
    4
  1090. Why would the BBC care who is President. It’s all news.
    4
  1091.  @Felix-rising  I am not a social worker. The main thing I seem to hear about them is. For whatever reason they are accused of not spending enough time on each case. Could understaffing contribute to that happening ?
    4
  1092.  @rumdo5617 I gasped when someone told me that a business could survive with three managers to each productive worker. Anyone who believes that has not worked in retail.
    4
  1093.  @ivorleak8823  You could be correct about the DonOLD sleep walking & posting to Truth Social. It’s about the only way he could be up through the night.
    4
  1094.  @imbonkers3629 it’s not hot in the U.K. midlands. I have just turned the central heating back on.
    4
  1095. I like Haggis. Started buying it from a butcher in the Scottish Borders.
    4
  1096. Sod Gaza. I am sick of hearing about it. October 3 was a massive mistake.
    4
  1097. You are not forced by law to do anything that requires a TV Licence.
    4
  1098.  @nodruj8681 International law appears to say Global Britain is obliged to honour asylum rights.
    4
  1099. Free Trump ? I wouldn’t want him if you paid me.
    4
  1100. Hotels are checked. They also have treatment/prevention systems in place. Same with many office blocks.
    4
  1101.  @MikeEves No they were not. Some reported me as having a handgun. The police came round asking to check. They were good as gold once they looked round & I showed them my air pistol.
    4
  1102. I agree.
    4
  1103. No fool like an old fool.
    4
  1104. Looks like KR is going to start his adult life in dept.
    4
  1105. Has anyone even phoned the police.
    4
  1106. Hadn’t he been told the police had been involved.
    4
  1107. @ What an earth has NATO got to do with it ?
    4
  1108. All the other channels I have watched have this down as football related.
    4
  1109. Too many Youtube videos showing electric scooters bursting into flames. Sometimes for no apparent reason. No way do I want to share a train above or below ground with something that can start belching toxic smoke.
    4
  1110.  @Britboy404  Al Jazeera is also a go to.
    4
  1111. Iran doesn’t allow the BBC access.
    4
  1112. @superdug-o2k But there is a chance they can convince people that someone was still alive.
    4
  1113. I keep seeing increased heart attacks mentioned on social media. But nothing backing up those claims.
    4
  1114. Why would they ?
    4
  1115. Centuries ago King Canute taught the world you can’t turn back the tide. Why does anyone think that politicians can turn the tide of people crossing the channel ?
    4
  1116. They only need to keep Trump in power for a couple of months. Then put him out to golf ‘for the good of the nation.’
    4
  1117. Judging by the number of times he has gone bankrupt leaving a trail of dept. Plus what he did to the economy last time I don’t want him back in the Whitehouse.
    4
  1118. It’s a Welsh name. Wales is part of the UK. Welsh is a Gaelic language. It’s also spoken in parts of Scotland.
    4
  1119. It’s all making work for the working persons to do. Bet they think all their Christmas’s have come at once.
    4
  1120. You don’t have to be here. Your choice.
    4
  1121. Why no breath test. Does away with it being a matter of opinion.
    4
  1122. The U.K. lease came to an end. The U.K. returned it to China.
    4
  1123.  @adenwellsmith6908 It is a TV licence not a BBC TV licence. So no point approaching the BBC. Monies collected go to the Government.
    4
  1124.  @adenwellsmith6908  You’re just making that up.
    4
  1125. Bo Jo gave a very strong message. Vote leave & the health service will have money coming out of it’s ears. It’s a pity he he no longer there to ask where the money went.
    4
  1126.  @Kado1609  Lead us not into temptation.
    4
  1127. The max penalty for riding without lights is death. If not my mom was telling fibs.
    4
  1128. Sounds like a sensible lady. About the only people that come well out divorce are lawyers & estate agents. Been there done it could not afford the T shirt.
    4
  1129.  @kopal603 The Air Accident system looks to find the cause. Not to point blame. The idea is to head off the same thing happening again.
    4
  1130.  @Burdale1 She was doing a professional job. The fact that Clarkson made himself look twerp is down to him.
    4
  1131. Putin will huff and puff but it won’t have any real effect.
    4
  1132. The BBC has done that. Sorry you appear to have missed it.
    4
  1133. Yes.
    4
  1134.  @_ArsNova  The police can only hold you or I for so many hours. After that they have to release us. He had a few guns. So what.
    3
  1135. Why do you claim it’s not fit for purpose ? Please explain.
    3
  1136.  @agneskirsch8335  I referred to Polio being alive & well in the US. Not necessarily using an iron lung. But you may be correct about using a respirator.
    3
  1137. No.
    3
  1138.  @Dekedence  I answer the letters. Saves them contacting me for a while. Why would I want to do anything different.
    3
  1139. What a load of twaddle.
    3
  1140.  @SadaK-tr6dm  I don’t believe you.
    3
  1141. Went to Coventry about a month back. They have large pedestrian areas in the centre. Did not stop delivery riders on electric bikes wizzing round in all directions.
    3
  1142. Yet others claim the BBC ignores Gaza.
    3
  1143. ⁠ @AdamFaulkner-t2t It’s no surprise. Been talked about for at least 20 years.
    3
  1144. @ Tosh it has just opened up doors that bigots kept shut.
    3
  1145. Plenty of BBC coverage of Palestinian Medics.
    3
  1146. No it was about bribery.
    3
  1147. Did you vote to leave the EU. To become Global Britain. Global Britain = International Law.
    3
  1148.  @KemPeck1701  Come on you need to do better than that.
    3
  1149.  @davidockley2987  Without providing any evidence. You have already claimed the the Mayor of London has come out with racists comments. Are you suggesting someone else in particular has been racist. If so who is it & do you have any evidence to back it up. Is it true that in the U.K. you can be arrested just for posting hurtful comments. How does it work in the U.K. If it is true do you expect them at your door or perhaps be picked up in the street.
    3
  1150. Why on earth would they do that ?
    3
  1151. It’s good to see that people are so afraid of the BBC.
    3
  1152. During Covid I felt safer in isolation. Being out may have traumatised me.
    3
  1153. I keep hearing about China going for zero Covid & lockdowns. But no one ever seems to mention their vaccination status. Do they use lockdowns rather than vaccines ?
    3
  1154. @ Look again. I have not claimed it would harm an island.
    3
  1155. I have no idea.
    3
  1156.  @johnparish5498  About the only way to become a prefect at our school was to be a bit of a trouble maker. The Head Boy had been knocked for what was then called. Taking & driving away.
    3
  1157. Sounded like she was speaking English.
    3
  1158.  @Roland_Tr909_Swing  Yep I trust the BBC much more than social media. As far as Covid goes I am of an age. People were dying around me & other’s in hospitals. I took advice from BBC output. Social media tells me that because I took the jab I & people round me should have died from heart attacks. That turned out to be tosh.
    3
  1159. He does not appear bothered by the ‘injury’ to his face. Could it be makeup ? Once removed he could become effectively invisible.
    3
  1160. I am an evangelical atheist. I am encouraging others to See the Light.
    3
  1161. He has been fined.
    3
  1162. The BBC has reported it on radio, TV & online.
    3
  1163.  @Commentator488 Is it true that every Swiss adult male has to undergo military training. Then go on to keep a gun ( usually a rifle ) at home ?
    3
  1164. I did not see any typos.
    3
  1165. Are they laughing at their own satire ?
    3
  1166.  @Captn_Slow I have come across people who believed they would be worse off. Voted leave because they wanted out of the EU no matter what the cost.
    3
  1167. Who said they were arrested in Palestine controlled land.
    3
  1168. Hitler claimed Poland just the same. Hitler then marched into Russia. The US & other’s supported Russia with supplies & equipment.
    3
  1169.  @smj337 The point being made was it was never a blanket 20mph limit.
    3
  1170.  @musicbruv  The general rule is. Always replace them as a pair.
    3
  1171.  @ReichReview I call it the cost of law breaking.
    3
  1172.  @ReichReview ANPR keeps a check insurance, MOT if applicable and road fund. Just no insurance and the vehicle can be clamped & towed. Same on a traffic stop.
    3
  1173. Have you written to your MP ? Your MP is legally required to answer.
    3
  1174. Sorry sunshine I am not going to join your racism.
    3
  1175. Often a sign they know they are on shaky ground.
    3
  1176.  @sidlindsay1647  You never know. They may be after you because you know too much. Make sure you watch your back. Perhaps don’t visit lonely places after dark.
    3
  1177.  @sharonwilliams974  No I did not need it to pay my energy bill.
    3
  1178.  @Desmodude  Yes it was. Like most of my pensioner contracts. We think if the Conservatives left the U.K. Government short of money it’s best targeted at the most needy.
    3
  1179.  @sharonwilliams974  In some ways it’s good that people have stopped slagging us off for allegedly having too much money.
    3
  1180.  @AndiGomez-yu2dx I haven’t see evidence of that.
    3
  1181. Of course Tucker is stepping on the troublemaker front. Not sure why we should expect any different.
    3
  1182. I found the piece QI. ( Quite Interesting )
    3
  1183.  @lesigh1749 They are not NATO weapons. NATO itself is not involved.
    3
  1184.  @johnlemon1863  I don’t agree with your assessment.
    3
  1185.  @matthewbaynham6286  The barges going back and forth that’s one supply line. The USA is mobilising a temporary harbour that ships can get into. That should really up the volume. But in the meantime as the young lad said as he relieved himself into the see. Every little helps.
    3
  1186. That comment is one reason people no longer fully trust YouTube.
    3
  1187. What has violence got to do with it ?
    3
  1188. It’s not called that. It’s still London.
    3
  1189.  @JeremiahNgwira  The British don’t have to be white. The Empire vastly expanded what it means to be British.
    3
  1190. Don’t blame her for deleting. Save all sorts of arguments about what each particular message ‘meant’.
    3
  1191. Please explain why DEI hire caused it. There has not been a drop in standards. Just a larger labour pool to recruit from.
    3
  1192. Cloned plates we’re about in even before 1970 when I became an MOT tester.
    3
  1193.  @Locutus  The dealership I worked for in the late 90s often replaced two or three radios a week. Customers were offered a free of charge engraving on their radios. Radios are now integrated into the dash. The fact that car manufacturers agreed with Europe’s Governments to code car radios in 1999 more or less stopped radios being stolen at all. Stolen cat’s doesn’t seem a problem possibly because until lately half the new cars sold were diesel.
    3
  1194. President Putin is a failure & embarrassment. Hitler took over Poland in quick order & moved on. When Putin sent people into Ukraine two years ago with talk of cake & flowers how did he not know he was sending the to their death.
    3
  1195. DeSantis has not refused Government aid.
    3
  1196. You don’t need extreme wealth to buy a house. In the West Midlands it’s possible to buy a three bed flat for £150 k. Hardly extreme wealth.
    3
  1197.  @tombo1984  What people’s vote ?
    3
  1198.  @darkshar100  Because VPN exist. Not at all sure anyone could ever know.
    3
  1199. I can see Trump handing back Alaska to avoid a fight with Putin.
    3
  1200. The stats say women are definitely not safe in many parts of India. Especially when leaving home at night to relieve themselves in the fields.
    3
  1201. Climate change anyone ?
    3
  1202. I can’t find any reliable source that shows David Cameron has spent £42 million on private planes. Where can I find it ?
    3

  1204.  @ISirSmoke  I believe it’s better to defuse a situation rather than make it worse. What’s wrong with that ?
    3
  1205. Why ?
    3
  1206.  @brendasg155  Knowing they could be sent back apparently put them off traveling. Isn't it a fact that crossing trebled after that threat was removed, But there is a more positive note, None being sent back gives your Nigel the gift that keeps giving.
    3
  1207.  @Colin623  Global Britain no longer part of the EU. Is now fully subject to Maritime Law. If people are in your waters they are your problem. Something the UK knowingly voted for. But one consolation. For your Nigel the boats are the gift that keeps on giving.
    3
  1208.  @barriewilliams4526  That is the main reason rules were changed in the 1980s. Certs & stamps somewhere kept ‘safe’ unless being written out. Certs & stamps were a target for thieves leading to dodgy MOTs. Changed rules lead to cert’s & the MOT station’s embossing stamp having to be kept in a slam shut safe. The theft of certs & MOT availability in pubs more or less stopped overnight.

  1211.  @thelibrarian3734 People have gone to court & challenged the lawfulness of Council Tax. Result. They have ended up paying court costs on top of the Council Tax.

  1212.  @alfredeneuman6966  You may be entirely correct. But I also feel. ‘What me worry.’
    3
  1213. But what will they replace it with. ?
    3
  1214. Why not the reunification of Ireland ? Apparently plenty saw that coming when they voted leave. Northern Ireland has always been trouble. Best let the Republic have them back.
    3
  1215.  @aye3678 No it isn’t. It’s the HAMMAS B C. At least that’s what many claim.
    3
  1216. He is reportedly unpopular with many in the Aberdeen area. Apparently partly because he gave assurances that a golf course he was planning to build would not loose even part the area’s status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. He has not honoured that commitment.

  1220. aWOKEn to the ills of the world and aiming to combat them. That sounds aspirational.
    3
  1221. The BBC is reporting what is happening. This is a news channel what else would you expect ?
    3
  1222.  @EMMANUELIWUOHA.  I wondered about that. Could help explain why he did not want it towed. It’s also a pity that he cost the police so much.

  1228. @Advanced Driving Ukrainian refugees have been invited in. How would it be ‘convenient’ for any of them to loose their passport. It would just add complications.
    3
  1229.  @ronin7531  Would you like to reconsider your comment ?
    3
  1230. Even Sky TV is moving away from satellites. Sky Glass is delivered by broadband.
    3
  1231. It’s not just ASDA. The same in most shops, buses, taxis etc. In the home, desktops, laptops, tablets etc all may have cameras. The only way to be sure of avoiding them is stay in bed away from them.

  1232. It’s not the BBC’s job to judge,
    3
  1233. Can you explain the melting permafrost.
    3
  1234.  @OldScientist  You still haven’t explained the melting permafrost.
    3
  1235.  @OldScientist  What about the large blow holes that have been photographed from orbit ?

  1239. Didn’t stop North Korea. Why not.
    3
  1240.  @jay71512  So you don’t have proof.
    3
  1241. Your question makes it appear you don’t know the subject.
    3
  1242. It’s the ‘rule of law’ not rule of officials.
    3
  1243. Good to see us pensioners are no longer seen as being rich. Ripping off the young.
    3
  1244. The same as everyone.

  1245. Fertility rates always raise during times of war. Been that way for centuries.

  1246. No she didn’t say that Ukraine was winning. Ukraine does keep hitting Russia
    3
  1247.  @paulpaul9914 Knowing the law can keep you out of trouble. Not understanding the law may lead to you inadvertently breaking it. Under the current law plus 1 etc does require a license.
    3
  1248.  @paulpaul9914  So what’s your problem ?
    3
  1249. Nigel Farage was never an MP in the British Parliament. He was a member of the European Parliament voted in by an area in southern England. He was one of the people who promoted the idea that the U.K. would be betting off out of the EU. Something that at best appears to be something of a very mixed blessing.
    3
  1250. Yep that way we can have endless repeats on the quarter hour.
    3
  1251. It is the default on any at the start insurance claim. Your car’s insurance policy may well list it in as. Do not admit liability.
    3
  1252. Well said. I am now sure that I know were Ana stands on the issue.
    3
  1253. I did not know that Oxford had a Bible College. What’s it’s name.
    3
  1254. Some people appear to have forgotten that the U.K. voted to leave the EU to become Global Britain. Which means apart from international law you are on your own.
    3
  1255.  @oisinquinn9469 I am wondering about that.

    3
  1261.  @thomasdalton1508  My route took me through York in the early 1960s. Often had to go round by Selby because York was flooded. Not sure all the affected properties were designed to be flooded.
    3
  1262.  @NightshadeWuzHere  Often leads to going out of business. Way of the world.

  1263. Later reports claim the perp was Jewish. But there does appear to be some biased racial profiling going on.
    3
  1264. Why was it OK to be harassing MTG in the street. Or harassing anyone anywhere come to that.
    3
  1265.  @wagstag89  I much prefer Europe were I don’t feel the need to carry a weapon. About farts. My mother always said. Take deep breaths. They will go away.

  1270. I don’t remember anything like that.
    3
  1271. Did anyone suggest you are going to be forced to eat. Any more than the Golden Arches force you to eat the whole menu.

  1275. @ I did not no she was still married. But I do know that her behaviour had been such she could no longer see her children.
    3
  1276.  @iberian5319  Sorry Thatcher wasn’t around in the 1960 when Japanese bikes arrived in the U.K. Also not around when the Commit started falling out of the sky. That did a lot to end the U.K. large passenger plane. The U.K. is back in working with the Europeans via Airbus. The U.K. voted to make that collaboration harder.
    3
  1277.  @stephenmason5682  May I take it you have not worked in sales. Not experienced an aggressive Area Sales Manager on your case.
    3
  1278. 19 year old. 33 year old confirmed celibate. How did she seduce him. Was it for a bet ?
    3
  1279. One third of the UK’s electricity is generated by renewables. Doesn’t seem to be giving them trouble.
    3
  1280. Please get your facts straight the TV licence is no way unlawful. I spend many hours each week watching & listening to the BBC I believe it’s cracking value for money.

    3
  1282.  @soundseeker63 The back up generators were at the same site. Our thoughts cannot change that.

  1286. A company has ever right to turn away any customer they don’t want.
    3
  1287.  @tgheretford  But we don’t know why the bank foreclosed his account. We only have what someone ‘thinks’ the reason could be his attitude.
    3
  1288.  @geoffbirchall7552 Dead right. Trump said he would date his daughter.
    3
  1289.  @Villaineditings The BBC is an international news and entertainment agency. With thousands of employees worldwide. Your comment doesn’t hold water.
    3
  1290. Does the lack of the winter rain. Along with unusually high winds make this much worse than it could have been ?
    3
  1291. Any U.K. channel caught lying will have OFCOM on their back. Could be heavily fined or even closed down..

  1294.  @klashnacovak47  Which criminals are you on about.
    3
  1295.  @klashnacovak47  Hearsay is not worth the paper it’s written on.
    3
  1296. aWOKEn to the ills of the world and wishing to combat them is aspirational.

  1297. BBC TVs 6pm reported that the PM has been fined.
    3
  1298.  @HooDie-Trench-GoTh2022  Good to hear they mean something to someone. But if anyone uses them when answering me they go straight over my head.
    3
  1299. @ Sod who he does and doesn’t walk with. London now has cleaner air.
    3
  1300.  @jokeychin The BBC hasn’t ever received USAID money. Where did you get the idea it had. Was it some comment on social media.
    3
  1301. Bit surprised to see cheques in general use. In the U.K. I only use a cheque for birthday/Christmas presents. Everything else , card or online. I believe the same goes for most of your average Brits.
    3
  1302. The President of North Korea gave Trump to fingers. Went on to develop nuclear weapons.
    3
  1303. You can’t be prosecuted without evidence.
    3
  1304. If that many pedestrians are drunk drivers really do need to slow down.

    3
  1306. @ Man came out of Africa. I don’t subscribe to your geo engineering conspiracy theory.
    3
  1307. Hadn’t you noticed thenBBC is a huge international news and entertainment conglomerate.
    3
  1308. In some ways it’s a pity that the U.K. voted to leave the European Union & with it the Dublin agreement where you could send people back. Didn’t your Nigel warn you of this likely consequence ?
    3
  1309. The USA does seem to actively cutting itself from the rest of the world.
    3
  1310. It’s not been an unusually freezing winter in the U.K. midlands. It’s not been hot but the shifting seasons and increasing rainfall is affecting crop yields.
    3
  1311.  @octavianpopescu4776  Her not knowing came a surprise to me. Even more so because she used the her Bible reading to illustrate a point. Yes, she did actually admit that she not understand the term.
    3
  1312. How else is anyone going to have control over their own property ?
    3
  1313.  @hzgl  They are not illegal until their asylum claim has failed. They are routinely removed at that stage.
    3
  1314. @ As a working class pensioner I don’t claim to be one of the social elite. I am overall pleased with the BBC.
    3
  1315. @ it’s an issue that has many reports with recommendations. As we know from the past starting another review we mean sod all will be done before that’s finished. Perhaps taking it more years down the road.
    3
  1316. But occasionally sniffing a driver breath doesn’t do any harm.
    3
  1317.  @elenmoyo504 I don’t believe any of these gods exist.
    3
  1318. It will stop people in mini buses with a load of voting card from driving round polling stations.
    3
  1319. It’s perhaps a pity that Ukraine removed nuclear weapons from it’s land. Russias promise not to attack if they did so did not work.
    3
  1320. @ Russia has held those cards for three years. The Russian war machine is not that good.
    3
  1321. I have found saying thank you to Siri can disrupt the answer.
    3
  1322.  @julianaylor4351  Yep. These are common knowledge. But is the village in Devon ? I remember it as being near Devises as just off the edge of Salisbury Plain. Could be wrong on that because my last visit was during a joint exercise in the early 1970s.
    3
  1323.  @keithwalker3460  I also think modern slavers has a lot to do with it. The UK electorate voting to leave the Dublin agreement has helped the smugglers out no end.
    3
  1324. He will get rid of the windmills meaning less wind.
    3
  1325.  @curiositycloset2359 I agree .

  1329. They tend to have flash floods.
    3
  1330.  @Just_another_Euro_dude It’s still damaging. I have seen the results.
    3
  1331. That’s fine in the U.K. no need to buy a licence unless you do something that needs one. Still you Brits complain. In the Republic of Ireland a charge is levied on mobile & broadband bills.
    3
  1332. @ I believe the banners there to protect their copyright.
    3
  1333.  @-Kieron-  It would be easy to crop the video to get rid of that small logo. It not just the BBC other channels have a banner.
    3
  1334. We heard the Russian economy was about to collapse two years ago. Why should we believe it now. I am surprised Putin is still in power let alone show his face. Ukraine was supposed to take one month max.
    3
  1335. All have been done by the BBC & others.
    3
  1336.  @troublingrain3060  Satellite photos etc say different. Russia can’t say. ‘Not us’ & get away with it.
    3
  1337. I didn’t know CNG even was a thing. For me at least it was educational.
    3
  1338. ⁠ @Grassgrassgras The Oxford Street was designed to have delivery from the rear. Not through the front doors.
    3
  1339. @ That’s not the impression I got from BBC reporting.
    3
  1340. @mdog6726You are correct if people calmed down we could have an adult conversation.
    3
  1341. I believed the ‘you wouldn’t believe it’ so did not watch.
    3
  1342. Jobsworth. Some who is doing what they are being paid for. I expect Council employees to do that.
    3
  1343.  @Guffior  Looks like you may benefit from working on your tone of voice. Did not come across on the page.
    3
  1344. You achieved that by voting leave.
    3
  1345. What does Qutar have to do with the BBC ?
    3
  1346.  @whitelines3097  It or a sister vessel spent about two years in Lerwick as a dorm for oil & gas workers. Something different. Only one to a bedroom & no bunk beds to get two in.
    3
  1347.  @mrdoogle5931  Are you like me. Have a problem understanding writing English ? Neil allegedly put in a lot of work. The court allegedly found the alleged perp not guilty.
    3
  1348. Was there any need for the walking across baby bones comment ? It seemed unnecessary & sounded a little childish.
    3
  1349. I also feel the nasty comments aren’t called for.
    3
  1350. Why. What’s happened.
    3
  1351. The people wearing masks can feel endangered by people who aren't. The fact that someone claims exemption does not alter the perceived danger. Plus claims for exemption have been discredited by people all over the net saying. "I have no intention of either being vaccinated or wearing a mask." That person not wearing a mask may also be unvaccinated. I really don't want them in a shop while I am there.
    3
  1352. Economies all over the world are in trouble largely down to Russia invading Ukraine. Food supplies in parts of the world are also disrupted. Ukraine is or was one of the world’s largest grain producers. Only one shipment of grain has left Odesa since the Russians invaded. That’s putting food prices up for a start. Russia is starting to starve Europe of oil & gas. Meaning it has to be purchased elsewhere. Putting up energy costs.
    3
  1353. Capita are tasked with keeping the TV licence database. If the premise doesn’t have a licence they need to check. If you don’t reply they will need to keep asking. Reply & you normally won’t hear anything for the next couple of years. Don’t reply & you can have a Boy Scout glow because you will be keeping people in work.
    3
  1354. I’m not. Please explain.
    3
  1355.  @V8Hungry Anyone using anything as a weapon is guilty of an offence.

  1357. What have the BBC lost. It’s all content. Contents earns money.
    3
  1358. It happens everywhere. Even in a white village.
    3
  1359.  @barry5138  A flood would not wait. But you may have time to act before it comes under your door.
    3
  1360.  @adjjackson9331  looks like you may have not seen/heard the fact that it’s a system to be used mainly for local alerts. It just happened that it’s been tested nationwide.
    3
  1361. I feel sure there will be plenty of volunteers. I would be very tempted.
    3
  1362. Correct anyone found to be stepping out of line is out on their ear.
    3
  1363. No body makes anyone binge watch. But at least the BBC are now affording people the option.
    3
  1364. A bit of lighthearted content is good.
    3
  1365. @ In that case why is he insisting on it.
    3
  1366.  @FBAExapt  I am not making excuses.
    3
  1367. Many countries have women in front line roles.
    3
  1368.  @rb1062 Why would anyone trust our Nigel. He told us vote leave & the U.K. will be greeted with a bright new dawn. Even Nigel may have less money than he did have pre Brexit. He must have had the money needed to open that account in the first place.
    3
  1369. I have been with Apple since 2016. Pretty sure I am not an idiot. Not sure idiot’s can afford Apple products.
    3
  1370.  @levelcrossing150  Why on earth would you want to take the risk involved with excepting cheques.
    3
  1371. Nothing illegal about claiming asylum.
    3
  1372. Goes to prison ? Why would that happen. Overall she has done a very good job.
    3
  1373. You tell them Anna.
    3
  1374. How many times have we heard that before. At least half a dozen in my lifetime.
    3
  1375. It was there on BBC One TV News. Also BBC Radio Four News. Sorry you missed it.
    3
  1376. That’s the reason fines are collected by attachments on earnings or befits.
    3
  1377.  @fanfeck2844 The RNLI does not do that. Who are you thinking of ?
    3
  1378.  @Fahrenheit451.  How could you defund the RNLI ?
    3
  1379.  @John-mz8rj  People on these boats very often find themselves. The smugglers overload them.
    3
  1380.  @FunkySpaceLord I don’t. Tell me please.
    3
  1381. Sorry to disappoint. Turns out it’s not a Muslim shooter. The usual suspect is someone who has been bullied.
    3
  1382.  @spikeman68 Not sure many want to return to the Trump stagnation years. Donald Trump is a TV personality who’s act has grown stale.
    3
  1383.  @_M-_-C_  It’s TV licence not a BBC licence. Nobody is forced to do anything that needs one.
    3
  1384. Yep. In their case. They have the power to scare off cruise ships. Have they shot themselves in the foot ?
    3
  1385. They have done. Including the fact that Labour has suspended him.
    3
  1386. Sweden is on the same latitude as Canada. Stretching up to near the Arctic Circle. It can become quite chilly up there. Swedes are not the type to moan for no reason. They a generally people looking for solution rather than problems.
    3
  1387. Apparently in the U.K. people are entitled to legal representation. If the can’t afford a lawyer they can have one under something called Legal Aid. Apparently the pay is poor so they won’t be getting the best lawyers.
    3
  1388.  @burkey548 Hate can eat your heart.
    3
  1389.  @WayneByrne-hs3pz  It’s a bit like a fishing permit you only need one if you fish. If you don’t fish you don’t need one. The TV license is the same if you don’t do anything the need one you won’t be asked to pay up. Not at all like like a protection scheme.
    3
  1390.  @Sebastian-zn3dx  Speaking as a European I believe you are mistaken.
    3
  1391. I have had 7 of the Covid 19 jabs. Kept me safe so far.
    3
  1392. Why poor BBC. Trump winning is likely to provide masses of content. So a win form all news outlets.
    3
  1393. @ People on the left complain about right wing bias. On the right they complain about left wing bias. So overall it balances out. But if Donald Trump does only half the things he has promised it will liven things up. Controversy generates income.
    3
  1394.  @Mace6962  What on earth has that to do with the UK. They are not even on the same continent.
    3
  1395. The BBC are respectful of the Georgian democratic process.
    3
  1396.  @MrJeffcoley1 I have been assured that the museum is well worth the entrance fee. What did you think of it ?
    3
  1397. At this stage the U.K. is not allowing the US to extradite him. Even though the US has an extradition treaty with the U.K.
    3
  1398.  @stuartvale2901  The law says the license requirement has to be kept up to date. Get over it. Looks like it’s a good job there are checks. Too many appear to be ripping off those who are paying.
    3
  1399.  @williammeek4078  That is not how it works. One thing I am not happy with is people who should be paying effectively ripping off those who are.
    3
  1400. @ I have no idea where they are.
    3
  1401. Only a towny would believe that solar farms could be installed without local consultation.

  1410.  @graememckay9972  The last reports I saw. Pro Chris Whitty in front of a Parliamentary Committee said can’t be 100% sure of the data as yet.

  1412. Is anyone selling photos/videos via OnlyFans checking who is buying them.
    3
  1413. He has not done that.
    3
  1414. Reminds me of the early 1960s Radio Moscow output.
    3
  1415. Ms Patel said. I will get the numbers of people crossing down to almost zero. To me this implies. 1. She did not read or just did not understand her brief. 2. Perhaps just told the public what they wanted to hear even knowing that international law meant she has no chance. Other than to let them in.
    3
  1416. That doesn’t compute. Not when YouTube comments keep telling the world that that benefit claimants had money coming out of their ears.

  1417. I don’t. Best you tell me.

    3
  1422.  @TayWoode  If you do something that requires a TV licence you should have one. The same with owning a shotgun. One more thing no way would I recommend Any 20mph bike. Too much speed differential in normal traffic.

  1430.  @fordprefect4345  Not just rich people. Private Equity Companies are buying property. They usually have no interest in long term lets. Much more profit in short term. In the meantime property values are pushed up so they win both ways.
    3
  1431.  @robbie_  The bank or any other business does not give a reason for saying we don’t want you custom. Which means the ex-customer doesn’t have anything concrete to complain about. But that does not stop people guessing & putting it out as though it were fact.
    3
  1432.  @MrThe1234guy  As a Brit I can’t agree. Glad we had Mrs Queen rather than many of your Presidents.

  1444.  @sh.4409  Global Britain has to abide by international laws. While in the EU as your Nigel knew full well. People could be sent back under the Dublin agreement. You voted to end that. Once you could no longer return any is it a surprise that numbers crossing trebled in a year. Don’t you think complaining is a bit of a cheek ? One good thing has come out of it. For Nigel boats are the gift that keeps on giving.

  1446. Might be a good idea not to use the word attack in you witness statement.
    3
  1447. Our Nigel has admitted that money has been paid out of his account. Which took him below the account threshold. He has also admitted that Nat West had offered an account. Instead of taking up the offer he apparently decided to take up a well trodden self publicist path. Play the victim.
    3
  1448. Did another bank take you on. Or is it cash under the mattress ?

  1473. Also a shortage of Baby formula in Europe. Is that to do with President Biden ? Part of the problem over here may be people stockpiling.

  1489.  @annother3350  Our President appears to have lost out big time. He and JD really screwed their chances.
    3
  1490. @ it is a choice. The same as operating a vehicle on the roads. Nobody is forced to watch TV or iPlayer. Perhaps move the Republic of Ireland system where they pay a premium on phone and broadband bill. Or Russia & other countries where it comes out of general taxation. Where there is no choice. People in the UK are lucky in having choice.

  1494. Prove it.
    3
  1495.  @rikspilz4991  At least the TT does not leave bodies to be collected at a later date. The pandemic & the ban on climbing reportedly gave the authorities chance to remove bodies from the mountain. But either way people take it on themselves to race, climb, BACE jump, free climb, fly wing suits, scuba dive etc. They know the risks. Who are we to stop them.
    3
  1496.  @poopenfarten800 The Government will go after people for the loss of business & repair. But that will take time. Are you suggesting that repairs aren’t started before the money is sorted ?

    3
  1504. Pensioners were into shoplifting even before my time as a shop worker in the 1960s. Part of my training was watch the pensioners. Some of them will nick anything that isn’t bolted down. Apparently to add a thrill to otherwise dull lives.

  1505. It’s not a BBC joke. Reports about this sort of thing have been doing the rounds for decades.

    3
  1508.  @tomsheppard378  There has been plenty of comment about. Why are people who are causing problems apparently almost being supported by the police. That left to their own devices the public would soon sort them out. Would have received even more publicity if the police had not kept them out of danger & a couple had ended up in hospital.

  1513.  @nextentrepreneur9288 With Ukraine it was a straight forward Russian attack. Putin said something about taking over in weeks. He doesn’t show it but Putin must be embarrassed about his massive mistake.

  1518.  mikekane2492  The US is highly religious. The Bible is their President’s favourite book.
    3
  1519. Can’t see why he is being supported. The piano was located on private property. Private property means you need permission to film professionally & you also need to gain permission from anyone who appears in that video. He did not appear to have gained permission to video in the first place. Certainly did not gain permission to appear in a professional video from everyone shown in the video. Some of the people shown clearly did not want to be in it.
    3
  1520. Why would anyone be scared of President Putin’s posturing ?

  1522.  @Caneandunable No one in the U.K. is forced to anything that requires a TV licence.

  1524.  @geoffpoole483  Our Nigel is bit naughty if that’s the way he rewards an organisation that had been giving him air and screen time.

  1528.  @adrianthoroughgood1191  That’s what I had heard. The road crossing an old sandpit is tosh.

  1529. Exactly that’s all it is. The fact that it may be used for Channel crossings may or may not come into it.

  1537. I agree.
    3
  1538.  @MickyMathews-hz2kl It’s a TV licence. Not a BBC TV licence. The licence money goes to the Government.

  1545.  @ria.ethyria Seems a lot of fuss over a bit of paint. On the plus side it will focus attention on airfield perimeters. So they have done the MOD a favour.

  1546.  @gnomechomsky2524  Is it possible that two sentences could be served concurrently. Meaning the two six months sentences could be served in six months ?
    3
  1547.  @yvonneplant9434  I do know how trials work. I also know some go straight to jail. While some have to wait for various reports before a sentence is arrived at. I see Steve B’s legal team raising all sorts of objections to put off that day. Can you be sure he will actually be sentenced in October ? I can’t & in the meantime what’s the betting he will be sent more than enough cash to come out with a profit.

  1548. @markylonThey are are not building HS2 between Birmingham and Manchester. But there will be a sort of extension from Birmingham up to near Lichfield.

  1554.  @Toyos-yk3ri  I don’t see being well informed as a problem. One thing all the news outlets seemed to miss. Her blatant cultural appropriation.

  1561.  @MePeterNicholls  From things I have heard you are OK in the car as long as the keys are elsewhere. If you are going to leave someone who is over the limit in the car best take the keys with you. From what I have seen over the years having the keys in the car is the kicker. It is also worth remembering that it is still possible to be caught the morning after. I know someone who had been drinking in Arbroath. The next morning he set off for Aberdeen to catch the ferry to Shetland. The Police pulled him over. He was still over the limit. He went to court the same day & received a 12 month ban. He lives near Colchester but without a licence could not drive home. He ended up going by train. He had to pay to have his vehicle recovered. Turned out to be an expensive night out. It is also worth remembering that in Scotland the drink drive alcohol limit is lower than the rest of the U.K.

  1562. People & organisations who have aWOKEn to the worlds inequality & racism are to be applauded. Anyone against could be thought of as displaying fascist tendencies.

    3
  1576. This is not the first time the BBC has reported on this problem.

  1577. A large country is attacking a smaller one. The U.K. is helping the smaller defend itself. Better than just walking on by.
    3
  1578. @ Yep. You have hit the nail on the head.
    3
  1579. Did the alleged perpetrators see racism in the home. If so did it trigger their action ?
    3
  1580. In that case let’s make sure he gets it.
    3
  1581. We need to vote to pay a lot more Council Tax. That way the police could perhaps end up with the resources needed to deal with the problem.

    3
  1588.  @captainnemo190  Not if you just ask people to leave private property. You don’t need a reason to do that. The same way that you can ask people to leave your garden without the need to give a reason. Other than that you wish them to leave.
    3
  1589. I would think very carefully & perhaps consult a solicitor before willingly withholding Council Tax.
    3
  1590.  @michaelwheatland4565  Best of luck trying to garner support on the ground. A lot of shouting on the net. But very little fuss when traffic free streets came to our nearest town.

  1597. But best we know about it. Rather than being uninformed.
    3
  1598. Why not have solar & a Powerwall. A friend has that. Keeps both EVs charged no problem. Before his wife purchased hers they used to sell power to the grid.
    3
  1599. @ Some of them are saying that they did nothing wrong. Claiming that they believed that she was consensual. That it was part of a game. Not sure I believe them. But in the end it’s down to the court.
    3
  1600.  @yetidodger6650  Around Birmingham U.K. and surrounding areas for a start. I have not heard complaints about standards of workmanship.
    3
  1601.  @veglover1765 Nobody Needs it. It’s a matter of choice.
    3
  1602. What on earth are you talking about ?
    3
  1603. It’s there. Sorry you have missed it.
    3
  1604. The BBC reporting what’s happening. How is thar supporting ?
    3
  1605. She looks human to me. Nothing strange about that.
    3
  1606.  @ashleywilson2072  Not sure the police have the resources to run round checking dog licenses.
    3
  1607.  @fredmercury1314 Yep. You’re dead right.
    3
  1608. ‘NATO’ itself is not involved.
    3
  1609.  tiepup  I remember those smogs. With my mum walking along the kerb holding out a rolled up newspaper to guide the way. On a chilly night smoke rolling down roofs and spreading out across gardens. Not many cars in those days. Anyone thinking of growing up to be a lorry driver. None of your fancy artics. The target would be a four axle 10 ton job.
    3
  1610. Who has the BBC lost ?
    3
  1611. I am not keen on him either.
    3
  1612. Are Iceland selling something they describe as ‘Hot-cross Buns’ without a cross. If they are not described as Hot-cross buns I can’t see a problem. Perhaps Sky News are being economical with the truth.
    3
  1613. @ Those two words don’t mean anything on their own.
    3
  1614.  @danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307  Professional video filmed on private property showing private individuals speaking. ( Monetised on YouTube )
    3
  1615. I it was not an EV. The base vehicle does not come as an EV. They are diesel only.
    3
  1616. David Gilmore’s son swung from the cenotaph. Did he end up in court ?
    3
  1617.  @lorrainet6798  That is one of the things I also see on the odd occasion when they have put the parcel in the delivery box without ringing the door bell. But then I often receive an email with a photo of the package in the box.
    3
  1618. We voted for it. We were warned but people like me were labeled ‘Project Fear.’ Is it too late to be continually complaining. The country gave the Tories an even greater majority at the last General Election. Does all this moaning without any results just highlight just how powerless we little people are.
    3
  1619. Do you have solid evidence to support your claim ?
    3
  1620.  @stephen4121 Resigned because fell into the trap of trying to put their side after Nigel’s erroneous claim that he had been refused access to any bank account.
    3
  1621. Correct. It should have been a lot more.
    3
  1622. That did not happen.
    3
  1623. I agree with you. He is not as daft as he makes out.
    3
  1624. @ Sorry to disappoint. Most of the backlog been cleared away. But if you really want a smell perhaps try your armpits.
    3
  1625.  @TheBandit7613 A friend gets along nicely with his solar panels, Powerwall & EV. Some months the utility company even buys enough power from him to part offset what he pays other month. If a large enough proportion of people went this way the companies would not need more large power plants & associated infrastructure. He lives in an oceanic temperate zone & does not have air-con.
    3
  1626.  @ScottishRoss27  The Dover, Calais border is already a real hassle. Do we need more borders ?
    3
  1627. Yep. If they have internet access they can check if the vehicle has an insured driver. But they need a stop to confirm who the driver is.
    3
  1628. The EU parliament have announced that help is on the way.
    3
  1629.  @richardcummins5465  As the man with the wooden leg said. That’s a matter of a pinion.
    3
  1630. Why become annoyed. Does not make any difference other than your annoyance. I just chill much better than being upset.
    3
  1631.  @paulpaisley5291  Do you mean fewer. Rather than less ?
    3
  1632.  @re8746  I knew very few Europeans who disliked the U.S. Donald Trump and JD Vance have set about changing that. Europe used to spent billions on US produced arms. Most of that money is now due to be spent in Europe and Canada.
    3
  1633. Only so called. You don’t sound very committed.
    3
  1634.  @ishakkyusuf8784  Send what ever is needed. Rather than just walk by on the other side.
    3
  1635. That Stormy bet she can kickstart a Harley.
    3
  1636.  @meatballg8655 Doesn’t look funny.
    3
  1637. Isn’t that largely down to the consumer. Who even having to pay the EU tariffs. Appear to favour Chinese goods.
    3
  1638. The fact that you are welcoming will smooth things along.
    3
  1639. Thrown from the vehicle. Does that indicate the dead may not have been wearing belts.
    3
  1640.  @Zayphar  Some people are living in the exclusion zone. Although the authorities have asked them to leave some have been there since the time of the accident. Others have moved back. They have been visited by TV crews on numerous occasions. I have wondered if the authorities may like them to be there. After all not sure how anyone could be asked to volunteer to live there.
    3
  1641.  @lancemcque1459  The first reactors at Windscale were build to make bomb materials. Generating electricity was not the primary function.
    3
  1642. it’s the afternoon.
    3
  1643. Good that any chance of disrupting protests were stopped. Like many we did not have a TV so did not see the last Coronation. King Charles is younger than I am. I may not be around for the next.
    3
  1644.  @MrJesus4194  Being beaten up by the mob.
    3
  1645. @Ellie5621 I hope you don't mind my input. The late Queen was & now King Charles is the head of The Commonwealth with a worldwide population of over one billion people. The UK Prime Minister is white but everyone in her Cabinet is a person of color from all sorts of ethnic backgrounds. Can the US match that ?
    3
  1646. What evidence do you have to back up your corrupt claim ?
    3
  1647. Your joking. I have a feeling you have not read The Satanic Verses. It’s really quite boring. I could not see what the fuss was about.
    3
  1648. ULEZ is not a congestion charge. It’s about air pollution.
    3
  1649. Pretty sure I am not the only one who saw our Donald standing by a church and lifting an upside down Bible.
    3
  1650. @ How long before you gain a degree in mind reading ?
    3
  1651.  @ReverendWerewolf-gt6ni You say things were great. The Donald told the world. I won’t allow Kim to develop nuclear weapons. At the end of Trump’s term Kim had nuclear weapons and rockets capable of delivering them to US soil. Donald showed the world he is ineffective. Could not even LOCK HER UP.
    3
  1652. That’s OK if it is allowed to regenerate.
    3
  1653.  @jackthereaper4462  Sorry, I may be a bit dim. I have no idea what you are trying to say.
    3
  1654. Who is this them ?
    3
  1655. But it’s what triggers the floods.
    3
  1656. Has Braverman taken a leaf out of the Donald Trump playbook ?
    3
  1657. The BBC has reported that.
    3
  1658.  @jasonrustmann7535  Are you suggesting that he is racist. If so do your have any actual evidence to back that up. Or are you relying on racial profiling ?
    3
  1659.  @HzHz  That was not fun. Tens of thousands turned up. If anything like previous years the site could have been damaged like it had before. Don’t have anything against jazz cigarettes. But the traveler’s tended to leave mess & generally not respect respect local residents. Being middle aged at the time I remember the traveler groups as a bit of a plague. They had become too big for their boots.
    3
  1660. Always good to have an expert on the job.
    3
  1661.  @FrogScotch19-q4y Nobody in the U.K. is forced to do anything that requires a TV licence. Anymore than anyone is forced to do anything that requires a road fund licence.
    3
  1662. Can’t say I’m keen on her either.
    3
  1663. What plan ?
    3
  1664.  @davemitchell9484  That happened to me when a company car had been booked out in my name.
    3
  1665. Isn’t our Nigel spending time in the US onstage with The Donald. Nowhere near Clacton.
    3
  1666.  @goldilocks913  I have looked up the definition of a Katana. If your knife has a hinge it is not Katana.
    3
  1667. aWOKEn to the ills of the world and wishing to combat them is aspirational.
    3
  1668.  @suecarr323 Many don’t start work until 18 theses days. Perhaps retirement should now be 68.
    3
  1669. Should not be a problem. Trump would give half of Alaska to Russia to stave off hostilities.
    3
  1670. What on earth has it got to do with the government ?
    3
  1671. I agree.
    3
  1672. Is this another case where it would be best to leave the comments turned off.
    3
  1673. How can anyone really trust our Nigel. A lot apparently believed him when he said. Vote leave & the U.K. will enter a golden new dawn. It looks as though Nigel himself has ended up with less money.
    3
  1674.  @curiositycloset2359  Looks very good to me. Much better than putting it off & allowing many more to die. That would have been very naughty.
    3
  1675. No it doesn’t Gaza is largely concrete. Very little concrete here.
    3
  1676. But who is that interested when there’s football ?
    3
  1677. If the Gray Inquiry has been left to it’s own devices it could have published it findings. Unfortunately some people pressed for the police to become involved. The police finally did which changes the whole dynamic. Gray can no long publish anything that might affect a future court case. Effectively throttling Gray. With the backlog it could be months before anything comes to court. The people who pressed for police involvement probably meant well. But they are the ones to blame for effectively shutting down Gray.
    3
  1678. The scientists have powerful telescopes that could apparently see a golf ball on the moon, So why no pictures of the lunar landing sites.
    3
  1679. International Law. Global Britain is subject to them.
    3
  1680.  @SimonBlandford  You wrote & I quote. 20 mph limits on the motorway.
    3
  1681. I have a feeling you have little night flying experience.
    3
  1682.  @cosmicwartoad2587  Depending on circumstances I may support that approach.
    3
  1683.  @alisin1dland68  Even sheep aren’t often homeless. But I suppose it could fine for the single person. Perhaps a bit like wild camping.
    3
  1684.  @tomruddy2592  Why should people or organisations who have aWOKEn to the world’s inequalities & social ill’s ba problem & why would it cause them to go broke. Also why is do some people think it’s something to sneer at.
    3
  1685. Of course they do. It’s the only way they can know if a property is correctly licenced. Perhaps it ought to be done automatically via an equivalent of ANPR that automatically checks that vehicles are correctly documented.
    3
  1686.  @pip1723  Sometimes come across professional complainers in retail. We started saying. Sorry to hear your not happy. Perhaps it’s best you move on somewhere else.
    3
  1687. Should I be concerned by the fact I am not outraged ?
    3
  1688. In some ways a pity that the police keep them from a mob that may have given them a good kinking. A bit of pain may make them think twice about disrupting other people’s lives.
    3
  1689.  @miteshghadi3146 I am not convinced that you are telling the truth.
    3
  1690. Why are so many people apparently scared of the BBC.
    3
  1691.  @MrDominicBrant The UK can do that.
    3
  1692.  @SJG-nr8uj  In that case why on earth is the U.K. moaning the increased small boat traffic. No way can can say you did not know. Your Nigel Farage was even a member of the European Parliament. Making him an expert.
    3
  1693. Have you been forced to watch it ?
    3
  1694. No a friend & his wife run their EVs off grid using solar & a PowerWall.
    3
  1695.  @G-ra-ha-m  Can’t eat silver or gold.
    3
  1696. Can’t make the guy. Trying to stop a small European war. At the same time as starting a world war.
    3
  1697.  @Freedom_nesting  I don’t agree.
    3
  1698.  @KaeMaiden  I have no idea what you are on about. Please enlighten me.
    3
  1699. George says he is going nowhere. Not sure anyone can make him.
    3
  1700.  @Aaron-ng8vr The standards haven’t been lowered. DEI just gives a larger choice for the employer.
    3
  1701.  @enceladus4900  They have done. Sorry you missed it.
    3
  1702. Not political prisoners but criminals.
    3
  1703. Why don’t racist Republicans do like the First Nations? Move to reservations. It would be for their own good.
    3
  1704.  @FoookYourfeelings  Remind me was Hitler a leftist.
    3
  1705.  @Eric-lx8hp It’s a bit more complicated than that.
    3
  1706. Didn’t the piece explain that.
    3
  1707. @ Your tone of voice did not carry in print. Sorry to hear you thought it scary. Didn’t scare me.
    3
  1708. I remember the RE Continental GT from the early 1960. It was my dream bike but I only ever owned a Royal Enfield Crusader Sports. Unfortunately I came off it at top speed. It did not just slide. It tumbled. It looked a mess. Family pressure meant moving to cars.
    3
  1709. Why ?
    3
  1710.  @ukbiker1631  Just what changes are benefiting criminals ? Can't see them myself.
    3
  1711.  @Johnny_Caruthers  No one believes you.
    3
  1712.  @Isclachau  So what.
    3
  1713.  @eyesodd  Same with the Hillman Imp. Fire fatalities involving fuel systems meant the introduction of legislation after pressure from press & public.
    3
  1714.  @Bob-The-Guy  Ukraine is a fairly isolated conflict. The really important are these days is the Middle East. So many different actors. Inc Iran no friend of the U.S. Even threatened attack on US assets.
    3
  1715.  @karlnordinger5968  That’s why we need Blue down the ticket.
    3
  1716.  @Oldschoolrules123  But helping the other guy is the Christian thing to do.
    3
  1717. So what ?
    3
  1718. October 7th does appear to be some sort of trigger.
    3
  1719. The U.K. voted for Brexit. It’s what you wanted.
    3
  1720.  @Sunnybunnypi I think you have just come across one of former president’s beloved undereducated.
    3
  1721. It’s been that wet this year. I am thinking about converting my lawn to moss.
    3
  1722.  @ububox2087 I have been inside a 90 ton transformer. Some of the oil drained out. Me nine stone weakling in through inspection hatch to fix connections.
    3
  1723. Is it perhaps the case that the medical profession tends to support anti vaccination because they make more profit out of people becoming sick. Less profit from people just having a few jabs.
    3
  1724. How will you do that ?
    3
  1725. Looks like things could become interesting. Meaning increasing revenue for news outlets.
    3
  1726. The BBC’s job is to report. They are not expected to have an opinion.
    3
  1727. I had not noticed Starmer back stabbing the DonOLD.
    3
  1728. Perhaps drones heading for Moscow could have speakers. Then they could announce. ‘Package for President Putin.’
    3
  1729. Do the BBC have access to a video showing that. Does video even exist ?
    3
  1730.  @ChadThundercook Only about a month since Central Europe had abnormally bad floods.
    3
  1731. Personally I think it is little short of brilliant.
    3
  1732. @ I had not known about his drink habit.
    3
  1733.  @msmith7472  Why did the mine close. Was it because it started to cost more to mine the coal than it was worth ?
    3
  1734. My wife phoned them up to say she no longer needed a licence. A rebate for the unused months went into her account.
    3
  1735. I just love trial by social media.
    3
  1736. The BBC becoming the go to for even more people.
    3
  1737.  @gostshield  Why are you protecting a Karen .
    3
  1738. The BBC don’t ignore the Brits. Far from it.
    3
  1739.  @user-bi8ko7kc6h Sorry you are mistaken. Tire,/Tyre, harbor/harbour, aging/ageing, color/colour, etc.
    3
  1740. Was the dam going an ‘Italian Job.’ Were someone was supposed to just blow the doors. But used too much jelly & destroyed the lot.
    3
  1741. They are in the White House. Arranging help for the affected States. Not out getting I’m the way of rescue/recovery efforts.
    3
  1742. I am not in meltdown. Non of my friends and family aren’t either.
    3
  1743.  @codswallop164 Pretty sure the BBC don’t have the power to remove anybodies comments.
    3
  1744. Give it six months and Trump can be put out to golf. Leaving JD Vance in charge. Won’t that be fun.
    3
  1745. Possibly because the piece was centred on one person. They didn’t mention Admiral Nelson either.
    3
  1746. The don’t work with none CRT TVs. What does work is. If a TV is connected to the net your ISP knows exactly what you are watching.
    3
  1747. What on earth are you talking about ?
    3
  1748. The BBC have reported on radio, TV and online that plenty happened on Leeds. I prefer to believe the BBC than anyone/bot on the net.
    3
  1749. I am in poor health. Is that a good thing ?
    3
  1750.  @EVOpower  What gives you that idea ?
    3
  1751.  feral_husk I don’t.
    3
  1752.  @mrpink99  I believe that you are correct. Unfortunately I really don’t know how to make a difference.
    3
  1753.  @bethanyhealy4989 Why has Trump asked Republicans to block the border bill ?
    3
  1754. Nothing to do with pollution. Speed was the problem. Just one day in Venice & you may understand.
    3
  1755. If former President Trump could end the war in Ukraine it would give Putin even more of an opportunity to defend the ethnic Russians that he believes inhabit Alaska.
    3
  1756. Do you have any proof that anything happened ?
    3
  1757. I purchased a one year old diesel Kango in 2008. it’s now covered 125,000 miles. It’s still going. Not costing a lot to run. I haven’t ever perched a new car.
    3
  1758. Sounds like the ATF are on the people’s side.
    3
  1759. Why has political commentary descended to schoolyard level ?
    3
  1760.  @jimoconnor2594 what missing money. We all know Trump tells fibs.
    3
  1761. Please catch up. It has not been a criminal offence for about half a century.
    3
  1762.  @HooDie-Trench-GoTh2022 Trouble is once he has pled not guilty it has to go for trial.
    3
  1763. Still does with me.
    3
  1764. It’s not a city. It’s a country.
    3
  1765. They don’t but. Get over it. The U.K. voted itself into increased crossings. Don’t like it. Should have thought of that before voting for Brexit.
    3
  1766. Why ?
    3
  1767.  @NOWThatsRichy  I canceled for 12 yeas during a period when I did not own a TV. I now have a TV & am happy to pay up. Without the BBC the option appears to be stuck with the same old advertisements going round & round or pay out perhaps even more per year for a subscription service. The loss of BBC radio would also be a bit of a blow. Plus they say that the person who plays the piper calls the tune. Not sure I would wish advertisers to hold so much power.
    3
  1768.  @NOWThatsRichy  That is the best thing about the BBC. The left accuse them of being right wing. The right wing say they are pinkos. That’s why I like the BBC. Where else do you see balance like that. Anyway you do not have a licence so won’t be watching live TV or iPlayer. So why apparently be so bothered about those who do watch & are happy to pay ?
    3
  1769. Possibly remember Tucker's show is classed as entertainment. I have a feeling that Tucker Carlson is winding everyone up just for the fun of it. He appears to be enjoying himself.
    3
  1770. Trump rarely makes full sense. It’s often just word salad.
    3
  1771. Incase you hadn’t noticed Muslims have the same god as the Jews.
    3
  1772.  @phoque121 it’s a bit late now. But free birth pills might have been worth the money. Condoms would not have work.
    3
  1773. This is all content. It brings income. Which is good for all news organisations.
    3
  1774. I always look directly into the camera. The same as I look at people I am talking to. It’s rude to look elsewhere.
    3
  1775. @ I also don’t think that Denmark along with the EU and associated countries would allow that. The EU and associates have a very capable arms industry. Could easily do without the U.S. Better planes than the F35 that needs more time in the shop than it can spend in the air.
    3
  1776. It’s a pity that Donald Trump reneged on a deal where International monitors made sure Iran could not enrich uranium enough to make bombs.
    3
  1777. I felt amused rather than patronised. Perhaps I have the advantage of not feeling depressed.
    3
  1778.  @COIcultist People busy talking the price down. A used EV is huge value for money.
    3
  1779.  @joemiller9931  The breath tester did not appear until after 9.30. Following the Ministry of Silly Walks section.
    3
  1780. Why would the BBC be happy. Other than countries are providing copy.
    3
  1781.  @zuluwarrior1648  So shooting someone property out of the sky is not seen as criminal damage in Australia. Not like it is in some other countries.
    3
  1782. His parents did not look rich.
    3
  1783. Why would everyone who makes themselves disliked be surprised when people don’t want to know them ?
    3
  1784. On just what legal grounds.
    3
  1785. I worked for a company that would suggest that customers who were unhappy should go somewhere else. Worked a treat.
    3
  1786. Usually plenty rain in Ireland. Defo sounds like climate change.
    3
  1787. If she is that nervous. Perhaps she may like to think about giving up driving.
    3
  1788. @ With what we have seen so far. Not a problem.
    3
  1789.  @morbidlyoppressed9038  Sounds like you are having a bad week. But also who these ‘they’ you mention ?
    3
  1790. Nobody forcing you to.
    3
  1791. Nice to have something a bit light hearted for a change.
    3
  1792. That’s because the government wants these people caught & processed rather just be allowed to reach land & disappear up a beach.
    3
  1793.  @johnholmes5674  Thanks for the information. But they appear to be missing a trick on their website. A search for petrol or diesel brings zero results.
    3
  1794. Where on earth could you even plant billions of trees that could survive ?
    3
  1795. Why are people whinging about EVs. This is diesel powered vehicle. That model does not come with an EV option.
    3
  1796. The BBC hasn’t done anything to be shamed about.
    3
  1797. I quite like the BBC. Watch & listen many hours each week.
    3
  1798. Is it a big problem if only Trump’s base believes him.
    3
  1799. He has made it easier for farmers and fishermen to deal with the EU. Perhaps look in garden centre car parks. The pensioners don’t appear to have been screwed. Perhaps pensions no longer screwing the young like they were but that’s about it.
    3
  1800.  @GIBBO4182 I am a pensioner. One of the group who has been accused of ripping off the young. The deal with the EU is going to make it easier and cheaper for farmers and fishermen to deal with the EU.
    3
  1801. You say communists. Others claim they are right wing puppets.
    3
  1802. What has the BBC got to cry about ?
    3
  1803. Did Ms Boebert say which church ? Would it end up like Northern Ireland with a bloody battle for supremacy.
    3
  1804. Perhaps the descendants of the white Europeans who displaced the First Nations way want to go home. Back to Europe were they belong.
    3
  1805.  @choccolocco  Do you believe that will happen. I don't.
    3
  1806.  @Ktmfan450 Trump was OK with land mines during his presidency.
    3
  1807. She wasn’t allowed to get away with it. The BBC aired what she did. Allowed the world to see just what she is capable of.
    3
  1808. I like him.
    3
  1809. Because they are happening all the time and are no longer “News”
    3
  1810. Politicians can be voted out.
    3
  1811.  @Kevin-fq3zh  What could the UN say that we don’t already know.
    3
  1812. Why would Elon be bothered about Tesla. He has the USA.
    2
  1813.  @SounduSleep The police can do nothing if victims won’t testify.
    2
  1814. Would he need to be 18 for a rape charge ?
    2
  1815.  @matthewbaker2573 There are huge methane blowouts in northern Russia. Triggered by thawing of the permafrost.
    2
  1816.  @robinuk1949  On what grounds do you claim I am ignorant ?
    2
  1817. @ Nobody in the U.K. is forced to buy a licence if they don’t do anything to need one. Unlike other countries that give you little or no choice when they take your money.
    2
  1818.  @mrhouse3826 If that’s the case plenty are going to find that life is going to become even more expensive.
    2
  1819. Can’t see me stop😢buying Apple. I have too much invested in the brand.
    2
  1820. @ Tosh.
    2
  1821. @ Believe that and you will believe anything.
    2
  1822. Worth a try.
    2
  1823. The Scottish NC 500 has or had trowels in in lay-bys. Put there by Councils so people can bury their excretions.
    2
  1824. My Great Grandmother and Father had a midden in a central UK village property. It was apparently cleaned out every winter.
    2
  1825. I may be wrong but you could be correct.
    2
  1826. Answer me this. How did Trump get semis into to the area.
    2
  1827. Nudging non compliant vehicles out of the low emission zone in Birmingham has reduced pollution in and around it.
    2
  1828. What 10,000 ?
    2
  1829.  @markbudaden110  Making things up doesn’t make it real ? So now I ask what 14,000 ?
    2
  1830. They are speed cameras. They are spreading all across the U.K. motorways.
    2
  1831.  @mapledelight  It did not appear to have a dual seat or passenger footrests. To me looked like an e-bike. Passenger sat on carrier with legs dangling.
    2
  1832.  @TachyonDriver  Yep & the maximum penalty appears to be the same as riding without lights. Death.
    2
  1833. Why is a Fox host aiming to ramp up hatred ?
    2
  1834.  @riversidegardenradio9070  Nice of you to tell us that. You appear to have provided more intel than a dozen spies.
    2
  1835. Putin is the aggressor. Time he went home and started paying reparations.
    2
  1836. Why would he want a suit. They are so impractical.
    2
  1837. That’s not at all how I interpreted the report.
    2
  1838. He may have been, but is now much more than that. Let’s face it one European leader has been a painter.
    2
  1839.  @NilsLaVinci  His people beg to differ.
    2
  1840. The letters I receive don’t presume I am guilty. They just ask if my property is correctly licensed. Having a licence if it needs one or not if it doesn’t. Simple as that.
    2
  1841.  @geoffhaylock6848  Did the BBC know something the military did not ? Some how I doubt it.
    2
  1842.  @alanjm1234 Horses for courses. I would have taken the same decision. But these days 150 is my max drive. Meaning an EV works for me.
    2
  1843.  @eyesodd  Not sure a carpark owner wants an empty carpark.
    2
  1844.  @eyesodd  Have they found out people are paying while keep the carpark well used. If so I can’t blame them. If it’s a private park it’s good business. Councils need all the cash they can get their hands on. Either that or make further cuts.
    2
  1845.  @johnw2758  That’s a pity because his solar setup has a better return than money in the bank.
    2
  1846.  @gam1471  My mate & his wife both run EVs mostly off grid using solar panels & a PowerWall. Apparently apart from tyres they take the same amount of servicing as their washing machine, The panel & PowerWall cost money to install but he says the return is better than leaving the money in the bank & having to pay tax on the interest.
    2
  1847. I have not heard him claim direct motivation.
    2
  1848. Wasn’t it a canteen attacked. Not the plant.
    2
  1849.  @del-see-oh  Looks like it may be an idea to change international law.
    2
  1850.  @rexfordasiedu5963  The USA has not expanded to the Russian border. They and others have purely not stood by on the other-side while Ukraine is being invaded.
    2
  1851.  @rexfordasiedu5963  But Ukraine’s ground forces have not crossed into Russia. What Ukraine is doing is self defence.
    2
  1852. 2 stroke engines. Can damage air quality so not environmentally friendly.
    2
  1853.  @ba2u9  Did he pop upstream and pee in a river.
    2
  1854.  @TrojanRabbit521  That’s true. Why are people blaming President Biden for Trump era laws ?
    2
  1855. Was it like many branches a franchise. If so McDonald’s won’t have a record. Most people who work in a McDonald’s don’t work for McDonald’s.
    2
  1856.  @boofuu3145  I am more concerned about the far right.
    2
  1857. When did deserving anything ever come into it ?
    2
  1858.  @eddastrohmayer251 Someone has has been pulling your leg about Zelensky saying no negotiations. It’s Putin who isn’t interested.
    2
  1859. There is a possibility that Mother Earth could benefit from a massive decrease in population.
    2
  1860. Trump/Putin phone calls. Putin has promised to return Alaska to Russian control. Is Trump arranging to hand it over to avoid a fight ?
    2
  1861. This event doesn’t happen every year.
    2
  1862. Is that being classed as a Brexit benefit ? Is the UKs Boris Johnson still out looking for the Golden Dawn he promised ?
    2
  1863.  @johnnylatham9738  Don’t happen that way. Because bigotry doesn’t stop portions of society applying for jobs it drives up standards. Also with a little modification to the workplace blind and otherwise disabled people can be earning money and paying tax.
    2
  1864. @ Please show me proof of that you are not just a bigot.
    2
  1865. @ Plenty of,people of merit out there. But bigotry gets in the way.
    2
  1866. Trump’s voter’s aren’t going to be bothered by this. All the negative attention my even convince them they need to vote.
    2
  1867.  @peterthomas5792  Well said sir.
    2
  1868.  @rosepipin2552 Yep. All media benefits from conflict.
    2
  1869.  @bobhope5773  No I did not vote for Brexit. I kept getting it in the neck for being part of ‘Project Fear.’ As far as a queue at Dover goes I did not take any of the conflicting reports as gospel. I went to look for myself. Both up to the A20/A2 traffic Island at the port entrance & the customs facility at Stop 24. I suggest people don’t just go on repeating things they have heard & look for themselves.
    2
  1870. So far there’s no proof of incompetence on anybody’s part. But if it’s there is it will come out the in the air accident report.
    2
  1871.  @GICHUJ.J.NJURURI  Are you claiming that birthday, Christmas gifts etc are bribes ?
    2
  1872.  @jeanclaudejunior  No.
    2
  1873. How can treating like with like be escalation.
    2
  1874. Read insured accuracy. Is English your first language ?
    2
  1875.  @hiturbine Other people at saying the job must go to the Army Corps of Engineers. Claiming that & large clean up and construction job is beyond the Coast Guard’s expertise. Looks like you can’t please all the people all the time.
    2
  1876.  @originalkk882  I have had three jabs along with the rest of my close family. How many billion people have had the vaccine not waiting for 2024. How many people are still alive because we did not all wait ? The vaccinated are ashamed of those humans who for selfish reasons aren’t. If there is a person’s doctor has advised against it all well & good.
    2
  1877.  @annalieff-saxby568 Others see left wing bias. Is that called balanced reporting ?
    2
  1878. Looks like help will be on hand for Muslims. Who at present can find it hard to be allowed prayer time.
    2
  1879.  @jensonank2409  Sounds just like the USA.
    2
  1880.  @mayklcekson5511  Not sure the U.K. needs to be fanatical to wish to rejoin the EU. Just sensible.
    2
  1881.  @KemPeck1701  You have made an accusation. Backing it up is down you not me.
    2
  1882.  @exebit9366  You make it sound like you think the money goes straight into the Mayor’s pocket.
    2
  1883. One more reason to drive a stick shift.
    2
  1884. All going to plan. Has President Putin also said that ?
    2
  1885. Scaredy cat.
    2
  1886.  @victoriaAmarboye  At least a strong Donald Trump will be able to tell Putin. Get out of Ukraine and pay reparation.
    2
  1887.  @paulwainwright6903  It’s the same as retail. If you don’t want to deal with someone you just don’t. No need to give a reason in fact customer facing staff are trained not to offer even a possible reason.
    2
  1888. Early 1960s. New Scientist magazine said fusion was only 10 years away.
    2
  1889. Great JSO flash mob tactic. In, cause a bit of disruption on video. Gone before the fuzz have time to arrive.
    2
  1890. I did not receive that impression. Most people who take an interest will know it was a Boeing problem.
    2
  1891.  @ClarinoI  My experience on the M42 & other motorways pre & post variable speed limits taught the exact opposite.
    2
  1892.  @kalsidi That is very good question. I haven’t heard of animals being slaughtered. So the questioner now has two answers.
    2
  1893. Hasn't anyone who uses the internet already created their own international digital ID ?
    2
  1894. Illegals are not allowed a vote.
    2
  1895.  @janetblackford8450  I am a U.K. pensioner. The Winter Fuel Payment was always a bit of a bonus. There is one positive. Fewer people are slagging us off for having too much money.
    2
  1896.  @sirmalus5153 I didn’t get the impression they were trying to herald a disaster.
    2
  1897. Climate change could be quite a challenge.
    2
  1898. To comply with National air quality regs London along with other areas needs to keep vehicle pollution down. Manchester is apparently doing it by excluding all vehicles from many places. London is taking the line of nudging away the most polluting vehicles. Standing up by Alexandra Palace & looking towards the Thames the pollution is hanging there for all to see.
    2
  1899. Israel won’t allow any international news organisations into Gaza. Pity you missed that. Looks like you cancelled for no reason.
    2
  1900. No they have not been lowered. Standards are the same.
    2
  1901. I did not see the BBC assuming anything about ISIS. They reported that ISIS had claimed to have done it.
    2
  1902. What was it Elon’s child said to the President. Was it more than disrespectful ?
    2
  1903. The council were I used to live stopped clearing drains. All the run off caused the river to burst its banks were it goes through the town. The town now has less flooding rather than more.
    2
  1904. Who has ?
    2
  1905.  @mrgoodintent Research has been done in Scotland. Anyone driving round Scotland will have seen them for a couple of decades.
    2
  1906. Supported what ?
    2
  1907. It’s perhaps it should have said this video replaced the original. Apparently one of the buildings had been misnamed.
    2
  1908. I will second that option.
    2
  1909.  @Ode-to-Odysseus Yep. I agree.
    2
  1910. Is there any convincing evidence that these non compliant ambulances aren’t being sold on. But instead going for scrap ?
    2
  1911.  @Subcold Yep. Great idea.
    2
  1912. It has been abolished in England & Wales. Don’t know if it ever applied in Scotland. Source, Wikipedia.
    2
  1913. Looks as though you may not be in the demographic that EVs are aimed at.
    2
  1914.  @kotw2003 Just who is forced to pay ?
    2
  1915.  @kotw2003  You appear to have been misinformed. The Brits only need a TV license if they do something that needs one. Much like a shotgun license.
    2
  1916. In our own way many of us are climate criminals.
    2
  1917. He did not encourage people to do somethings that could lead to loss of life.
    2
  1918.  @veeganboy  Politicians changed the law in the U.K. People generally don’t sit/stand in the road anymore.
    2
  1919. Since when did groupies become victims ?
    2
  1920. Pensioners plus young kids have been shoplifting since before my time as a shop worker in the 1960s. Long before people used it as an excuse for racism.
    2
  1921. Why arrest her immediately. That will just tie them up for longer. They know who she is & documented her offences. The courts can deal with her in the fullness of time.
    2
  1922.  @danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307  Another comment says she has been. Hope you don’t mind if I find that more believable.
    2
  1923.  @danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307  Yep. You are correct. But I have the advantage of knowing how the system works.
    2
  1924.  @danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307  I am talking about experience with the law & the courts. Evangelical atheists have little truck with the Bible.
    2
  1925.  @starofdabloc  The BBC is just one place to get British new. The reports are on many channels. No way the BBC could get away with not reporting it.
    2
  1926. Which one ?
    2
  1927. Sadik Khan is English. London born and bred.
    2
  1928. It is a Hamas run Heath Ministry. Who else could hide tunnels under hospitals.
    2
  1929. As far as I am aware I am not required to tell a bank why I am shutting an account. I am thinking double standards. Why on earth should a bank be required to tell me why they are closing an account ?
    2
  1930.  @TayWoode  I usually aim to be sensible.
    2
  1931.  @Hereford1642  So what ?
    2
  1932.  @TayWoode  So what ?
    2
  1933.  @TayWoode  What, me worry ?
    2
  1934. I am not aware Apple or Disney having any particular woes. Please enlighten us.
    2
  1935.  @curiositycloset2359  The BBC is not the only news organisation in the world. Don’t be shy tell us what you are talking about.
    2
  1936. Headlines are there to draw you in.looks like it worked.
    2
  1937. Reading the comments makes we wonder how many people have mental health issues.
    2
  1938.  @Bungle-UK  I am awaiting further information rather than jumping to conclusions.
    2
  1939.  @Bungle-UK  The police saying it appears to be a mental health problem tells a lot. Seen images. Face smudged. Hands the same colour as mine. You seem obsessed with religion. Why is that. Do you have any ‘evidence’ that religion is involved.
    2
  1940.  @Bungle-UK  You say the police have arrested an immigrant. So what.
    2
  1941.  @Bungle-UK  Why should it be a problem ?
    2
  1942. Isn’t this Savile thing becoming a bit boring.
    2
  1943. Calling people my gang. Just like Hobbo in Last of the Summer Wine.
    2
  1944.  @Ampex196  He obviously has a reason to be there. Even if he was just popping in to see a friend .
    2
  1945.  @boarder6246  Not just speeding then. Two laws allegedly breached.
    2
  1946.  @boarder6246  I agree with you on that.
    2
  1947.  @carlogambino1979 That comment leads me to believe you don’t live in England. Possibly not even been there.
    2
  1948.  @MrsGardiner  The people I have argued with are not bothered cost & inconvenience. They just wanted out from under the yoke of the EU.
    2
  1949.  @jamesward9482 A car will not float in 4 inches of water.
    2
  1950. The BBC reported that the IDF said they had ‘recovered’ a body.
    2
  1951. Just because you don’t like something does not make it illegal. ULEZ has a democratic mandate. In the last London Mayoral election two people who promised tackling vehicle pollution polled over 90% between them. The Mayor polled over 50%. London has to keep vehicle pollution down to comply with U.K. law. How would you do the job ?
    2
  1952. God did not help a lot in Turkey & Syria when the earthquake hit.
    2
  1953. Russia must have been really scared. Or why else blow the dam ?
    2
  1954. Perhaps no one would stump up for him traveling.
    2
  1955.  @stevethe3060  Passing the MOT emissions and a Vehicle’s EURO ratings are not directly related. There is a complication. Not every town/city’s emissions charge zones are the same. Last time I checked Birmingham’s & Bath’s zones have different EURO rating requirements. Manchester is taking a different route. Not charging. Instead using traffic management they are increasingly restricting vehicle access. Including making some road’s traffic free by installing large planters at either end. I have seen this happening when delivering round the country. Means parking & carrying the package down the street to the door.
    2
  1956.  @stevethe3060  Swings & roundabouts. Mate. Swings & roundabouts.
    2
  1957.  @theskidmarkoforion4829  But it is TV Licensing business. Their contract with HMG requires that they keep a record of a property’s license status. They don’t need to pop round so much theses days. Your internet connected, TV, tablet, phone etc logs what you are looking at. At least you are helping to keep people in work.
    2
  1958. I remember mellow yellow.
    2
  1959. I remember early 80s while I still worked on the spanners. Diesel cars had been smelly & noisy. People had started to become aware of CO2 possibly affecting the climate. Diesels produced less CO2 per mile. Also diesels had just about reached price parity with petrol engine cars. Diesel was slightly cheaper than gas & still did more MPG. Diesel seemed to be a good thing. Diesel engined vehicle sales soared. Only later did people twig that their exhaust particulates are bad news. Damaging air quality especially in cities. Time to move on to vehicles with lower emissions ?
    2
  1960. I have a TV licence. Excellent value for money.
    2
  1961. Why doesn’t the U.K. Government run a bank to service people who for whatever reason others don’t want ?
    2
  1962. Been to our local ASDA 1/2/24. They take cash & card in store & fuel.
    2
  1963.  @BanjoPixelSnack  Does that stop you using a nearby supermarket ?
    2
  1964. Much preferred this style over the usual whinge.
    2
  1965.  @metalsonic123  You lost me when you said. 'Importing foreigners for the fun of it.'
    2
  1966. Whatever, they are still people.
    2
  1967. Russia’s dictator said. We are not going to invade Ukraine. He told a fib. If he does not tell the truth why should we believe anything that comes out of Russia ?
    2
  1968.  @jeffzuess9149  The London ULEZ is based around a vehicle’s Euro rating. ICE vehicles are being designed to become less polluting as the years pass. An area’s ( city, town etc ) max pollution level is set by law. The local area are responsible to comply with the law. Note. Euro ratings are standard worldwide.
    2
  1969. What makes you think that ?
    2
  1970. It’s a pity that the Russian people have been told so many fibs.
    2
  1971.  @jsc2606 As far as loyalty cards go. It’s up to the individual shopper. You pays you money & takes your choice.
    2
  1972.  @Paul-pb3vq  Please name two of the stations you claim they have closed in order to send money abroad.
    2
  1973.  @andrewdudson7750  One of the things the RNLI does is. Help make sure people are processed rather than just disappearing up a beach.
    2
  1974.  @bobcat2378  I donate to the RNLI. Have done since the early 1960s. I don’t mind if a percentage that money goes to help save lives elsewhere. As they say. You pays you money & takes your choice. You may not wish to help out other countries. That is your choice. But in the meantime don’t speak for me.
    2
  1975.  @noelward8047  Yes. Perhaps a little misleading because it has always covered. England, Scotland, Wales, ALL of Ireland. Plus associated seas & islands. It’s influence spreading further is part of U.K. soft power. In some ways like the Red Arrows.
    2
  1976.  @stoicsceptic8420 Plenty of reasons for them to be bitter. Their Nigel promised them a golden dawn. Didn’t mention also leaving the Dublin aggrieved whole trigger a boat people increase. Mind you for Nigel boat people are the gift that keeps.on giving.
    2
  1977. Correct.
    2
  1978. When it comes down to it being charged with criminal damage will stop people laughing.
    2
  1979. I believe you will find they are serious. Think it’s got sod all to do with Trump.
    2
  1980.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  Multiple sources inc the likes of Al Jazeera rather from RT. RT appears to be the modern equivalent of Radio Moscow that we listened to in the 60s.
    2
  1981.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  I am perfectly happy with my current situation. But thanks for your apparent concern. Plus why should I believe anything that you & your claimed contacts come up with. After all personal experience tells us that a large proportion of ‘facts’ that appear on YouTube are just something that has been made up to suit a narrative.
    2
  1982.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  If you are not happy with me. Tough.
    2
  1983.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  I am very happy to be seen as a Liberal. But I do wonder about someone who uses it as an insult.
    2
  1984. So are you saying humans are affecting the climate ?
    2
  1985. @HelenCrane-jl1nv Why did a former administration make it illegal for asylum seekers to work ? The could be paying money into the exchequer.
    2
  1986. Not been over since the start of the pandemic but. Returning from Calais you could see people getting out of coaches. Before walking through French emigration, followed by U.K. immigration & rejoining the coach. This happened while security checked the coach. Maybe it will be much the same when leaving through Dover. Only difference being your passport will be checked by a machine & not a person. How long would it take if a person needed to check your passport & fingerprint. It may be much quicker to have AI carry out the checks. As others have pointed out we would be stuck with this check system even if we had voted stay. We perhaps aught to be great full that the U.K. Gov are allowing Europe to do the checks before vehicles go to the the holding areas to wait for their ferry to dock. The option is carrying out the the check before being allowed to leave the port at Calais. May I ask. What percentage of people reading this would prefer the check be carried out in Calais ?

  1987. My question was answered. To help stop spread of disease. Bit surprised there appear to be people who did not grasp the concept.
    2
  1988. Is it time the West Coast states joined Canada ?
    2
  1989. Why would the cargo be junked. There’s about 1400 containers on the ship. Very few appear damaged.
    2
  1990.  @stevekelly5166  Sainsbury did exist in the 60s. There was definitely one in North Street, Rugby before 1963.
    2
  1991. Everyone can only be a suspect until proven guilty.
    2
  1992.  @alexb6695 The BBC have also shown video of aid going in by sea. Taken by barge from Cyprus & being delivered onto the Gaza beach. The USA is building a temporary harbour on the beach so aid can go in through that.
    2
  1993. The 2nd. Did it mention guns. Nobody needs a gun to be armed. The gun seems to have become the favourite tool of mass murderers. Have guns now just more trouble than they are worth.
    2
  1994. Looks like many people at all levels were a bit lax with due diligence.
    2
  1995.  JKKJ-l6b  Free Mars Bars for all.
    2
  1996.  @Willy-z9o Why do you think his ethnicity has any importance.
    2
  1997. People keep saying some countries outside the U.K. have charges added onto electric, phone, broadband etc. People in the U.K. have a choice. Do you feel that people may complain if that choice is taken away ?
    2
  1998.  @oneoflokis  I believe that in the Irish Republic is charged via phone & broadband bill. In Australia a levy on electricity bills. But if those are incorrect it does not really matter if it’s those or general taxation. The U.K. seems to have problems being given a choice. Perhaps take away the choice like it is in Russia where it apparently comes out of general taxation giving the government direct control over the national broadcaster.
    2
  1999.  @wisteela  If you watch using Sky Glass. Sky computers know just what you are watching. It’s all logged on the system. Same with any other service delivered via broadband.
    2
  2000.  @antoninagarkalna1444  So what ? London is still London.
    2
  2001. Why are some citizens letting us all down. If people stopped buying drugs the sellers would close down. Just like if people stopped using a shop it will shut.
    2
  2002.  @sedg03  So what. It’s still down to the buyers. They are the one’s driving the business. No buyers no business.
    2
  2003. If you are talking about the USA please say so. Don’t keep calling it America. America starts north of the Arctic Circle and ends south of the Antarctic Circle.
    2
  2004. In your dreams.
    2
  2005.  @IloveCamels335 I agree with you.
    2
  2006.  @BIBIWCICC  isn’t it six of one & half dozen of the other ?
    2
  2007. @ Any chance of having that in English ?
    2
  2008. @ Every day is a school day. Thanks for your input.
    2
  2009. Epiphany.
    2
  2010.  @ctibpo991  please provide some proof that he has over a billion dollars hidden away. The Pandora Papers did not seem to prove anything.
    2
  2011. That a disgusting question.
    2
  2012. I believe you may benefit from watching again. Check to see if anything backs up your claim.
    2
  2013. Then why are they there ?
    2
  2014.  @bethanyhealy4989 Sorry I can’t agree with your statement.
    2
  2015. Most of America is pretty good. The USA is the tacky bit.
    2
  2016.  @unionjackjackson4352 Not a crime if you are applying for asylum.
    2
  2017. Is it true or just a nasty rumour. Did Donald Trump omit to place his hand on the Bible at his investiture ?
    2
  2018. What is the sad news ?
    2
  2019. Ukraine did not surrender to threats. Why should they. ? They did not push for war.
    2
  2020.  @anibalfernando3027 Our Nigel wasn’t 100% honest when he claimed he could not get a bank account.
    2
  2021. It’s a news report viewed mostly on phones & tablets.
    2
  2022.  @AndrewLomax80 Trump appears to be deliberately miss leading about DEI. It doesn’t lower standards.
    2
  2023. They found it while on the mountain. Not there searching.
    2
  2024. Why would they be loosing their jobs. The ATC talked to both pilots. ATC can’t be blamed for the helicopter pilot spotting the wrong jet ?
    2
  2025. If there is a jab that will stop me from becoming ill/disable/or dead & I will be in the Q.
    2
  2026. Tyre or tire ?
    2
  2027. They are treated to stop it getting in. So no need to evacuate.
    2
  2028. Why should we believe anything that Trump says.
    2
  2029. The Jews and Muslims share the same god.
    2
  2030. Yes !
    2
  2031.  @GemmaHentsch  Yes but in the country they are in at present. Not sure international law says they can invade Poland.
    2
  2032.  @jimjiminyjaroo300  Ask Belarus the ones who are herding these people toward their border.
    2
  2033.  @GenerationX1984  Did men think if I vote for her I might be in with a chance.
    2
  2034. I agree. The few extra years sit well.
    2
  2035.  @kieronbowker9983 Just found out. You don’t know the history of the Royal Family. At one stage a Scot became King of England & Scotland.
    2
  2036. @ A very good question. Personally I don’t think it exists.
    2
  2037. Turns out most of the manufactured things I can buy are made in China.
    2
  2038. Someone has been pulling your leg. Perhaps don’t believe everything you are told. Perhaps fact check.
    2
  2039. I can remember that situation in the 1970s. There used to be black outs in the 1940s before the full National Grid & towns had their own power stations. If the station became overloaded the power would go off. I am too young to swear to this but as far as I can remember no chance of a warning. Every household has a stack of candles & many had hung onto the oil lamps they used before mains electricity reached them.
    2
  2040. The bus driver needs to complete the route in the scheduled time. That can put also put pressure on the diver. The same goes for delivery drivers. Not keeping to schedule can end up in a disciplinary. Perhaps to verbal then written warnings. Possibly even leading to dismissal. I have noticed red light jumping is fairly common in North Warwickshire & the West Midlands. It’s a fact of life. I have learned to look out for it.
    2
  2041. Reports from Europe suggest that when a vehicles range drops to 80%. Batteries are repurposed as load balancers in solar farms. Gives them a roll while recycling is improved.
    2
  2042. What loss ?
    2
  2043.  @brexitgreens  Yes.
    2
  2044.  @TheSwissChalet  There is a downside. The 'insurance men' know there will be cash on site. Relevant in places like southern Italy & Sicily etc.
    2
  2045.  @ChessIsJustAGame  I can’t see a problem. Started with a Barclaycard in the 1960s. Not had money go missing in over half a century. Just checked a couple of cards they are valid over a five year period. Which is long enough. The problems you report make me wonder if you have been a bit lax with your security, or perhaps not stuck with major companies. Edit update. I have had my pocket picked on two occasions. Once for a pack of cigarettes the other, something of no value to a thief. Whoever lifted it apparently saw that having in their possession could lead to a conviction. They dropped it. It was picked up & returned by someone who recognised it. Never been robbed or burgled.
    2
  2046. I haven’t seen Russians posting that I should be afraid of the big bomba for a while.
    2
  2047.  @abstract33 Remainer’s have a point.
    2
  2048.  @lindensheffield6434  Make a change from UK pensioners being accused of being well off so much so we are disadvantaging the young.
    2
  2049. You have not made it in any way clear. Which country do you claim lives under a police state ?
    2
  2050. The London electorate voted for it. In the last Mayoral election candidates who promised action polled over 90% of the vote. The Mayor polled over 50% ULEZ has a clear demographic mandate.
    2
  2051. @ My friend hasn’t had paint problems with either of his Tesla’s.
    2
  2052. Do they pay well. Can’t see the BBC working on the cheap.
    2
  2053. I don’t live in fear why would I ?
    2
  2054. King Canute proved centuries ago the no mater how powerful no one can turn the tide. I wish politicians wouldn’t claim they can.
    2
  2055. Please explain. How will Donald Trump get his hands on the money ?
    2
  2056. Perhaps take a hint from earlier suggestions. Make our home, stores & work in the same vertical city.
    2
  2057. Scotland has 20mph zones. Some have been there for decades. They are now expanding them in a big way using the data from earlier schemes to point out the advantages.
    2
  2058.  @Roland_Tr909_Swing  This is just one of their YouTube channels. Have you missed their websites. Radio, TV stations. All the foreign language stations. Both on TV, radio & internet.
    2
  2059. Kari Lake another one that would do well on the comedy circuit. Like MTG & Loren Robert she would not need rewrite her act.
    2
  2060.  @boyermchristopher1 The BBC and Al Jesera are about as good as it gets.
    2
  2061.  @KB-ke3fi  Perhaps the Republican’s could end their blocking of the Border bill.
    2
  2062. Not even. Stand your ground.
    2
  2063. They just reported. Not their job to care.
    2
  2064. Recommendations are there. A new national enquiry will possibly stop them being implemented. It would just kick the can down the road. Effectively wasting the money already spent.
    2
  2065. The BBC asked who won the debate. Leaving people to make up their own mind.
    2
  2066. Making money is the American way. They should be applauded.
    2
  2067.  @gingerjessy That’s nice. But how would they know if you have a licence.
    2
  2068.  @derekheeps1244  You are perfectly correct. It is down to each individual driver to check a vehicle before driving it on the road.
    2
  2069.  @Ju1ian10001  I tested in the 70s & 80s. The test changed during those years. But as you say the changes have accelerated like never before. In my day monthly bulletins keep us up to date. But I have a feeling that testers do really require refresher courses. To show things have changed. Someone from the testing people turned up at work. The workshop foreman asked if I could become a tester. The chap from the ministry asked if I knew what to do. He asked to see me complete a test. I obviously did it correctly because he signed me off there & then.
    2
  2070. No one in the UK is forced to do anything that requires a licence.
    2
  2071. Who is even interested.
    2
  2072. Putin set an armoured column in all-most three years ago. Look like he made a massive mistake.
    2
  2073. Trump apparently doesn’t.
    2
  2074.  @lindamiller7851 They were rescued by the French.
    2
  2075.  @nuqwestr aWOKEn to the ills of the world & wishing to combat them is aspirational.
    2
  2076.  @nuqwestr  I am nothing special.
    2
  2077.  @toscatattertail9813  That happens. I have personal knowledge. My first wife thought the family would buy us a house with land & stables for horses.
    2
  2078.  @kenteague4802  If there is any money in the family there is always home schooling. No need to mix with groundlings like me.
    2
  2079.  @garfield12344  Do you also believe in the tooth fairy ?
    2
  2080.  @brianfitzell1664  Who ever replaces the current Mayor will need to do something to keep London’s air pollution within the U.K. legal limit.
    2
  2081.  @ey8486  But what will she do in place of ULEZ ? Perhaps use traffic management to nudge vehicles away. Like they are doing In Manchester. ULEZ is becoming less relevant as time passes. About two years ago about 10% of vehicles registered in the ULEZ area were non compliant. That figure will drop as time passes. Also the poorest people tend to live near the high pollution routes. A drop in pollution should benefit them the most.
    2
  2082.  @ducthman4737  Why that there then ?
    2
  2083.  @GT380man  Millions have been spent trying to fix the Underground. Jago Hazard has made an informed YouTube video on the subject. I believe it is worth watching. London’s air clean ? Trying standing up at Alexandra Palace on a clear day. Look toward the river, think you may change your mind.
    2
  2084.  @thomashillier6692  A poll is on the cards. At one time the demographics would favour stay separate. Things have changed. One section has gained in strength. The old guard is no longer the largest group. I am pretty sure that if Bo-Jo allowed a vote Ireland would reverse Partition.
    2
  2085.  @johnrogan7473  You have just made a very good case for N.I. to become independent. Free from it all.
    2
  2086. Perhaps the English speakers want to reach the UK because they are English speakers. Possibly because they have friends and relatives in England.
    2
  2087. Spotted most of these forms in a South Wales University test station about 30 years ago.
    2
  2088. ⁠ @JasonSmith-nv6qz How did you get on after not paying the M1 etc. Is it because you have not driven through any of them.
    2
  2089. The BBC are reporting that on radio, TV, online & social media.
    2
  2090. BYD have overtaken Tesla in vehicle sales.
    2
  2091.  @Alec72HD I collided with a wall on the way to work.
    2
  2092.  @CommonMind-q3v  But it was only damaged. Certainly not destroyed.
    2
  2093. Why would the BBC be crying rivers ?
    2
  2094.  @Headwind-1 Now Global Britain you are on your own. International Law says hand them over.
    2
  2095. No cars allowed into Venice.
    2
  2096. ⁠ @stephenweir9871  I feel a bit sorry for the poor copper who just knows an expensive lawyer will try to rip him/her apart in court.
    2
  2097. Do you believe that is true ?
    2
  2098. Have you missed the fact that barristers are on strike because Legal Aid money has been cut back.
    2
  2099. I listened carefully. Did not hear them use the word Colonised. Let me have a time stamp and I will listen again.
    2
  2100. The BBC explained the Electoral College in this video.
    2
  2101. Sorry to hear you say that people in the UK can’t afford to heat or eat. I get the impression you’re not 100% accurate.
    2
  2102. Isn’t the ULEZ charge based on the Euro rating supplied by the manufacturer. If so unless the manufacturers are obliged to change the rating retrospectively will the cheat affect which vehicles are compliant ?
    2
  2103. What crimes ?
    2
  2104. Sat Nav that have an avoid Tolls routing function. Do they flag up ULEZs as tolls.
    2
  2105. Russian media is already setting out to undermine President Elect Trump. Things like showing his wife’s girly modelling days photos. Along with laughing at him for being married to an immigrant. Pointing out she sounds more Russian than Us. Strong ? He couldn’t even lock her up. Let alone stopping Kim from developing nuclear weapons.
    2
  2106.  @MaryHardymsmary_h I am rather hoping that people we’ll be more sensible than you feel they may be.
    2
  2107. I don’t need to give a reason to give someone their lawnmower. Why would a bank need to give a reason for returning money ?
    2
  2108. I remember a couple of young ladies from Rugby, England who provided negotiable affection. I wonder if they are related ?
    2
  2109.  @olwens1368  Let’s wait to see what actually happens shall we.
    2
  2110. @LegalNoticesuk-l3m From where I stand the U.K. isn’t in a mess.
    2
  2111. Mental health apart. Haven’t we all done something we don’t talk about.
    2
  2112.  @EMMANUELIWUOHA.  What difference would his wilful negligence make to any potential insurance pay out ?
    2
  2113.  @amandahudson431  He will also have the embarrassment of his neighbours knowing where he spent time.
    2
  2114. Sounds like someone has pulled your leg. The power is not turned on until after the charger is securely plugged in. No more dangerous than the electric gas pump.
    2
  2115.  @lowlyrover358  In that case why do some people claim the BBC is just left wing pinkos. Others claim the BBC is stuffed with right wing reactionaries. Shows balance. In my humble view better for society than an echo chamber.
    2
  2116.  @bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24  It has been allegedly that Keillor Fit technicians are strongly encouraged to sell up. Not reaching their monthly target could be seen as falling down on the job.
    2
  2117. A flood wall collapsed. It hadn’t been removed.
    2
  2118.  @Vonusias I also believe the BBC is about as good as you can get.
    2
  2119. King Canute couldn’t turn back the tide. What makes people believe she can ?
    2
  2120. It is only a problem if you use that plate in the EU. You fine as long as you only drive in the U.K. It’s another Brexit thing.
    2
  2121. My lates wife made me get rid of mine. Claimed it was a bomb.
    2
  2122. What would you call it then. I personally believe they are stranded for the next few months.
    2
  2123. Millions die every year. Life is 100% fatal.
    2
  2124.  @DruidzTV  I am glad for the vaccine. A relative & a couple of mates died. Plus one on oxygen in hospital for a couple of weeks. The vaccine came along & that stopped.
    2
  2125.  @DruidzTV  No I won’t.
    2
  2126.  @DruidzTV Wasn’t it a well respected doctor that came out with the misinformation about the MMR vaccine ?
    2
  2127.  @DruidzTV  I believe you & I are talking about total different things. I am referring to the doctor that said the MMR vaccine caused autism. Something that has been totally discredited.
    2
  2128.  @cliffboulton8763  Just what do you mean by normal. Also what is a Wazock is it an insult ?
    2
  2129.  @NisseCrusader The police need a reasonable period of time to prove to a court that the protesters are not just being a bit slow. Something an expensive lawyer will try try to claim. Even perhaps claim false arrest. In that situation the copper & his evidence needs to be bulletproof.
    2
  2130.  @nonyafkinbznes1420 No Jaywalking law in the U.K. Different in New York were I am told you can pick up a fine for walking against the lights. Perhaps bring a jaywalking offence to the U.K. It could be a nice little earner.
    2
  2131.  @Paul-li9hq  I won’t be looking, because apart from the fact I would prefer the cost to come out of general taxation. I am happy with the license. I thought an answer may help others.
    2
  2132.  @ramalama9650  Isn’t inciting violence a criminal offence ?
    2
  2133.  @Dave-r4u  There seems to be quite a lot of paranoia about.
    2
  2134.  @Thurgosh_OG  I did not specify refer to the TV License. There appears to be an ever increased level of overall paranoia in the world. But why are people so scared ? What, me worry ? Helps people ‘Go with the flow.’
    2
  2135. I would not count on it. He could not stop Kim developing nuclear weapons plus rockets to deliver them. Let’s face it he could not even Lock Her Up.
    2
  2136. No one can become PM without first being elected as an MP. Ergo he has been elected.
    2
  2137.  @zapfanzapfan  That would be a help. There is also a rumour that the world’s largest battery is being constructed in North East England. There to store off peak energy.
    2
  2138. ⁠ @GHENGHISOTT  The courts don’t have the power to send anyone to prison for not having a TV licence. No prison for non payment of fines. The money is collected via attachments to pay or benefits.
    2
  2139. Nigel Farage keeps taking the Brits as fools. How does he still get away with it ?
    2
  2140. Yep. I keep coming across that. I just mention it may have been a mistake. That has brought the sharp edge of a few tongues.
    2
  2141. Cold air falls so often colder in the glens than the tops.
    2
  2142. It’s on BBC iPlayer. I am pretty sure it on its tenth season. I really like it. This and Ludwig appeal to me but apparently aren’t to everyone’s taste.
    2
  2143. I will if appears sensible. It did at some points during Covid.
    2
  2144.  @robertsteele474  When friends and relatives were dying. It didn’t bother me too much. Possibly because as a child I spent almost a year in isolation after picking up a type of TB from drinking raw milk.
    2
  2145.  @muhammadammarhaziq2998 Still apparently did not have enough to keep him in custody.
    2
  2146. I can tell you from experience the police are not that good at catching speeders. One of of a jobs I had was road testing high performance vehicles. If a customer said there is a hesitation at over 120mph on the Autobahn. They expected the garage to have road tested at speed before handing it back saying it’s fixed. Cameras are the things that catch the majority speeders.
    2
  2147. Nothing. It still is. School shooters aren’t seen as a fact of life like they are in the U.S.
    2
  2148. I thought we all knew that. Don’t need anyone to point it out.
    2
  2149. Why is anyone surprised. Resorting to the gun appears to be the American way of resolving disputes.
    2
  2150.  @ronin7531  Hope you are enjoying being that way.
    2
  2151. It’s Received Pronunciation. I have a feeling English isn’t your first language.
    2
  2152. Why ? They both earn money from it.
    2
  2153.  @goodday512 Glad you reminded me of that.
    2
  2154.  @OldScientist  No you can’t believe that.
    2
  2155. I don’t see the USA sending troops. So who are you talking about ?
    2
  2156.  @PD-ek3cu  My wife & I are pensioners. We know that once those bus doors are shut & the bus has moved. The driver is normally not allowed to stop without breaking company rules. The buses own CCTV system will confirm if they have been broken.
    2
  2157. Still people don’t believe we are doing things that affect the weather.
    2
  2158. He has been fined.
    2
  2159.  @polla2256  Right from my first day of driving I was taught run into the back of the guy in front & it’s your fault. Plus missing a speed limit sign can imply driving without due care.
    2
  2160.  @polla2256 Data from Scotland were they have had them for decades called for the change.
    2
  2161.  @BurtReynoldstash  This line about Wales being all 20 mph zone is tosh. I drove from England to the Royal Mint Experience in Llantrisant. In the New Year. Didn’t see a single 20mph limit. This included calling at Newport Rail station.
    2
  2162. Canada will never be the 51st state.
    2
  2163. Incorrect. NATO is not fighting in Ukraine.
    2
  2164. With your opinion of,the BBC I can’t see why you would want them to report there.
    2
  2165.  @MarioGoatse A criminal record. They may have difficulty obtaining insurance or employment. Even getting a mobile phone contract could be a problem.
    2
  2166. But money does not move from yours to Tesco’s account. It’s just a check to see if you have funds to cover a potential purchase.
    2
  2167. What loss has the BBC taken ? I haven’t noticed anything.
    2
  2168. In someways it’s a pity the U.K. left the E.U. As soon as they left the E.U. They could no longer just send people back to France. Without that possibility more people were bound to cross. One good thing, Brexit took Nigel Farage out of the European Parliament.
    2
  2169. Yes. At least in the UK you can.
    2
  2170. No it’s not. President Trump says it’s a scam by the Biden administration. Wind turbines kill birds by the millions & cause cancer. He has said there will be no more. That a huge Alaskan oil field will be opened up. The phasing out of ICE will be stoped. It will be full speed ahead on fossil fuels.
    2
  2171.  @Lin-d4e5o Why shame on the BBC ? They are one of my go to channels. I can’t see anything they need to be ashamed about.
    2
  2172. @Orcbotbasher As the woman with the wooden leg says. That is a matter of a pinion.
    2
  2173. So what does that prove ?
    2
  2174. If I were Trump lawyer I would be rattled.
    2
  2175. Yep. Moral decay LB knows all about it.
    2
  2176. I also believe that on balance nuclear power is a good thing.
    2
  2177.  @frontenac5083  I don’t hold any drug company. Shares. I am surprised how ill informed a lot of people are. Also so little critical thinking.
    2
  2178. No. The Bullrings have been either demolished or repurposed. Plus the did not set fire to them in the first place.
    2
  2179.  @justinwells447  Somebody coming across the channel & claiming asylum is preferably legal. Some body entering your home & expecting you to give them board & lodging is not something they have a legal right to. You suggest they are the same which is a silly.
    2
  2180. The BBC is U.K. based. Their headquarters are there.
    2
  2181. I married at 17 my wife at 16. Perfectly legal at the time. We were old enough to be working & paying taxes so old enough to marry.
    2
  2182. No.
    2
  2183. The BBC does not prosecute anyone.
    2
  2184.  @ditch3827  The BBC doesn’t prosecute people anymore the the BBC collects the licence fee. Which goes to the Government.
    2
  2185. He was not a Democrat. He had made it very clear that he is a Republican.
    2
  2186.  @susie5668  You are correct. If you don’t do anything that needs a TV licence why have one. It’s down to you. Can’t see what the fuss is about.
    2
  2187.  @paulpaul9914  So what’s your problem ?
    2
  2188.  @paulpaul9914  I believe that in this day and age having a National Broadcaster is more important than ever. How are you going to claim Global Britain without one. Very little else going for you.
    2
  2189.  @paulpaul9914  As the man with the wooden leg said. It’s a matter of a pinion.
    2
  2190. Where do you suggest installing that fence. Left the EU and now Global Britain. Once the asylum seekers reach British waters they are for the British to process.
    2
  2191. Free Mars Bars.
    2
  2192. Why do the truckers think people will live in fear of them. In the end they are being given enough rope to hang themselves.
    2
  2193.  @grahamgibson3737  No but I am sure there are a lot like me who get a laugh at them behaving like headless chickens. I am pretty sure there will be some in Russia who also enjoy western democracies pulling themselves apart.
    2
  2194. A joke needs to be at least amusing. It wasn’t.
    2
  2195. Sorry I don’t understand your question.
    2
  2196.  @douglascrockatt3101  So what ?
    2
  2197. What does ?
    2
  2198. Details please.
    2
  2199. Correct the comments are bit like that.
    2
  2200. That’s a different. Can’t get all the news coverage in less than eight minutes.
    2
  2201. Seem to be plenty of chargers around Birmingham U.K. More being installed all the time. Also on the motorway services. A dozen gone in at the eastbound M2 services. Don’t use the westbound services. But would be surprised if they didn’t also have a dozen new ones there as well.
    2
  2202.  @scaryfakevirus  A lot of the world is affected by EU regs. EU regulations have standardised charging connections for phones, tablets, laptops etc. About a year or so back Apple & others said no way. They have now fallen in line. The EU are apparently mandating the that mobile phones, tablets & laptops must have user replaceable batteries. Looks like the world is going to follow. You may have noticed EU vehicle Euro emissions ratings are used over large parts of the world. So yes you are still greatly influenced by EU decisions. Why on earth did the U.K. leave the EU. If you had stayed you may not have even more sewage in the rivers. Also in the EU there was something called the Dublin something or other. Many people arriving by small boats could be returned to the EU. The U.K. voted to leave that arrangement.
    2
  2203.  @maverick7291  Why would they have pagers.
    2
  2204.  @99Plastics That’s just a nasty comment.
    2
  2205.  @edisonhhhs British politeness.
    2
  2206. Which islands exactly ? Aren’t they all made up of private land.
    2
  2207. Not going to hold my breath waiting for you to leave.
    2
  2208. What a load of tosh.
    2
  2209. Not sure Russia thinks him funny. See him as a threat.
    2
  2210. Didn’t this happen in Europe some years ago. How long before they could reopen the tunnel ?
    2
  2211.  @brooklynbandit9222  aWOKEn coined in the early 1940s to specifically to identify people & organisations who have aWOKEn to racial & social inequality. I am disappointed that anyone could think it wrong.
    2
  2212.  @justakitty6372  Sorry to say that some use it to sneer at others.
    2
  2213. Segregation is possibly one of the last things that people who have aWOKEn want.
    2
  2214.  @CUBuffnSD  In your dreams sunshine.
    2
  2215. The Conservatives not Labour sold off the water companies. Labour would like to renationalise. Unfortunately they may have difficulty finding the money to do that.
    2
  2216. Ukraine was firmly neutral until Russia invaded.
    2
  2217. aWOKEn to the world’s ills and wishing to combat them is aspirational.
    2
  2218. I don’t believe they have that much power.
    2
  2219.  @TI_Ted  I don’t pity anyone with a job.
    2
  2220. West Midlands Police have reportedly confiscated hundreds. There have been pieces on TV News showing confiscated scooters being cut up.
    2
  2221.  @jimtaylor294  Reports on BBC Midlands Today. May be available on BBC iPlayer. I see plenty being ridden illegally. So many things the police can’t do because they lack resources. They need extra funds to even try to cope with new laws that just keep coming.
    2
  2222.  @jimtaylor294  Serco, Group4, Mite etc. is an area where I can not comment.
    2
  2223. Terrible place Wales. They take every opportunity to sing.
    2
  2224.  @pauldurkee4764  They apparently tended to build where it best suited their needs.
    2
  2225.  @djstuc  You could well be correct.
    2
  2226. They didn’t want to be hidden as made clear in the piece.
    2
  2227.  @kalam4411  I would leave the decision to the victim. What do you think gives you the right to override their decision ?
    2
  2228. I have just look on the U.K. Government website. It says that from 2025 vehicle excise duty will increase in line with the retail price index. Looks like it will take a while to double.
    2
  2229. That approach gives me confidence that emotions aren’t going to get in the way.
    2
  2230. @ European consumers don’t want hormone in injected beef. Bit surprising that US consumers will tolerate it.
    2
  2231. @The US population will pay the tariffs. The countries exporting don’t pay a cent. The tariffs are paid by whoever imports the goods.
    2
  2232.  @Towerwatson525  As the woman with the wooden leg said. That’s a matter of a pinion.
    2
  2233. Those times in the past. How many would not have supported modern agriculture. Providing food for eight billion people.
    2
  2234. It’s called balance.
    2
  2235. An eBike will be much cheaper to run than any car.
    2
  2236.  @melvinplant8637  I remember the three wheel Reliant. A chap in the village had one. Repaired it on a few occasions. Dreadful to work on. The worst bit is the steering/front suspension. Came as a relief when someone set fire to it. A distant relative’s four wheel Kitten was a little better.
    2
  2237.  @ahealthierkirk2558  My comment still stands.
    2
  2238. Again. Please elaborate.
    2
  2239.  @Slumbert Prove that isn’t happening in your imagination.
    2
  2240. This event happens once every 14 years so defo can’t be the same every year.
    2
  2241. You really are out of touch.
    2
  2242. The perp was apparently a Jew.
    2
  2243. Isn’t that how most people hold their phones during private conversations ?
    2
  2244.  @andrewordog4397  Close the border? That would be silly.
    2
  2245. Are you saying that Russia and the U.S. are working on extending the invasion ?
    2
  2246.  @RB-ru8mv Trump fight. Bet he would hand over Alaska to Putin to avoid a fight.
    2
  2247. What can Trump do that hasn’t already been done.
    2
  2248. He won a democratic election. Like you or I he can’t make anyone fight.
    2
  2249. @Dhdh It could be over in a flash. Nuclear Winter should cure Earth’s overpopulation problem.
    2
  2250. Plenty in its time and place. The news cycle has moved on. Very few are even bothered.
    2
  2251. Have we just seen the just a spot of racial profiling ? So much assumption about the white woman.
    2
  2252. Why ?
    2
  2253. Some have asked who buys second hand EV batteries. Solar farms do. They use them for load balancing.
    2
  2254.  @sweetrensarmientorenee  I know most of that from people I know I the legal profession. Am I correct in thinking that you are not happy with it. Let’s hear how you would run things.
    2
  2255. We have a large chest clearly marked Deliveries. Only once had an Amazon delivery dropped off next door. Unfortunately they have electric gates & the package was left on the grass outside. The neighbour dropped it round the following day. But in the meantime Amazon said. Package handed to resident.
    2
  2256.  @tackcolin6645  Wrong. The world sees that he has Republicans on the run. It appears Tump & co have underestimated Dark Brandon.
    2
  2257. P&O are apparently running two EV ferries between Calais & Dover. I have not heard of any problems. Yes they do have ICE backup but with only one engine. If they are totally ICE they need two engines.
    2
  2258. Anyone who has awful opinions possibly keep them private. Or is it better if I know so I can avoid them.
    2
  2259. Are you really sure you were done over by Amazon itself. Or someone posing as Amazon ?
    2
  2260. The BBC is doing its job and reporting.
    2
  2261.  @jonnsonsam The BBC aim to give both sides coverage.
    2
  2262. It would cost a fortune to even begin to replace all the speed cameras with Police on the M1 & M6. alone. When it comes to catching speeders the cameras have on big advantage. They don’t have to move around looking for speeders.
    2
  2263.  @rantingoldgit5125  In the U.K. the Civil Service is is defo not part of the Government. They work for the people as civil servants. Civil Service personnel don’t change on mass when a new government comes in. As far as stories have to be approved before transmission. How long would any story take to be vetted by the Civil Service ?
    2
  2264.  @dtex_zero Yes I have been around vegans. I have a vegetarian daughter but I haven’t had it pushed on me. Sorry to hear you haven’t had the same experience.
    2
  2265.  @dtex_zero  I don’t get grief when out for a meal with my vegi daughter. I quite like some vegi food & choose it over a meat dish . Some areas in Italy the menu is mostly vegetarian. Not that it needs to be flagged as vegetarian. It just is.
    2
  2266. Don’t forget to stay alert. Your country needs lerts.
    2
  2267.  @valeriegrimshaw1365 Divorce often ends with two loosing out.
    2
  2268.  @pauldionne2884 About the size of Wales if that’s a help.
    2
  2269. OK folks. Do I see private equity waiting to buy up farms ?
    2
  2270.  @BondJFK Who wants oil these days. It’s like coal so last century.
    2
  2271. Thy are British not African.
    2
  2272.  @iberian5319  What about manufacturing industries. In 1959 the BTH Rugby had over 6000 employees. They made steam turbines, generators, power transformers, control gear etc for power stations. By 1969 all those jobs had gone. Nothing to do Thatcher. The market changed & they did not keep up. The British electorate put Thatcher into power. Did it more than once. So anything she did is ultimately down to the electorate.
    2
  2273. Jesus said don’t hide your light.
    2
  2274. How long before Donald Trump’s Administration scraps the refund.
    2
  2275. Jo Brand is self employed & does not work for the BBC So they are not in a position to discipline her. She will have broken BBC guidelines. Meaning it’s very unlikely they will book her again before she has issued an apology.
    2
  2276. @ Yep.
    2
  2277. @ Looks like it could become interesting.
    2
  2278. Does the EU along with the rest of the world need to US anymore ?
    2
  2279.  @mdumisenihlophe4001  You come across like one of our Donald’s beloved undereducated.
    2
  2280. @ Donald Trump is a very strong and stable genius. Must be true because he keeps telling us.
    2
  2281. Only your insurance company & your contract with them can answer if there could be a payout. Looks like the 1970s had one advantage. cctv only existed for the military, large corporations. Not sure if cctv makes people feel any safer. Been abroad with groups of people. Some apparently feel as though they need to keep checking their phones to see what is happening at home.
    2
  2282.  @edmundprice5276 Yep. There is a substation near me. It covers a quarter of an acre.
    2
  2283.  @soundseeker63 Not what the U.K. Energy Minister said on a TV interview.
    2
  2284. @ On street parking enforcement is one of the jobs that by law has to go out to tender. Very few Councils if any actually do the job. If anyone is lax about parking round Mosques it’s unlikely to be the Council. If there is a problem ask the Council who is responsible for enforcement. Then contact that firm with geotagged photos showing the vehicles involved. It may also be worth sending copies of the photos to the ward Councillor.
    2
  2285.  @damienmitchell1637  Looks like Baltimore’s port will be closed until the wreckage is cleared. One of the largest ports on the Eastern Seaboard. Pretty sure you’re correct in thinking it could affect world trade.
    2
  2286. Isn’t London, England the best city in the world ? Or perhaps it’s LA.
    2
  2287. Looked like humans. They were wearing hats so could possibly have been Klingons.
    2
  2288. The did not report it as gospel. They clearly said there is a lot of uncertainty.
    2
  2289.  @mtl-ss1538  An expensive move.
    2
  2290.  @Pantifaximile  The bank has not given a reason. Would it be right to publish ‘any’ of their former customers details ?
    2
  2291.  @bobbobbing12  Speculation on your part. But I have a question. Can your bank publish your personal banking details without your consent ?
    2
  2292. Overall nuclear power appears less dangerous than burning fossil fuels.😊
    2
  2293.  @TonyG-z4t  Yep.
    2
  2294. @ Everything on this earth has potential danger. Get over it.
    2
  2295. @ As far as I am concerned the UK is not broken. Not perfect but neither am I.
    2
  2296.  @RickyisSwan  That worked for me.
    2
  2297. The Donald said he would not allow Little Rocket Man to develop nuclear weapons. He got them before Donald left office.
    2
  2298. They don’t need to vote her out. Her term is almost up.
    2
  2299.  @harrybriscoe7948  No it’s not funny. A cellphone is no use against someone with a gun. In this day & age not having a handy gun could appear short sighted.
    2
  2300. Boris Johnson appeared to say vote leave & the health service will have money coming out of its ears. Where has all that money gone ?
    2
  2301.  @peterw4338  I have been stoped five times since 1960. Twice for speeding. Once for 30 in a thirty limit. But it was 3am & even I would find that suspicious. Again at 2.30am when they stopped everyone after an aggravated burglary in the area. The last time early in the morning during a long journey with a failed taillight bulb. They checked that I could change a bulb. Followed me about half a mile to an all night garage. I passed the parked police car about half a mile after leaving the garage. I had replaced the bulb so no pursuit. Have you any idea why you attract so much attention ? May it have something to do with your attitude.
    2
  2302.  @HooDie-Trench-GoTh2022  What do these facey things mean.
    2
  2303. Isn’t that preferable to letting people up the beaches or drowning ?
    2
  2304.  @Username_120  I believe that it is not. Much suppimentry evidence to back it up.
    2
  2305.  @Username_120  Don’t believe you. Too much evidence that it’s not staged.
    2
  2306.  @solarfox3003  I have watched the Russian ambassador to NATO press conference. I formed the impression that at the time he spoke it had not been refused. It had been put back a couple of days. Could be that I miss understood because he seemed to be rambling on for half an hour. I suppose if could has been given that impression due to his poor english. But in all fairness his English is far better than my Russian.
    2
  2307. The BBC is an international news organisation. How could they said to ‘know’ anything ?
    2
  2308. Is anyone else becoming fed up of hearing about former President Donald Trump ?
    2
  2309. The fact that hospitals are seen by many as doing anything to make a profit help Tucker put this message across.
    2
  2310. Can’t walk on by with a clear conscience.
    2
  2311.  @RemoteCamper Two confirmed convictions so far.
    2
  2312.  @cencalkennels7102  I don't agree.
    2
  2313. Not strange if there is a photo.
    2
  2314.  @bubbajohn8131 I am a pensioner. Fairly happy so far. If money is tight best it go to those who need it most. Can’t say I have noticed my family being upset.
    2
  2315. I think she is very attractive.
    2
  2316. No problem. JD Vance will be ready to take over.
    2
  2317.  @Trebor74  So if it breaks, fix it.
    2
  2318. The BBC doesn’t have shareholders.
    2
  2319. Where is your evidence ?
    2
  2320.  @Dan-ze4qz At just under £30 a month to cover clothing over the counter medicine etc. Hardly brings the high life.
    2
  2321.  @curiositycloset2359  You didn’t have many more until the U.K. lost the right to send some back. Once the chance of being sent back disappeared the numbers increased. More or less trebled in the first year. One major winner is your Nigel. For him the boats are the gift that keeps on giving.
    2
  2322. I just don’t like the girl. She comes across like a spoilt kid. At one stage we saw video of her saying that people of my age had asked her to do something on our behalf. I found this annoying. I have not asked her to do anything.
    2
  2323. Not sure the country can renationalise without paying off the companies debts.
    2
  2324.  @cupguin Looks like you have summed up the situation very nicely.
    2
  2325.  @judithmackay7158  You could send some back. Is a quota better than an unlimited flow ?
    2
  2326. The British pensioners who need the money are getting it. Those aren’t are the ones who used it to pay for a good night out.
    2
  2327.  @bishop1  He has allegedly broken quite a few. But is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
    2
  2328.  @octavianpopescu4776  Both sides sometimes appear to go over the top. Not helped by people not knowing what aWOKEn stands for. But even Congress members don't always know what they are saying. In the last week or so. No names no pack drill but her initials are LB. Stood at a lecture & read from The Bible. Part of the passage talked about people committing wontan murder. She admitted she did not understand the term & said she would need to look it up. Wontan means :- deliberate, willful, malicious, malevolent, spiteful, vicious, wicked, evil, cruel; unprovoked, unmotivated, motiveless, arbitrary, groundless, unjustifiable, unjustified, needless, unnecessary, uncalled for, gratuitous, senseless, pointless, purposeless, aimless, useless, meaningless, empty, vacuous. I think the term wontan murder is fairly easy to understand.
    2
  2329. It just doesn’t.
    2
  2330. I do not agree. She is a regular news reader. Been sat in front of a camera with sod all to go on.
    2
  2331. Is that Boris the Spider as referred to by The Who.
    2
  2332. Really, really don’t like this style of delivery. Too much in my face.
    2
  2333.  @jimhoctor2382  Dark Brandon is more switched on than you appear to think.
    2
  2334.  @gavinlevy1693 Why. It’s a national treasure.
    2
  2335.  @jamisojo  Even more of a disaster if things has been left to run as some people pushed for. I count myself lucky that I only lost one close relative before the vaccines came along. Unless they have a valid medical everyone should do there bit for humanity. But then I remember many people would see that as socialism & would somehow rob them of their freedom.
    2
  2336.  @brianpeterson1675  A few hours ago I watched a live feed of half a dozen truckers doing their piece to camera. Men of a certain age. Perhaps thinking they would like to be Deadpool. All a bit sad really. I have a feeling they know that In ten years time if they are remembered it they will be just as a small footnote in history.
    2
  2337.  @DR07921  It’s normal that there are problems with all vaccines. It’s the balance of risk against benefits that counts. I am happy going with these vaccine. Before the vaccines. Four dead & two in ICU in my friends & close relatives. As far as I know myself and all those around me are now fully vaccinated. Not one of us has even been in hospital since. As far as we are concerned the vaccines have been the way to go. Vaccines have one extra benefit. International travel is opening up,again. Germany in August.
    2
  2338. What gave you the idea it wasn’t a bad thing ?
    2
  2339.  @jeremysmith54565  I don’t share your opinion.
    2
  2340. I don’t agree. Putting out fake news would get OFCOM on their backs.
    2
  2341. Didn’t she say that people had signed up for the scheme. Why is she complaining about people doing that. It’s the own decision.
    2
  2342. Because women & children get abused by the smugglers. Men can be told you may have problems moving through the system. But you wife being good to us may help. This can happen multiple times. Children can also be taken aside for ‘a special treat’.
    2
  2343.  @cesium7907  May I take it you have first hand experience inc interviewing travellers. Plus if your first or second language is English & have relatives living in the U.K. where would you head for.
    2
  2344.  @DarrenHarrison7160  OK. Take care.
    2
  2345. He cuddles & not stands up to strong men. He shouts his mouth off like just one more loser kid in the school yard.
    2
  2346. Good to see you enthusiastic about the BBC’s output.
    2
  2347.  @danidelaney3555  aWOKEn used since the early 1940s when it was coined in the USA to describe someone who has aWOKEn to the evils of social & racial discrimination. By using as an insult people either don’t understand the definition or are possibly just being nasty.
    2
  2348.  @TEMPLAR969 JSO’s ‘Flash Mob’ tactics means they are there just long enough to shoot some video. Away before the police have time to respond. So no large build up of traffic.
    2
  2349.  @briancarno8837 The majority of people who voted in the referendum chose leave.
    2
  2350.  @briancarno8837 The EU does care.
    2
  2351.  @gillian-n2s  How often do you fact check before posting ?
    2
  2352. Of course other channels want to shut down rivals. It’s just business.
    2
  2353.  @grahamstevenson1740  Fusion was ten years away in 1963. So I have a feeling you could be correct.
    2
  2354. She has gone Private. Not on the NHS. You could perhaps claim she has freed up an NHS place.
    2
  2355.  @sarah6557  No we don’t. What is the BBC all about. Please enlighten us. In the meantime I have a feeling their charter says they are for information, education & entertainment.

  2428. Things have changed. I am under one of seven doctors at the health centre. The building is old & has been subdivided leaving many areas without ventilation. If they had kept seeing us face to face as they had been then it could easily have turned from a health centre into an infection centre. Making things worse. I have some idea how Covid-19 can be. I have lost a sister in law and a long time friend. Another friend has lost his brother in law & one of the fishing club. I would prefer it if I could continue regularly seeing my doctor face to face. But for the greater good do not want the risk of taking Covid into the health centre. We already fine people for driving without a seatbelt. I wonder about a fine for people who won't get vaccinated.( Medical exemptions are available for seatbelt use.

  2509.  @BellaBoz  But the electorate indirectly voted for an increase in boat traffic. While the U.K. was in the E.U people could be set back to mainland Europe under the Dublin agreement. That ended when the U.K regained it freedom. Do you think knowing they could no longer be sent back would perhaps even encourage people to cross. All part of the win some loose some aspects of Brexit.
    2
  2510.  @BellaBoz  I agree it’s a difficult situation. The U.K. is Global Britain & under international law the boats can’t be touched by the U.K. while they are in international waters. But once in U.K. waters you are a bit stuck with them. One question I don’t hear. The leave people gave the impression. Vote leave & the NHS will have money coming out of it’s ears. Where has that money gone ?

    2
  2523.  @fanfeck2844  They are being ‘detained’ which will stop them disappearing up beaches. They are delivered to the authorities for fingerprinting etc. The UK wanted sole control of their boundaries. They now have legal control but don’t have the capacity to deal with it. It’s just another instance of not believing what was likely to happen once none could be sent back. Another Brexit benefit that benefits the EU. You may find the hotels are cheaper than building & running prisons.

That’s no long necessary because ANPR will spot vehicles without paid up VED. Your ISP logs everything that is connected. A quick twitch of the law & they won’t need to ask if you are doing anything that needs a license. I can’t see why there is this option. Just take funding for the National Broadcaster out of tax.

  2555.  @curiositycloset2359  My great grandchildren & those around them aren’t dropping like flies. Dropping like flies happened in my young days.
    2
  2556.  @saschaesken5524  I agree with you.
    2
  2557. If the cap fits wear it. If it does not say so. Throwing teddy out of the pram takes us nowhere.
    2
  2558.  @patrickdowney2523  What it says is perfectly clear. The fact that you or I may not like what it says does not change it.
    2
  2559.  @patrickdowney2523  Someone who turns to insults proves they have lost argument & shows that they have conceded the point.
    2
  2560.  @patrickdowney2523  I suggested that what appeared to be a young woman just out having a good time may be effectively turned into a call girl. We are talking about something that allegedly happened in the U.K. The age of consent in the U.K. is 16. A seventeen year old is perfectly free to have inter sex relationships with more or less anyone also 16 or over. If it’s OK for males to do it it’s also OK for females. Any male who says otherwise is guilty of male bias.

  2561.  @katiesioux7757 Same goes for many coal mines. Leaving pollution & people with black lung unsupported.

  2562. That isn’t going to help those who can’t afford air conditioning.
    2
  2563.  @richardcoats6430  Unless someone coming over in a dingy etc can avoid being picked up. Disappearing up a beach the the border is far from wide open. If you don’t believe me trying visiting a reception centre.
    2
  2564. @CtrlALlTerrorS Are you suggesting people who started paying tax and National Insurance perhaps at the age of fifteen are not entitled to the pension they paid into for half a century ?
    2
  2565. @CtrlALlTerrorS Yes I do keep a eye on what is happening. One thing I see is some entitled people thinking they can just disrupt other people’s lives & there be no comeback. I don’t remember people in the 70s causing all the current problems. We had high inflation & at one stage our mortgage went up to 17%. We concentrated on get ourselves sorted out. Did not have time for all the current wingers.
    2
  2566. @CtrlALlTerrorS I remember the 70s. Three day week. Mortgage rate up to 17%. Militant unions too big for their boots. Rolling power cuts. High inflation. No chance of becoming bored. I have a feeling that any twerps blocking roads etc would have been dealt with PDQ. Would not have waited for the police to arrive. The police need to give people enough rope to prove that they are intent on causing disruption. Otherwise in court they can claim we only intended to sit for five minutes to make a point. Very difficult to prove otherwise. Laws needed to combat that defence.

  2567. Our small loca pharmacy is open about struggling to cope before this announcement. He may retire.

  2568.  @mrflick7645  Please explain word measuring.
    2
  2569.  @MrJeffcoley1  It’s mostly the ten dollars per person that funds the enterprise. It’s a huge project & the residual after running the museum isn’t going to see it finished quickly.
    2
  2570.  @PAD058 Sorry to appear ageist. But isn’t she a bit old for that ?
    2
  2571.  @anonnona8099  With a fishing permit or license people are asked to produce.
    2
  2572.  @anonnona8099  Nobody is a victim. Watching live TV, recording live TV & BBC iPlayer is a choice. Just like driving a car etc.
    2
  2573.  @HammerThumbs  Started in the early 19 hundreds as the radio licence. At a time before TV had been invented. TV adding years later. Not at all sure where the aerial, Radio or TV comes in. P. S. A transmission licence is a totally different thing.
    2
  2574. @ I used to support Israel right back to before the war in about 1968. Sorry to say their actions in the last few years has lost them that support.
    2
  2575.  @poethefallen1333 They will be able to do that. Musk has said he sees deleting even misinformation as censorship.
    2
  2576. I fundamentally disagree. We need more organisations like the BBC.
    2
  2577.  @brennadickinson2920 Pretty sure there are too many regulations surrounding the carriage & sale of fresh food to make that economically viable. Think that’s why mobile veg & butchers vans disappeared.
    2
  2578. That is no longer true. Quite a few 50 limits out of town. Also many temporary 50 limits during TT fortnight.
    2
  2579. What has Donald Trump got to do with Musk in China ?
    2
  2580. If carried out these days because of the civilian casualties it would apparently be classified as a war crime. From things I saw & heard on the BBC I think they treated it quite gently.
    2
  2581. Clickbait here. Just can’t see there is anything here to make a fuss about.
    2
  2582. Where ?
    2
  2583.  @KM-pq7sr  The last referendum had an unfortunate consequence. A vast increase in the arrival of boat people.
    2
  2584.  @РоманМоре  Is it Haggis ?
    2
  2585. I remember this from the time we had to leave parking lights on at night. We were allowed to fit supplementary a light that you put on the car at night. These were normally magnetic or hooked over the top of the driver’s drop glass. Then dropped the need for parking lights to be left on in a thirty limit but the car has to be parked as you say. I seem to remember it being heavily policed after the law changed. With modern motorcycles there is a problem stopping in a lay-by out side the 30 limit. They don’t normally have a way to switch on parking lights. The head lights come on with the ignition switch. This means you can’t park with just parking lights. I have a feeling that it could be illegal to park with headlights on. I have tackled Honda about this. They say their bikes comply with the construction & use legislation.
    2
  2586. Well said President Biden.
    2
  2587.  @tnetroP  The stores & their staff don’t like it anymore than you do. But it is perfectly legal to check that all goods leaving the store have been paid for. All customers are not perfect & on occasion miss scanning an item or two. Easily sorted. The customer pays for the items that have not been paid for & they are on their way. Failing that they can leave those items behind. To sum up can’t see what the fuss is about.
    2
  2588.  @neilrobinson5115  Who is this this Peoples Friend.
    2
  2589.  @muckle8  This a diesel powered vehicle. They don’t make that model as an EV.
    2
  2590. No it does not. The wind starts them turning. No other input required. Windmills have worked that way for centuries.
    2
  2591.  @MyName-cw4yr  How can up claim an efficiency when there is no power going in. It’s all out.
    2
  2592.  @MyName-cw4yr  If your not putting electricity in. Only getting it out where is anyone going to get a figure of 30% efficiency from. Remember not putting power in only getting it out.
    2
  2593. There will some in reserve..
    2
  2594.  @eyesodd  No wars ? Plus. What has he threatened to do to Iran. Could he be the one to start WW3 ?
    2
  2595.  @javiermonforte8264 Ukraine is not and has never been part of NATO.
    2
  2596.  @BrokenBackMountains  See TG’s previous reply in this thread ref. Spain, France & Scotland’s dept. The north European countries apparently don’t sound keen either. Scotland with only about six million inhabitants & border complications won’t help. Scotland would need a customs border with England. I have a strong feeling Scotland would be on its own. Fine if people vote for it. But, Brexit did people get what they thought they had voted for.
    2
  2597.  @quercus3290  Shady ? Do you really think that anyone in England even considered Scotland when voting leave. The don't appear to have considered Norther Ireland & the problems there. I don't think they even thought about anything other than listening to the ERG, Nigel Farege etc. who told them. Vote leave & awake to a golden dawn.
    2
  2598. Beg pardon.
    2
  2599. I have not had much to do with the police for a while. But years ago my job brought me into contact with them on a regular basis. I found them easy to deal with.
    2
  2600. Counties have tried cloud seeding for decades. The results appear highly random. But desperate people will often try snake oil.
    2
  2601. The way Just Stop Oil are going about Not winning friends & influencing people. Upsetting people the way they do could be working in the oil companies interest.
    2
  2602. @ I agree with your assessment.
    2
  2603. Much more trustworthy than social media has become.
    2
  2604.  @dannyjonze  Sorry to say you are incorrect.
    2
  2605.  @ty194  They are in the process of building huge solar & wind farms. Expanded Nuclear will also be playing a part.
    2
  2606. @ True or not China is going for it.
    2
  2607.  @JohnofthefamilySmith That isn’t being asked of anyone.
    2
  2608.  @targgthewise2892 I don’t think Trump is a position to shout. He is beginning to look like a U.K. Prime Minister who said “Peace in our time” Turned out well didn’t it.
    2
  2609. @ And your proof is ? Because all you have given me appears to be a random name. Possibly plucked out of the ether.
    2
  2610. I agree the Democrats should get full support.
    2
  2611. Former President Trump promised to build a wall. Could not even complete it on land.
    2
  2612.  @IAmWithinEverything I don’t care either.
    2
  2613. I wonder if I start saying the sun isn’t that hot. Will I make money from clicks ?
    2
  2614. I have contract worked in a BBC training facility. Nobody I spoke to would agree with your statement.
    2
  2615. Did I see a burnt out shaking of ass Renault Megan. ?
    2
  2616.  @caterthun4853  I voted stay but found myself up against other who said. I don’t care what it costs I am voting leave to get the U.K. sovereignty back. A democratic election, their side came out on top.
    2
  2617.  @arthurpewtey  The US has a presidential election every four years. Unfortunately we don’t get an another in or out of the EU vote until who knows when. I could see trouble ahead and voted stay. But now I have come to the conclusion that it’s no good taking up time moaning. Perhaps we best follow the lead of business & aim to turn a problem into a positive.
    2
  2618. ⁠ @D1331D What are you talking about. What can happen to anyone. If you mean a business can decide not to serve you are correct. The law protects companies from people they don’t want to deal with.
    2
  2619. No it’s not. We are now Global Britain & prows of it. I seem to remember it’s the reason we voted leave.
    2
  2620.  @SmallWonda A friend doesn’t have a problem. Solar panels plus a Powerwall works very well with his Tesla & MG4. He even occasionally tows with the Tesla.
    2
  2621. Reports of the same symptoms have been going round for decades. Long before Covid 19.
    2
  2622. What make makes you claim that. Could just be a kidnap for ransom gang.
    2
  2623.  @SteerCarmer  In what way have they been a disaster ?
    2
  2624. He has been fined.
    2
  2625.  @arthurmackrell8154  What about boys putting themselves out there to feed a drug habit. OnlyFans. Do they have anything to answer for ?
    2
  2626. Voter ID is the very least any county should have.
    2
  2627.  @pipins3616  Remoaner. Do you count the people of Scotland, Northern Ireland & Wales who voted remain ?
    2
  2628. Aren’t Reform the same group of people who sold us Brexit ?
    2
  2629.  @luciusdomitiusaurelianus1024  It’s all more clicks, comments & money for the BBC.
    2
  2630.  @cedhome7945 I know a Warwickshire farmer who also grazes sheep under a solar farm.

  2631. One good thing about bone spurs man. He is falling apart at the seams.
    2
  2632. There used to be a torpedo research facility on Portland.
    2
  2633. I have seen many videos peddling their own agenda while not being too bothered about the truth. But I am intrigued & would like to watch the ‘better’ video. Please point me at it.
    2
  2634.  @AlwysBclosing Biden hasn’t cut tug boat funding.
    2
  2635.  @hueylongadmirer1829 Trump not a crook. You are having a laugh my son.
    2
  2636.  @Neutralino Yes. Sorry you missed it.
    2
  2637. @ Italy & Switzerland have adjusted their border to take into account that glaciers are retreating. But worse still the seasons are becoming erratic. Affecting food production. We have a snow in October. We don’t normally get snow until after Xmas.
    2
  2638. I even use a card to buy drinks theses days. Saves messing around with change.
    2
  2639. The BBC is international gets content worldwide.
    2
  2640. HS2 is being conducted within a mile of me. From what I can see from drone footage that are doing a lot of good work. They have preserved over a mile of ancient woodland by boring tom tunnels under it.
    2
  2641. Do these people know Putin has signed a declaration live on TV. It states the sale of Alaska was illegal. He has promised to return Alaska to Russian control.
    2
  2642.  @SweetSassyBull  I am perfectly happy with live TV. I believe the licence to be cracking value. Plus no one in the UK is forced to do anything that needs one. Unlike other parts of the world that have a premium added to phone and broadband bills.
    2
  2643. While still in the EU you could send people back. The U.K. voted to end that agreement.
    2
  2644. He is on video saying he doesn’t have one.
    2
  2645.  @lyndareynolds850 Pretty sure you are correct.
    2
  2646. The U.K. doesn’t have an open border policy. Which is very clear to anyone who travels in and out.
    2
  2647.  @oojimmyflip The RNLI are funded by people like me who donate to the charity.
    2
  2648. Plenty seem to have been talking about it. Sorry you have missed it.
    2
  2649.  @neilwheel  NATO has not sent troops to Ukraine.
    2
  2650.  @neilwheel  They were not combat troops.
    2
  2651. You will be back to the BBC.
    2
  2652. Can self driving vehicles coexist with motorcycles ?
    2
  2653. Have any Trump NFL Trading Cards gone up in value ?
    2
  2654.  @TheGreyTest  Sorry you are out of touch. Apparently missing the data.
    2
  2655.  @randyzaucha4049  I can only relate my experience.
    2
  2656. Looks like you haven’t been listening.
    2
  2657.  @baltasarnoreno5973 perhaps not. But hopefully it’s a lesson learned.
    2
  2658.  @vanpallandt5799  1,427 votes is not that massive.
    2
  2659. In situations like this it’s not the BBC,s job to make excuses.
    2
  2660.  @getssmith112  These day there seems to be very little that is not marked. ‘Made in China.’
    2
  2661. It may be worth considering YouTube’s terms & conditions before posting.
    2
  2662. I am surprised to hear that Lawyers take a party stance. After all the law is the law & they should be expected to see it that way.
    2
  2663.  @croissantpower  So what. A few years ago a van was used to kill how many on the Ramblers, Barcelona ?
    2
  2664.  @croissantpower  So what ?
    2
  2665. Shouting it doesn’t make it true.
    2
  2666. The BBC have put out videos showing farmers protesting from more than one location.
    2
  2667. As it should be.
    2
  2668. Saving the planet sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately so many people can’t be bothered or are actively against doing anything about it. I have decided I may as well enjoy the party while it lasts.
    2
  2669. @jamie211983I used to work on the spanners and vehicle recovery. In a fire tyres can blow. Being too near an HGV tyre fire can be fatal.
    2
  2670.  @supernoob2950  That doesn’t work in a family business.
    2
  2671.  @gordo4559 But isn’t US oil the wrong type of oil ?
    2
  2672. I hope her father asked if he can support her in the manner to which she is accustomed.
    2
  2673.  @geemcgraff8281  A father should ask a man who wants to marry his daughter. Can you afford to keep her. Nothing about selling a daughter. It’s looking out for her interests. Sorry if you think that is a bit old fashioned.
    2
  2674. Because they have been designated as a terrorist organisation.
    2
  2675.  @paulosullivan3472  Please tell my how you deal with the route cause. In the meantime at least the little scroat who is caught carrying a weapon can be dealt with. Part of the problem appears to surround that good Thatcherite business drug dealing. Didn’t she espouse. Find a market, supply it, expand it.
    2
  2676. As someone who has had their trolley checked. Random checks seem fine to me. Anything to help cut down on stock shrinkage is OK with me.
    2
  2677. Why and where ?
    2
  2678.  @billythepigeon7345  Citation needed to back up your claim that she was the richest person on Earth.
    2
  2679. Just where would you use a Nuc against a dispersed force.
    2
  2680. You seem to forget Russian attacked Ukraine.
    2
  2681.  @AdLockhorst-bf8pz  I have watched Dr Who from the start. I don’t have a problem with the current incarnation.
    2
  2682.  @itispam  Why grow up ? It’s a reasonable question. Which other children
    2
  2683. It still surprises me to come across people who believed Project Fear but decided to vote leave.
    2
  2684. He wasn’t insulting anyone else’s religion. He is a Muslim..
    2
  2685. Looks like a NATO recruitment video.
    2
  2686. One lot of people saying new rules are too strict. Another that they don’t go far enough. People saying ‘they’ are making travel too expensive. Others saying why aren’t ‘they’ making travel harder.
    2
  2687.  @ajdesmond9545 Possibly a good thing in this case. Overtopped dams sometimes collapse making matters worse.
    2
  2688.  @reaper5454  Same for me. I don’t spend time on entertainment. Especially when it’s dressed up as news. I don’t spend much time on sports either.
    2
  2689. Putin invaded Ukraine in much the same way Hitler invaded Poland. Didn’t Hitler end up dead in a bunker ?
    2
  2690. Why are you giving financial support to the BBC ?
    2
  2691.  @philbo2152  A Stanley knife is a box cutter. Apart from the brand name they are essentially the same thing.
    2
  2692.  @winnie6354  I respectfully suggest that you may benefit from revisiting the BBB Youtube video on the subject. A fixed blade is effectively locked.
    2
  2693. What’s this fuss about UK pensioners ? They have been getting above inflation rises for years and have another on the way.
    2
  2694.  @vickymc9695 She will know she is on camera. It’s sort of like body cams.
    2
  2695.  @John.AR.Activism  I am sure you would not deliberately rack people off. Just that you may be a sociopath.
    2
  2696.  @bravobr9725  When entering a store we accept their terms & conditions. If one is no filming. There is your answer.
    2
  2697. Looks as though October 7th could have been a bad move.
    2
  2698. As you say he is looking after people. Doesn’t matter were they come from.
    2
  2699.  @cornishhh I have a feeling it was both.
    2
  2700.  @lw1zfog  Possibly because someone my age who keeps up with general science tends to be aware of developments.
    2
  2701.  @carlsummers2316  Just a simple question about who counts as an immigrant. People who are in the U.K. as a legacy of Empire are a slightly different matter.
    2
  2702.  @dd-du9bz I have noticed people blaming god. But very rarely which one.
    2
  2703. I have storage heaters on Economy 7. My eclectic supplier has not mentioned a change. Does it mean the heating will be able to warm 24/7 ?
    2
  2704. A wet signature hasn’t been required for some years.
    2
  2705. Who said anything about taking your vote away unless it’s the Republicans.
    2
  2706.  @DavidFraser007  As long as they don’t park themselves on a slope.
    2
  2707. The citizens are fed up with the mess. Citizen power should keep the cleanup on track.
    2
  2708. Anything you or publish could be held to prejudice a police enquiry or subsequent court case. A perps solicitor will likely come up with my client cannot get a fair trial because this that or the other has been published. If the judge or magistrate agrees the case closes. This effectively shuts Gray down to being able to say very little.
    2
  2709. @ Yep. But letting anything become public may have prejudiced the trail. His lawyers are there to get him off. Even if he/she was aware of his guilt.
    2
  2710. Government just isn’t big enough to deal with this. We need government to be vastly expanded.
    2
  2711. It is about time people who are unvaccinated should stopped from working in a job that has the customer facing. Looks like there in not enough control.
    2
  2712.  @bestbehave Hasn’t President said he if afraid that Russia may be. Stopping it one of the reasons for invading Ukraine.
    2
  2713. War is defo not funny.
    2
  2714. Too late.
    2
  2715.  @houstonjoker3836  In Europe because they were in it together all three could be charged. Does away with the ‘Not me, must have been one of the others’ line of defence.
    2
  2716. I feel that CA’s performance is in poor taste. Not the sort of thing I would watch. But CA & MTG are both in the controversy business so I’m not surprised by them.
    2
  2717. Pearl Harbor triggered the way to Hiroshima.
    2
  2718. Why should he be ashamed ?
    2
  2719. I do not agree with your assessment.
    2
  2720. Are Trump’s action risking the world turning away from the U.S. ?
    2
  2721. The name will be released when the alleged perpetrator appears in court.
    2
  2722.  @markymark7803  Sorry but Global Britain now alone in a world of eight billion has a lot more. Coming down the line. Your Empire is starting to haunt you.
    2
  2723.  @katrinaDS  I have been around long enough to have been assured on numerous occasions the world has been about to end. I am not going to hold my breath.
    2
  2724.  @GIBBO4182  I prefer informed.
    2
  2725. @ It’s a long term thing with Elon. He is no better than any other prankster. Looks like Dominic is his latest patsy.
    2
  2726. That is a fib.
    2
  2727. Would some billionaires like to see what they think as the underclass. Being weakened or even lost to bad health ?
    2
  2728. The U.K. is also expanding its hydro pump storage capacity. In simple terms. At times of plentiful energy pump water uphill. When required let it run back down to generate electricity. Works just like an enormous battery.
    2
  2729. 20mph limits have been trialled for decades in Scotland. They have proven a successful there. England & Wales are just catching up.
    2
  2730.  @dungareesareforfools  Can you or I prove it the other way. I think not.
    2
  2731.  @dungareesareforfools  Many Scottish towns with an A road running through them have had 20mph limits for ages. It’s become a fact of life. Nothing to become upset about. We have been told that 20mph limits have reduced accidents & injuries both in the number & severity resulting from accidents. Reports coming from Police, NHS, Ambulance Service & Fire & Rescue I personally believe that they have proven successful. If you can show otherwise I am more than happy to listen.
    2
  2732. The civilian casualties make it look like a war crime.
    2
  2733. I don’t keep getting the police called on me. I have a feeling that goes for most of us. I would like to see the mainstream media involved so we can find out why the police keep being called.
    2
  2734.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  If has said it I feel sure he will do it.
    2
  2735. They have to pay for the dingy etc. etc. The smugglers are like holiday companies. Certainly don’t do it for. Not sure they offer travel insurance either.
    2
  2736. @ The last one saved me an absolute fortune. So as they say it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
    2
  2737.  @angr3819  Margret has made a valid point. You say our youngest. Is you youngest old enough to ride it legally ?
    2
  2738.  @margaretnicol3423  Great !
    2

  2827. Sorry Trump has been a bit naughty. But don’t think he can be blamed for a ship running into a bridge.

  2828. Not sure if President Putin will be too bothered about a few groundlings. They can be dealt with later.

    2
  2839. Because the media know that people like us will lap it up.
    2
  2840. One trouble is that Christmas has been taken over by companies selling product. Won’t do any harm cutting down on that so that Christ can return.
    2
  2841. Not sure why the U.K. gives people the option. It seems to encourage devision between those expect to buy a licence if needed & those who are not keen. Which begs the question. Why not be like Russia ? Where the National Broadcaster is funded out of taxes. No one seems to complain about the situation.
    2
  2842. Why is it a sad day for the BBC ?

    2
  2848. Many HGVs have been blown over on the A75, A74 and M6 near Tee Bay.
    2
  2849. A company has a legal right to turn away people they don’t want as customers. There does not have to be a reason. They can be asked to leave the premises. If they don’t leave they become a trespasser & can be removed using the minimum force necessary.
    2

  2857.  @absmith6237  Scotland often produces more power from wind than it needs. They sell the extra through the grid to England. The U.K. Scotland, England & Wales no longer have a single coal powered station. I have stood in the middle of a wind farm on Isley in the Hebrides. An island known for migrating birds. From my observation. Stories about the ground being littered with dead bird is far from the truth. There is only one coal mine. It’s open cast only producing steam coal. Used on heritage steam railways and other heritage sites. The mine is almost worked out. There are no plans for another. Coal brings toxic ash ponds.Mountain top removal leading contaminated to watercourses. With deep mining black lung. Plus mines closed without proper remediation leading to more contaminated land & water. Tens of thousands legacy oil wells leaking methane. Oil spills like the one that contaminated The Gulf. The Nigerian Delta won’t recover for decades. As you may have gathered I am no fan of dirty oil & coal.

  2858. Capital punishment is not legal option in the U.K.

  2859. Up to 100,000 people on the Aldermaston Marches & we still have The Bomb. Is GT just waisting her breath or worse still a distraction. I remember the marches. They were a big thing at the time. Did not appear to have made a blind bit of difference.

  2860. It’s perhaps a pity that the U.K. electorate voted to leave the Dublin agreement. As a member of the European Parliament he will have known it would it would increase the number of asylum seekers.

Their Mission Statements may make good reading but. When it comes down to it customers and staff & the environment are there to maximise profits.
    2
  2883.  @yvonnebraun020  About the same as another administration. Except that the electorate never give it chance to settle. More or less every two years people change their minds & the whole thing grinds to a halt. Things start moving in another direction before stalling again. Possibly the there are too many wide divisions & the whole country is more or less ungovernable. Having two Houses just makes matters worse.

Apparently in his cap with polished peak and white gloves he sort of took over traffic duty. He was know as Happy because he was. Happy to direct the traffic. Drivers happy about it. Used to give hime a wave and a smile. You don’t see that with a cop who would probably like to be elsewhere. Would Happy do well in an intelligence test i doubt it and possibly would not have passed a job interview. It was back in the days when diversity wasn’t a thing but it worked.

  2931.  @GerrySkeptic  I am old enough to know vaccines do work. The last person in the U.K. to die of smallpox did so within my lifetime. The same goes for poliomyelitis. Both were large scale killers before vaccines came along. The HPV vaccine is also reducing the risk of cervical cancer. The list goes on. Are you another person let down by religion ?
    2
  2932. @ Get rid of the RNLI the taxi service for boat people. Give up that £600 per year for crossing the beach. Use the building to make some real money.
    2
  2933. Who is this Davos bloke ?
    2
  2934.  @commonlawfella  One reason that our employers should have full access to our private lives. Including our computers, phones , tablets etc. We had one at work. Knew nothing about it. Only found out when one of the customers told us our workmate had been to court. He had told HR that he had a dental appointment.
    2
  2935.  @iggy5347  NATO can not make Ukraine join. Ukraine has to apply to join NATO.
    2
  2936.  @iggy5347  I remember the Cuban missile thing. We joked at the time that everyone should dig a trench in the garden. If the missiles started to fly we would get into the trench. Cover ourselves in brushwood & leave the place as tidy as we found it.
    2
  2937.  @iggy5347  No.
    2
  2938.  @franciscopineda2594  Not building enough housing. But there are empty shops being converted to residential in the nearest town. That will save building on farmland. Which is the only other option round here.
    2
  2939. Elon doesn’t allow it on X.
    2
  2940.  @Isclachau Didn’t they say the same about North Korea ?
    2
  2941.  @sarahwagland1559 Not causing hysteria in me or anyone I know.
    2
  2942. I am glad you cleared that up.
    2
  2943.  @mrsstaff78 Certainly can be a bit droll.
    2
  2944. The BBC have not been given USAID money.
    2
  2945.  @glennrunescape Nat West would allow him to open an account.
    2
  2946.  @adam7802  No why would I be. I may be a little embarrassed about no longer being rich enough for the one account. But I am pretty sure I would not go round shouting about it. But I am an optometrist rather than a victim.
    2
  2947.  @adam7802  Possibly because our Nigel played the victim. Instead of staying quiet the CEO talked to a journalist. That’s is why she resigned.
    2
  2948.  @peterduff9281  I have appraised myself of the facts. If you have why are you acting as one of his PR team.
    2
  2949.  @adam7802  Turns out our Nigel omitted to mention Nat West had offered an account. Why did he choose to take the self publicist victim route.
    2
  2950.  @adam7802  Yep. Apart from anything else. The the banks should be the same as any other business. If a customer becomes more trouble than the are worth get them gone. Nigel Farage seems intent on trouble because it ups his profile.
    2
  2951. The deliveries don’t & and never have gone in through the Store fronts.
    2
  2952. Has Liz Truss single handedly rebuilt the Red Wall ?
    2
  2953.  @15bit62  The U.K. has two drink drive limits. In Scotland it’s the same as France.
    2
  2954.  @judewarner1536  Sorry to say some of those books could be out of date. Things move on at a great rate. A scientific book more than ten years old could be inaccurate. Tectonic plates were discovered during my lifetime. A set of encyclopaedia purchased in the 1960s is going to provide facts that have been since been proved incorrect.
    2
  2955.  @Christina-uh8xk The WEF is a force for good. Helps head off the thing that lead to the Wall Street Crash. Mean some bad actors could take an interest.
    2
  2956. Go to Venice & say that. You will find the residents disagree. Tourists are slowly helping to erode the city.
    2
  2957. Russian’s have said openly. Berlin and beyond.
    2
  2958. It’s more about flood alerts etc. than anything national.
    2
  2959. Many aircraft have disappeared over the decades. The families know 99.9% chance their relatives are dead. Why drag it out.
    2
  2960. Would having only one door fall foul of fire safety regs. Does keeping emergency doors locked seem like a good idea. Why not learn from other countries & adopt sensible gun laws.
    2
  2961.  @peterduff9281 According to our Nigel Nat West have offered an account.
    2
  2962. Ireland is made of two countries. The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. They don’t even use the same currency. Euros in the Republic the pound elsewhere.
    2
  2963.  @danielbailey5849  Perhaps remove you head from the sand & look round.
    2
  2964. Security of food supply is more important than the car market.
    2
  2965. @dondoodatBecause under the law they have not committed murder. Endangering a child’s life yes. But not murder.
    2
  2966. @dondoodat This post of yours has stayed up.
    2
  2967. @dondoodat I also have the impression that it could be heavily trolled.
    2
  2968.  @melmorrison1400  You appear to have misread my place in the world. I am a groundling who believes that overall she has been a good PM. As far as I am concerned I am on the right side of history.
    2
  2969.  @wavydavy9816 Well said.
    2
  2970. Any chance of you repeating that. In English.
    2
  2971.  @geoff9759 Brexit meant also leaving the Dublin Agreement. People arriving on small boats trebled in number.
    2
  2972.  @GypsyDreams2 Haggis.
    2
  2973.  @Phreemunny Yep. You are dead right. But in fairness stood there at a rally. He did say. “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.”
    2
  2974. Why do we see Russian commentators saying. Berlin and beyond .
    2
  2975. Looks like we have returned to the MAD era. Lots of expensive toys to make big boys feel important.
    2
  2976.  @DecMc  Can you run that past me again please.
    2
  2977.  @DecMc  Thanks for the explanation. It had been totally lost on me.
    2
  2978. No but still managed to trigger people increasing their click, comment rate. All brings income.
    2
  2979. I am apparently not informed enough to know. Please explain the everything you are on about.
    2
  2980. He has been fined.
    2
  2981. Done for a very good reason. Time taken to get the different vaccines rolled out.
    2
  2982. The easy & cheapest answer would be for Putin to go home. Not one asked him to invade.
    2
  2983. HSR is common all over Europe. More lines going in. Why can’t the US do it to the same extent. Plus what about all the HSR in China. ?
    2
  2984.  @MacAdvisor  I have a distinct impression you may not have been here. Or have a wife who worked in the engineering dept of a national railway. I suggest a couple of months driving round Europe so you can see for yourself. A high speed line from Milan to Rome will in some ways be parallel but not on the same right of way. The old lines call at town stations now catering for local traffic. The new lines are mainly direct city to city. In part freeing up the old lines to carry more freight. This claim of yours that you can only use historic rights of way in Europe is tommy rot.
    2
  2985. The BBC Charter does not allow them to play judge & jury. Only report.
    2
  2986.  @NOVAX4ALL  A man is a person & so is a woman. Come to that so is a trans person. Person is a coverall & avoids gender discussions.
    2
  2987. Please don’t change anything about US gun laws. It’s great that classroom doors need to be locked. It’s an example to the rest of the world about why lack of any real gun control is a not a good idea.
    2
  2988. Seriously ?
    2
  2989. Even Lemmy from Motörhead has died. If Lemmy has gone the rest of us are bound to follow.
    2
  2990. Plenty of BBC reports on Palestine.
    2
  2991. In some ways the increase in people coming across the channel is down to our democratic vote. Before Brexit many of people coming across could be sent straight back to France. Perhaps discouraging people from crossing in the first place. One thing that makes me ask this is that numbers crossing have grown since the U.K. lost the ability to send people back.
    2
  2992.  @Rob_G716  How can the LA disturbances be a fake ?
    2
  2993. @ What about bombs ?
    2
  2994. So much misinformation.
    2
  2995. It’s not hard to leave iCloud at all. Just change your storage plan.
    2
  2996. Without context your comment does not convey a lot.
    2
  2997. Looks as though that 757 may now only have salvage value. Perhaps also racking up charges while sitting on the tarmac. Will it ever fly again. Place your bets here.😊
    2
  2998. What is this if it's not news ?
    2
  2999. So why do you think the god of the Jews, Christians etc is ‘the wrong god.’ ?
    2
  3000.  @JJRM8  Nearly happened in the U.K. a town was completely evacuated. Airforce chinook helicopters dropped tons of rocks while engineers started to drain the dam. If the dam had gone there would have been extensive damage.
    2
  3001. Nothing is likely to change very much. Why do politicians pretend they can stop the tide ?
    2
  3002. @ Now we have a strong Donald Trump he can do something Biden couldn’t. Donald can tell Putin. Get out of Ukraine and start paying reparation.
    2
  3003.  @Starf679  By the powers that be do you refer to international law. Because that ties the U.K. into this situation.
    2
  3004. At the moment the system relies on people being honest. Many aren’t & are even engaging others to be the same. Time there is a system that’s not so open to dishonesty.
    2
  3005. The drug has been in use for years. Have you heard of any significant side effects.
    2
  3006. Owe Tommy an apology for what ?
    2
  3007.  @thestorytelleruk  Citation needed to back up your claim that it ups accident rate. My experience on the M42 was that the accident rate dropped when variables were introduced. It also improved journey times.
    2
  3008. Didn’t the U.K. fire service claim its a possible fire hazard ?
    2
  3009. Looks like what is needed now is really big government. Much larger than there is now.
    2
  3010.  @Ok-vs7fj  Did you only ever lean to write this one sentence ?
    2
  3011.  @Daverocks-zp3kh  I don’t remember claiming that it did.
    2
  3012.  @Daverocks-zp3kh  Perhaps go to the German system. Apparently they pay €200 per annum per household. That covers them for both radio and or TV.
    2
  3013.  @Daverocks-zp3kh  Correct haven’t needed a U.K. radio licence since I think the 1960s. When you needed separate licence if you had one in your car. The Swedish apparently have a system where people on low incomes receive a discount. Personally I think even without taking BBC Radio into account the TV licence is good value. Don’t have to watch the endless 30 second repeats that come round every few minutes. I suppose the U.K. could go the U.K. could go the US route. If really lucky the U.K. could get their own Tucker Carlson.
    2
  3014.  @Daverocks-zp3kh  Your MP may be able to answer your question.
    2
  3015. Clickbait. Powerless people winding up others who are equally without influence. But at least it’s making someone money.
    2
  3016. So you decide to say. It’s easy to enter illegally. Possibly encouraging more people to try their luck.
    2
  3017. Who funds the BBC ?
    2
  3018. Global Britain is stuffed when it comes to theses boats. You could send people back but you voted to end that.
    2
  3019. No they didn’t.
    2
  3020. Shame would have come by walking on by while people are being attacked.
    2
  3021.  @geoms6263 Because fewer pieces of information are reaching hard copy.
    2
  3022. The NFU have said under the circumstances & public safety it was better than a rifle in a built up area.
    2
  3023. Why. What have they done wrong ?
    2
  3024.  @deusvult7559  Looks like we will have to disagree on that. Do you listen to radio 4 ?
    2
  3025. I watch BBC iPlayer on a tablet. That does not have an aerial. The feed comes via the internet in much the same way that Sky Glass works.
    2
  3026. But, the Donald has promised to start that war.
    2
  3027.  @blakespower I agree. I have spent time in a 4 seater at night circling at 1000 ft off to the east of the main runway. It’s surprisingly difficult to see jets coming in over the city.
    2
  3028. Someone is drinking Bud Light. So not a total boycott.
    2
  3029.  @The_washing_board Those who get picked up are photographed, have their fingerprints taken and are documented. Those who make it up a beach have non oof that.
    2
  3030.  @Julieoscar1 Australia did not tow the boats back to Vietnam. Most of the south Vietnamese people on them ended up being granted asylum.
    2
  3031. Putin reached his limit until he changed the rules.
    2
  3032.  @grumpystranger6377  Putin didn’t either when he started. Trump already directs a large proportion of the Supreme Court.
    2
  3033.  @greebo6549  Paranoia can be debilitating.
    2
  3034.  @AstuteRealm Which modern ideology. Please explain.
    2
  3035. Do you expect the UK to walk on by when another is attacked ?
    2
  3036. My heterosexual sexual parents wanted me to grow up like them.
    2
  3037. Many others know that is a load of tosh.
    2
  3038. They can no longer block roads like this in the U.K. ( Oct 2023 )
    2
  3039. Well said sir.
    2
  3040. What do you have against Oprah ?
    2
  3041.  @personalcheeses8073  Yep. You went the right way about it. If your experience is the same as mine you won’t hear for a couple of years when Capita’s Government contract with the Government contract forces them to recheck the properties licence status.
    2
  3042. Why would I make my life more complicated ?
    2
  3043.  @fontenbleau  Unlike Dr Fauchi not a nice man.
    2
  3044. China’s ready to walk into the roll of world leader. After watching the US in its death spiral.
    2
  3045.  @LightHearted-b8k  The BBC does not have the authority to apportion blame. They can only report the result of the official investigation. The average UK citizen is educated enough to know that.
    2
  3046. Whoever is voted in as Mayor will need to control London’s air quality. Keeping it within the UK legal limit. Might be asking each candidate how they intend to do it.
    2
  3047.  @fractalign  Will he be sentenced in October. Or will he be involved in appeals while drawing in cash through a save Steve fighting fund. Will he go ever go down ?
    2
  3048.  @aaronsande  Sounds like a pretty fair assessment.
    2
  3049.  @olilastname8844 I had been with you right up to your comment about the French. Was that really necessary ?
    2
  3050. I have eaten bugs. Happens a lot in the Far East. Quite trendy for foreigners.
    2
  3051.  @aeonparker-white9306  Have you talked to others in your street. How do they feel about becoming traffic free ?
    2
  3052. Starmer was being polite. Something I have noticed about Brits. Have they all read. How to make friends and influence people ?
    2
  3053. What will use to replace ULEZ in order to keep London’s air within legal limits.
    2
  3054. Did a woman. Perhaps the same one start, making the same about claim about a month ago. Plenty of time for DNA testing.
    2
  3055. @markylonDoing what ?
    2
  3056.  @jacobparker6460 Yep. Been there for over 100 years. Also two London, Birmingham lines that are over 100 years old. I have a feeling all three were all built in the 1800s.
    2
  3057.  @Nemoticon Possibly best ask the people who already use the train between Manchester and Birmingham.
    2
  3058.  @NeuroSatisfy They could build a new railway between Birmingham and Manchester. They decided the money would instead go to upgrading northern rail infrastructure.
    2
  3059. ⁠ @Justsaying-cg2nz All the immigrants I have seen working on HS2 don’t seem ungrateful. With well payed jobs why would they be. But it is a bit sad that not enough Brits are qualified to do those jobs.
    2
  3060.  @ashleyfairway.540 Isn’t it the fact that female students tend to spend less time commenting on social media. More time studying.
    2
  3061.  @AngelaBeacham She sounds like another Maggie Thatcher. She should run rings around Putin.
    2
  3062. Yep. I agree with that.
    2
  3063.  @martind7418  Wrong the DVLA doesn’t own my car or motorcycles. I have the paperwork to prove that I own them.
    2
  3064.  @antitheist2000  Forty years in the motor trade has left me knowing that you are sorely mistaken.
    2
  3065. So what ?
    2
  3066. Centuries ago King Canute proofed no mater how powerful no one can turn the tide. Not sure why anyone believes people who say they can.
    2
  3067. For me she is just another comedian to laugh at.
    2
  3068. It’s been reported on both BBC TV & Radio.
    2
  3069. @eyes wide shut This is just what I am saying. The majority listened to the European Research Group & voted to leave so we best stop moaning & get on with it. As far as Global Britten goes we no longer have any more than the BBC & perhaps the RAF Red Arrows. We have reduced ourselves to a little island off the coast of mainland Europe. Even MG Cars a long established U.K. brand are built in China.
    2
  3070.  @lacountess  Unfortunately social media earns more advertising money when people disagree. I occasionally wonder if they sometimes employ agents provocateurs.
    2
  3071. @ Good to hear there is more food than ever. But why are people starving ?
    2
  3072.  @MrBjax9000  Yes it is a problem. But people playing the racist card doesn’t help one bit.
    2
  3073. Our Nigel appears to be perfectly happy doing it.
    2
  3074. There have been many reports over a few decades. Not only US citizens affected.
    2
  3075.  @Newton_1988 The USA & NATO are not in Ukraine.
    2
  3076.  @shortbob4491  BBC Radio 4 news did announce the names of the men arrested. The website made it internationally news. Not sure what the fuss is about. If someone gets their face slashed round here it often does not even make it to the regional news.
    2
  3077.  @daughterofenoch677  I have a feeling it's trying to stir things up in order to generate hits to increase Andrew's income. But perhaps I am being a little cynical.
    2
  3078. There is an instance in the U.K. where someone throws milk over a group of people. He seems to be getting overwhelming support from the general public.
    2
  3079. Not having a TV license is not a criminal offence. No one can be sent to jail for not having one. You can be fined. Not paying the fine is unlikely to take someone to jail. Non payment of fines is normally dealt with by attachment of earnings or benefits.
    2
  3080.  @steelytemplar I have also see them.
    2
  3081. Are they being let into the country to get the facts. ?
    2
  3082.  @CelticSaint About the only place the full facts will come out is on MSM. Social media will have moved on before the full facts are established.
    2
  3083. Putin is such an embarrassment. Ukraine, three weeks max. Three years in and still not done. I am surprised he can show his face.
    2
  3084. @ Sorry Putin is an embarrassment. I’m not how he can show his face. Ukraine was supposed to take three weeks max. It’s been nearly three years. Still not done it’s also made the Russian military look inadequate.
    2
  3085. I may believe you if it were just this one event. But it isn’t.
    2
  3086. It’s Mammoth not elephant.
    2
  3087.  @sam.r8610  Glad you enjoyed the comment.
    2
  3088. Why don’t people inform TV Licensing if they don’t do anything that needs a license. It could also cut down on chat in the local Royal Mail office.
    2
  3089. I am quite surprised how many people argue the the bank and in this situation should publish their account details.
    2
  3090. Why ?
    2
  3091. Blade runner is a saboteur & should be treated as one.
    2
  3092.  @sebastianguerre6868 The BBC spent about an hour on it a few days ago.
    2
  3093.  @suburbia2050 Not so much the Gripen. Push comes to shove the engine can be replaced in a day without going to the shop. It’s designed to be used. The F35 seems almost a way to sell maintenance contracts.
    2
  3094.  @TestTest-ei4gi  In someways it could be a mirror image of the Cuban missiles crisis.
    2
  3095.  @Gmjd64  I agree. Things have changed. My late mother always said. Don’t set out to upset other people. Equally don’t set out to become upset.
    2
  3096. The Biden administration is what really counts.
    2
  3097. It’s a news report viewed mostly on phones and tablets. Get over it.
    2
  3098.  @aleph8888 Hasn’t it been suggested the the rest of the U.K. keep their noises of the Scottish legal system.
    2
  3099.  @alexanderjdivic4784  Hi sweetie. What tears. Hitler did invade Poland after he said he would not. President Putin has done the same in Ukraine. Much the same as Hitler told the world he wasn’t going while he built troops up on the border.
    2
  3100.  @libtardiacitizen  Not BS. It’s a matter of record.
    2
  3101.  @pauljames1258  Yep. Most of it is tosh. But what can you expect from Trump’s undereducated.
    2
  3102.  @alanwatterson2850  I definitely don’t rely on YouTube for information. Too many inaccuracies & downright lies. What I do on YouTube is aim to counter inaccuracies.
    2
  3103.  @curiositycloset2359 The Covid jab was great for people round me. The jab came along we stopped isolation & better still stopped dying.
    2
  3104.  @curiositycloset2359  Yep, we were advised to isolate. Good job as it turned out.
    2
  3105.  @michaeleccleshare691  I agree with you about voting remain. My wife & I are in our 70s know the benefits that came with the EU as apposed to pre EU. We both voted remain. We know a couple of pensioners who did not vote. Thought they did not need to because. 'No one would be daft enough to vote leave.'
    2
  3106. The BBC has correspondents from all over the world. It’s one of its strengths.
    2
  3107.  @danpreston564  How could you be any more in charge of it ?
    2
  3108. It’s there if you listen.
    2
  3109.  @iqbalsohel9166  Perhaps get your facts straight. The U.S. is not occupying Syria.
    2
  3110.  @DIESEL905 That doesn’t effect a private company having it’s own terms & conditions.
    2
  3111. It’s not just about kids. It’s also about older people with less than optimal hearing/eyesight. Perhaps it may save mobile phone users from getting themselves knocked down. Scotland were 20mph through villages in some parts of towns etc has been a thing for some years. it’s now generally accepted as on balance a good thing.
    2
  3112. Does he really have to be in danger to assist Ukraine ?
    2
  3113. If you listen again to this BBB piece you may see. Carrying a fixed blade is illegal with even without anything written on the blade.
    2
  3114. Looking a Jim’s comments I wonder if Jim has been unlucky in love.
    2
  3115.  @MrDavidDeakin No longer standard in the U.K. But plenty still,about.
    2
  3116.  @jawstrock2215  Pretty sure without them staff would need to spend time out looking for them.
    2
  3117.  @briaredpath9386 What do these facey things mean ?
    2
  3118. @ In my case it’s both watching Donald Trump at his rallies. Plus Project 2025 & the risk of Trump being put out to golf & JD Vanes taking over.
    2
  3119. Yes they should be arresting people who are guilty of assault. Plenty of video evidence. This is playing straight into JSO’s hands. Their new flash mob approach means they can turn up obtain video of them being assaulted & clearing off before the police have chance to arrive.
    2
  3120.  @hagar6359  JSO appears to be busy recording people committing assaults. Possibly useful as recruitment videos.
    2
  3121. No body is daft enough to remove flood defences. With that much rain dams can be overtopped. Possibly leading to collapse. Making the situation worse.
    2
  3122. The swipe across makes me feel nauseous. I have to stop waiting.
    2
  3123. The U.K. public voted for Brexit. MP’s respected the public view. That is why we have Brexit. Only ourselves to blame.
    2
  3124.  @bonkers2011  Yep. Fund the National Broadcaster out of tax like the rest of the world. With the current system payment is too easily dodged. No way the road fun license can be dodged. As your are driving ANPR cameras check that along with MOT, insurance etc.
    2
  3125.  @SergeantExtreme  Does not change the fact that reopening a mothballed plant. Is almost completely different to a new build. Unfortunately I did not check back to see who posted the original comment.
    2
  3126.  @philhunt9297  Pay more Council Tax so that more money can go to the police.
    2
  3127. @ What else are you going to use to rebuild towns ? Marzipan.
    2
  3128. @ Yep. I agree.
    2
  3129. Have the had time to gather evidence.
    2
  3130.  @shadowbeagle  The evidence needs to be able to stand up in court. In fact needs to be tested before it can even reach court.
    2
  3131. The Ukraine is not pro nazi.
    2
  3132. The BBC Children in Need has just raised £40 million for charity.
    2
  3133. The very fact that his in-laws are in Gaza could cause him problems. Also in the current situation how can the U.K. Government do a blind thing.
    2
  3134. No they are not being ignored.
    2
  3135. Surprised it has not happen before. With the bad taste jokes the hosts have dealt out over the last years someone would end up with a smack in the mouth.
    2
  3136. @ The industry is there. Ramping up production will a good thing. Will also help Europe’s balance of payments.
    2
  3137.  @sephritinegamer4life481 I have just spent time in hospital followed a spinal cord injury. Apart from the ambulance driver & his mate all I met were non white British. I have a feeling the NHS would collapse without them.
    2
  3138. British gave the US Constitution ? You can’t be serious. The US wrote its own.
    2
  3139.  @RichardJohnson-k3y  Sorry my English isn’t good enough to understand you.
    2
  3140. The BBC are doing very well out of the situation. Really in people’s heads which is bringing dividends.
    2
  3141. In the early 1960s fusion power was only ten years away.
    2
  3142. Are you still running that old joke. Haven’t you noticed. People have stopped laughing.
    2
  3143. I found it interesting.
    2
  3144.  @OghamTheBold  Is it not right that Nissan told the workers in the northeast that the company thought Brexit a bad idea. Did the northeast then go on to vote leave. Brexit is not all down to southerners. London is not in Kent.
    2
  3145.  @groaningmole4338  True that lab worker died in the Kathrine de Barns isolation hospital. ( U.K. )
    2
  3146. It’s really to track vehicle movements. If it comes to it although very expensive there are sensors that can read a later vehicles VIN as they pass.
    2
  3147. If you want what is happening on the European mainland to cause you to leave the U.K. so be it.
    2
  3148. I have used HP for years. HP haven’t warned me that using non HP cartridges could bring virus problems.
    2
  3149.  @Dantegrey1  They weren’t ignored. But appear to have been poorly handled by police & councils.
    2
  3150. Sorry to hear that MTG is scared of her TV. Why would anti fascist be interested in her. Does she see herself as a fascist.
    2
  3151.  @Felled-angel  Thank you.
    2
  3152. A friend ( 50 degrees north) runs two EV from solar panels & a PowerWall. Also decreased his annual domestic electricity bill.
    2
  3153. Not everyone knows.
    2
  3154.  @SapphiR3_ There is plenty more on BBC News Africa.
    2
  3155. I am not laughing at the BBC.
    2
  3156. Anna really does not get it. The BBC is required by law to allow all sorts to air their views. I hope the average U.K. citizen is smart enough to sort the wheat from the chaff.
    2
  3157.  @celticsole7542  No it’s not. They report on a regular basis.
    2
  3158. The BBC work for the British licence payer. Not the Government.
    2
  3159. @ The BBC has a steady income steam from YouTube. You are contributing to their income by clicking and commenting. I have a UK TV licence. For people in the U.K. it’s cracking value for money.
    2
  3160. I thought that it’s not unknown that in some areas the police automatically can gain access to footage from video door bells. All part of safer neighbourhood schemes.
    2
  3161. Late 1960s early 70s lots of cannabis about. It messed up some of my friends lives.
    2
  3162.  @minglee9288  I agree. I did not go that way.
    2
  3163. Which bit of America ? It’s a big place. Containing many countries.
    2
  3164.  @charshill2978 Scotland is part of the U.K.
    2
  3165.  @ToastWarner  Are you one of Donald’s beloved undereducated ?
    2
  3166. Possibly because nobody knows. Means the BBC aren’t making things up.
    2
  3167. The EU are going to insist that all smart phones, tablets, laptops etc will need to have user replacement batteries. The EU making USB C standard appears to have worked worldwide. I have a feeling it could do the same with batteries.
    2
  3168. How on earth can the police be blamed.
    2
  3169. Preppers have been telling us for years. The Government will wreck the country.
    2
  3170. I know it’s quite a big place but. Why does the USA appear to have an excessive amount of derailments.
    2
  3171. Why ?
    2
  3172. Years ago while driving a van the Police pulled me over at 03.00hrs. He asked if he could have a quick look in the back of the van. Not only was there nothing dodgy in there I wanted it to be seen to be the case. We exchanged a few pleasantries. Then is he headed back to his car I asked. It’s 03.00hrs the road is deserted & I had been doing 30 in a 30 limit. Why did you stop me ? Answer. Anyone keeping to the speed limit at this time in the morning is often over the drink drive limit or has something dodgy in the back of the van. Struck me as intelligent policing.
    2
  3173. Perhaps taxing is stopping Canada becoming just as bad.
    2
  3174. I suppose we could carry on producing carbon dioxide. Why should we even bother about our grandchildren ?
    2
  3175. Our Nigel seems to have forgotten all he learned about International law. I hope it’s not a sign of dementia.
    2
  3176. Not if you are stopping people getting to work, hospital, deliver food etc. Blocking a roadway can be a big deal.
    2
  3177. How is expanding the range of human knowledge stupid ?
    2
  3178. I left school in 1959. At that time those buildings were the thing. My Grandparents still an outside toilet & no bathroom.
    2
  3179. He did not. He said country with his British accent.
    2
  3180. Like you and I he not guilty until found guilty in court. At this stage he is the alleged perp.
    2
  3181.  @RobertMiller-ye9hm  Only an honest days pay for an honest days work. Possibly representing you.
    2
  3182. It is legit.
    2
  3183. I will surprised if it is not fully covered in tomorrow’s BBC Today programme.
    2
  3184.  @taras6806  May I take it that you don’t listen to the Today Programme.
    2
  3185.  @jeffsuter344  Are you suggesting he needs to be censored ?
    2
  3186.  @ItsMe-yv9jd  I dare say that holds true in the US. But you may have noticed there are other countries. They don’t all share the same laws. Somewhere like Pakistan have very different laws. Same goes for Japan where a YouTuber is starting a two year sentence for making himself a public nuisance.
    2
  3187.  @gostshield  YouTube content providers do it all the time. It’s a recognised way of eliciting clicks.
    2
  3188.  @unbreakable7633  People not going round being a Karen would not deliberately stir things up in the first place.
    2
  3189.  @mbsl275  Are you still supporting someone who apparently keeps getting 15 minutes of fame by being a Mega Karen ?
    2
  3190.  @ClericChris  For a start it’s not public property. It’s normally open to the public but anyone can be excluded by the owners. If they are told to leave & that ere not wanted on the premises returning makes them a trespasser. Where did you get the idea that the action takes place in a port.
    2
  3191.  @TheKatoffen  Please explain. Just where have I been proven wrong. I still stand by my assertion that a shopping mall etc would be better off removing public accessible pianos from their premises. Especially now that they have become a focus for monetised arguments.
    2
  3192.  @TheKatoffen Looks as though though corporations have already started to take fright. One public play piano that has been involved in a diplomatic incident that had reportedly gone worldwide has been roped off. Business PR departments are hardly likely to want something that could even potentially bring them into disrepute by association.
    2
  3193. I agree.
    2
  3194. Do you really think that everywhere could be designed to cope with years rain in eight hours.
    2
  3195. Not everything.
    2
  3196. They are. This is India.not even the same continent.
    2
  3197.  @ErnaldtheSaxon Are you sure that’s accurate ?
    2
  3198.  @crabjoe  Workers should be paid a better rate. Time to really unionise. Stop many having to rely on tips for a start.
    2
  3199.  @crabjoe  Let’s stop people cheating on their taxes. That goes for all levels of society.
    2
  3200. Why should the tax payer underwrite the uninsurable ?
    2
  3201. Where on earth did you get that idea ?
    2
  3202.  @stephenskinner3851  Dead customers don’t spend a lot unless it’s the undertakers.
    2
  3203.  @Folly1988  The award squad a term that has to my knowledge been used for at least five decades. I don't have a problem with anyone who has a genuine exemption. What I am not happy about is people saying they will claim disability when they don't have one. It can damage the credibility of everyone with a hidden disability.
    2
  3204.  @metalicminer6231  It even apparently even applies to some streets around the London Olympics site. Part of the legacy is that areas were redeveloped by private capital. These private investors now own whole blocks including the streets. They can ask people to just leave just as they can and already do in privacy owned shopping centres.
    2
  3205.  @Andrea.583  How can you be part of the awkward squad if you are exempt ? It’s the people who pretend to be and aren’t that can effect peoples perception of those with a hidden disability. Lots of people on here are being here are being clear that even though not disabled may claim it if challenged.
    2
  3206.  @DavidUKesb  Correct that is why you never give a reason for asking someone to leave private property.
    2
  3207.  @zakjuly6721  With freedom comes responsibly.
    2
  3208.  @michaelwheatland4565  Come back & let us all know when you have stopped paying Council Tax.
    2
  3209.  @michaelwheatland4565  Perhaps some people are happy with traffic free streets. Perhaps even voted for councillors with it on their agenda.
    2
  3210.  @ibexdnb2879  I know collective action was suggested. But how do you think one would ever get off the ground ? I you did manage to arrange a mass demo. Would it make any difference ? Over 200,000 turned up on some of the Aldermaston Marches. The world still has nuclear weapons.
    2
  3211. Is there any need to be nasty ?
    2
  3212. The energy distribution system could be made much more secure. But do we consumers want to pay the price.
    2
  3213.  Operation Bell Boy  I have not seen his bail conditions. So I can’t comment.
    2
  3214. @ What job have you done apart from spewing pollution ?
    2
  3215. Looking round me food production is beginning to suffer. The orchard produced a poor crop. The normally most productive plum variety totally failed.
    2
  3216. After all this time it’s Hunter’s lap top has stopped being any sort of issue.
    2
  3217.  @stuart4341 I agree with your reading of the situation.
    2
  3218. Tesla has always told drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel. Even brought in tech that’s supposed to ensure they do.
    2
  3219. She managed to land herself fairly cushy lifestyle. So not that dumb.
    2
  3220.  @hetrodoxly1203  WOKE coined in the 1940s as shorthand for people who had aWOKEn the social & racial inequalities. Can’t see why anyone has a problem with the term. It also seems odd that someone might use it as an insult.
    2
  3221. I wonder how Ben S would react to British Pantomime ?
    2
  3222.  @stequality  That is down to the company. Not the driver.
    2
  3223.  @putthecookiedown9761  I thought a WPC or CSO was in attendance so she would be safe. The company backed him up. I am pretty sure they would not have done that without consulting the CCTV. The driver could have done differently & perhaps ended up on a verbal warning.
    2
  3224. It’s the Christian thing to do.
    2
  3225.  @Frank_Kimono  Sorry. Not enamoured of your attitude.
    2
  3226. The area also produces salad crops. Unfortunately a lot has been washed away or been left coated in mud. Orange groves have also been damaged.
    2
  3227. BBC and Gaza. Glad thy are giving it a rest.
    2
  3228. You are entitled to your opinion. But the Womp womp may leave people wondering.
    2
  3229. Our experience has been totally different. They were as good as gold when the wife phoned to say we had removed the TV from our second home. She checked about half an hour later to find a refund in the account. Not heard thing from them since. They did say thy will check with us after two years to see if circumstances had changed.
    2
  3230.  @tweetypie1978  Not seen that on any doorstep videos. But it sounds like a move in the right direction.
    2
  3231. This is supposed be about the European Union. Why does it appear to be all in English ? Seems to be a little suspicious.
    2
  3232. But the replacement bridge will need to be built to modern codes.
    2
  3233. A TV Licence is a choice. Nobody is forced to do anything that needs one.
    2
  3234. Was it a McDonald’s owed & run branch ?
    2
  3235.  @anyarodionova8889 Putin has made his aims clear. Making talking a complete waste of time.
    2
  3236. Perhaps mistaken for Just Stop Oil.
    2
  3237.  @normanbirk3075 Don’t worry there always has and always will be money in muck.
    2
  3238. Borax is used for killing woodworm.
    2
  3239.  @Christopher_T_Paul  Thanks Chris. It’s a thing I also encourage. Living in a semi rural location were A/. The power arrives via above ground cables. B/. Near the end of the line we used to have fairly regularly power outs. Installing a generator to power the whole place. Expensive & a faff. A couple of UPS units to give us targeted power is our preferred setup.
    2
  3240. Jobsworth. Some who is doing what they are being paid for. I expect Council employees to do that.
    2
  3241.  @TheSadButMadLad  Using it as a derogatory term for someone doing their job is classic Trollspeak.
    2
  3242. Anyone doing their job properly should feel satisfied. I am not happy that some possibly lazy people don't. You not being happy about bylaws does not give you the right to Trollspeak the person has to apply them. Something people seem to forget is that employees jobs are audited. Not easy to let things slide.
    2
  3243. Getting your own solar plus a Powerwall can remove your reliance on the grid.
    2
  3244.  @user-John666  No I did not base my vote on info found in a pub chains magazines. Along with things our Nigel had been saying. I thought it twaddle & voted remain.
    2
  3245. President Trump will do away with the wind mills. Leading to a decrease in wind events.
    2
  3246. It appears that his Scottish golf courses may also be heading down the slot.
    2
  3247.  @1941г  I don’t believe a word of that. I suppose you can provide a citation.
    2
  3248.  @flybobbie1449  We had an armoury as part of the ATC. My friends school had one for their Army Cadet Corps.
    2
  3249.  @reginaldgraves1684  Neither of those are a government. They are just talking shops. Like a rather fancy group of mates together down the pub.
    2
  3250.  @lizroberts1569  No mobile phones etc so the Windscale Fire event had to use the siren ( Rather like an escape from Hatton. ) No TV in the area so the news has to be spread by radio, newspapers & the police. This new system is a vast improvement over the 1950s. But it appears that like me it’s not yet perfect.
    2
  3251. One thing not mentioned. They grow a lot of salad crops along that coastline. Being swompd by muddy water or the very soil they are growing in swept away won’t help.
    2
  3252. Where did the ball end up ?
    2
  3253. Yep you are correct the BBC & Al Jazeera are the place for getting reliable reporting.
    2
  3254.  @geraldboesen5037  Perhaps don’t give up the day job. Comedy does not appear to be your forte.
    2
  3255. I also hope so. Because if reports about vaccination rates are true. The old are pretty vulnerable.
    2
  3256. If you are interested. Reports on the BBC News website.
    2
  3257. There isn’t a specific M Pox vaccine.
    2
  3258. 737 Max anyone.
    2
  3259.  @tentaklaus9382  There are grooming gang of all ethnicities. Happened all over the world. The only young people I have personally known to have been affected were fiddled with by a group of Caucasian priests.
    2
  3260.  @RogerMellie-yk3gw  That’s OK. Took me awhile to find out. In the end I picked it up from a thread. Since then it’s appeared in context.
    2
  3261.  @kellysmith1421  Is that drink talking ?
    2
  3262.  @bumfluffmcregor3730  Don't let them get away with it. Perhaps join the local area watch. It can cut down on chav behaviour & improve matters no end..
    2
  3263.  @zainzoala1083 The BBC have had a whole lot features about it on both Radio & TV. Woman’s Hour on Radio 4 is particularly hot on the subject.
    2
  3264. @ The Labour party has only been in power for less than a year. The Tories held onto the results of multiple enquiries for over a year. Why didn’t they take action ?
    2
  3265.  @The1trueDave  At the very least the dinghy crossings will cut the number applying
    2
  3266. What propaganda. You not liking what you hear don’t make it propaganda.
    2
  3267. How long would it take to get money out of the shipping company ?
    2
  3268. @ Yep. Air Accident investigations look for the things that went wrong. With an aim to stop it happening again. They are not looking for blame which encourages people to be truthful. I used to fly a bit but that was back in the 1960’s. That was in some basic aircraft. The fuel gauge on one was a piece of thick welding wire. With a cork on one end and a brass knob on the other. I do subscribe to the Pilot Debrief YouTube channel so still show that much interest.
    2
  3269.  @lilbullet158  Yep.
    2
  3270. You are correct. The changing crop conditions may bring big changes. Yep it was very lush back in the day but how many of the plants would fit the human diet.
    2
  3271. Nobody in the U.K. is forced to do anything that needs a licence.
    2
  3272.  @discostu2246  Yep. One reason I’m still alive. Also not suffering from long Covid.
    2
  3273.  @DavidZxt1 The BBC seems to attract attention.
    2
  3274.  @Acheron666  Perhaps the checks cost many times more than the license fee. How much would a license need to cost to even be cost neutral.
    2
  3275.  @Censortubesownedyou  ?
    2
  3276.  @getuptogetdown918  Would you be willing to allow a news organisation to your medical records ?
    2
  3277. Which god are you praying to ? Taking all the religions into account the are at least a dozen fairly major gods.
    2
  3278.  @flameshoter6  I see this type of delivery vehicle around Western Europe. There doesn’t seem to be any problems about them being stolen or items disappearing from them. But the comments on here have reenforced the feeling that the USA is going down the slot.
    2
  3279.  @wqv5423ln Good question.
    2
  3280. If he is blind my guess is that he is not looking at anything.
    2
  3281. Sorry lorry parks did exist in 2016 the one at Stop 24 is definitely older than that. The same with many secure parks that the general public may not be aware of.
    2
  3282. I did not see anything that could be termed insensitive.
    2
  3283.  @s.muller8688  It’s happening. The same as smokeless zones happened.
    2
  3284. @ Unfortunately it wasn’t a joke
    2
  3285.  @anitawilson9325  Under UK law the BBC had to keep their nose out. It could be seen as interference in a. Police investigation. His solicitor could have used that to argue that the case should be thrown out.
    2
  3286.  @gingernutpreacher  What you say is true. A long term study would help alert people involved to any upcoming problems. Best to keep an eye on the people involved. Hopefully pick up any problems before it’s too late.
    2
  3287. How many citizens want a new refinery next door or even ten miles down the road ?
    2
  3288.  @appolle  Showing both side is why people call them the HAMMAS Broadcasting Corporation.
    2
  3289.  @bieituns I have read to Bible from cover to cover plus attended Bible studies. It contains some real nasty stuff.
    2
  3290. That Received Pronunciation. I have a feeling your first language isn’t English.
    2
  3291.  @TroyaE117  The Railways have been privatised so it’s privately property. Basically it’s like any supermarket, shopping mall etc.
    2
  3292.  @markthomas7279  Rail stations were part of privatisation. It’s private land.
    2
  3293. Is the US a once great nation actually aiming to become a banana republic ?
    2
  3294. Has President Putin bitten off more than he can chew ?
    2
  3295. Looks a bit like he is a war monger.
    2
  3296.  @warlockuk6939  For one thing you claimed you had to go court & apologise to a judge. Judges sit in Crown Court. Not County Courts. The things you are claiming would not come up in a Crown Court.
    2
  3297.  @dominiclane8538  Same thing said when unions first came into existence. A lot of employers were screwing the workers which triggered the creation of unions.
    2
  3298.  @paradisebreeze1705 Do you have some other reason or is because they are being targeted by thieves ?
    2
  3299. The U.K. no longer has coal fired electricity. Wind turbines & solar farms are being installed. Scotland which does tend to be a little windy can be windy sometimes produces more power from wind than they need. Selling the spare to the English via the grid.
    2
  3300. Are some west coast and north east states thinking of joining Canada. Escaping US healthcare and wondering if your kids are going to be shot in school.
    2
  3301. I find it a bit odd some said if Biden wins there will be civil war brought on by the Democrats. Trump won now is civil war triggered by Republicans.
    2
  3302. Am I correct in thinking. If the Family Court is involved it’s illegal to publish details.
    2
  3303.  @Aeronaut1975 I agree. Russia invaded Ukraine even though they promised not to. Ukraine has the right to fight back.
    2
  3304. @ Sorry to say you could be correct.
    2
  3305. Got five and a half minutes into Donald’s speech. Started to go to sleep.

  3306. I thought it general knowledge that water is pipped to Cali.

  3307.  @LC500-m1s Which is just why we don’t need yet another enquiry kicking the can down the road. There are clear recommendations just do something the Tories did not do. Get on and implement them. Is Elon trying to distract us from his father’s behaviour ?
    2
  3308. Russia invaded Ukraine. So what makes you think Ukraine should not invade Russia ?
    2
  3309. Yep, Israel teaches them well.
    2
  3310. Could we could just not give them any support. Let them fend for themselves ?
    2
  3311.  @bones6978 Boris wasn’t in a position to tell Zelenskyy anything. Ukraine decided to defend its sovereignty.
    2
  3312. Doesn't anger reduce the ability to have rational thought ?
    2
  3313.  @curiositycloset2359  Anger tends to make people loss their critical thinking abilities. Being angry is often counterproductive.
    2
  3314.  @curiositycloset2359  So conspiracy theories as well. Glad I don’t share your thoughts.
    2
  3315. Please tell me more.
    2
  3316.  @MixedRaceAndProud1690  You will need to do better than that.
    2
  3317. He has been fined. A lot quicker than you or I would have been.
    2
  3318. If the vehicle is completely burnt out how on earth could anyone really know what caused the fire ?
    2
  3319.  @annemoncrieff3875 t appears you did not notice. This took place in Scotland definitely not England. Not sure we like you saying England.
    2
  3320. The sooner all ICE cars are off the road the better. They are so 20th century.
    2
  3321.  @xTerminatorAndy  Sorry. I meant to comment :- Thank goodness people in the U.K. DON'T have guns in the same way they do in the U.S.
    2
  3322.  @pdfgotwreckedbyasmracwolvi8205  Sorry I had forgotten all about that one.
    2
  3323.  @pdfgotwreckedbyasmracwolvi8205  Yes. But I feel that editing a comment to hide an error is a little dishonest.
    2
  3324. How are they supposed to know that.
    2
  3325. Zelensky did not allow Ukraine to be bullied.
    2
  3326. Reminds me of the U.K. in the 1980s. When fans would actually set out to have a rumble. Very rarely near the ground because too many police around. The chap next door was one of the organisers. He got copped. His wife tried to kid us he was working away while he spent time in jail.
    2
  3327. The Republicans largely voted against the Biden administration’s Infrastructure Bill. Perhaps we should remember that in November.
    2
  3328. Does this Andrew thing boil down to what was a good time girl being told by a lawyer that she can claim money. Effectively turning someone who was out for a good time into a call girl. Is the lawyer a sort of pimp ?
    2
  3329. I am a BBC Licence payer & approve of this report.
    2
  3330.  @ecaeas4439 I see Cameron as a competent person. Pity the electorate listened to the ERG.
    2
  3331. One thing that Nicola Sturgeon did not mention is that at the 2014 election the UK was part of the EU. Leaving has changed a lot of things. Not necessarily to her advantage.
    2
  3332. @ Well said.
    2
  3333. Which god. Are you talking about the god shared between the Jews, Christians & Muslims. Perhaps even one of the many Hindu gods.
    2
  3334. Not being correctly licensed was decriminalised about forty years ago. Someone appears to be telling fibs.
    2
  3335. @Lorrainegalloway222 The bin men got their wish for a while. But what with volunteers and bin trucks from outside the area the backlog is almost cleared. But it is a pity the dispute brought the city so much publicity. It’s also a pity that the council has been left effectively bankrupt by an equal pay court ruling.
    2
  3336. @ What’s happening in the summer ?
    2
  3337.  @gilenasimons7081 Shame on who ? It was a BBC investigation that exposed the extent of JS’s wrongdoing. The police had looked but know-one had come up with enough to charge him.
    2
  3338.  @jimmysjamin1  Looks like Europe are back into surplus gas. Germany who had been the biggest user of Russian gas has opened a brand new LPG import facility. LPG tankers have been queuing to deliver supplies from as far away as Australia. Europe appears to be quite nimble in obtaining alternative energy supplies. The mild weather & people cutting down a bit has allowed stocks of all fuels to build up. Talk of power cuts are receding. Taking all in all looks like you are being over pessimistic. Unfortunately the fuel thing does not do much to stop Russian aggression slowing down food supplies to the Middle East & Africa.
    2
  3339. Haggis.
    2
  3340. Alfred E Newman says. What, me worry ?
    2
  3341. Don’t look like they are.
    2
  3342. It’s a pity that Ukraine did not have the strength to defend itself at that stage. Also a pity that Ukraine believed Russian when they said. We promise we won’t attack if you remove the nuclear weapons from your land. Ukraine kept its part of the bargain. Russia didn’t.
    2
  3343. @ Why would anyone do that. The licence is great value for money.
    2
  3344.  @Rachel_M_  people apparently hide the fact they need a TV licence. You can’t hide fishing or a radio transmitter.
    2
  3345.  @snowyowel7961  They are elected by the MP’s who the population elected to do the job.
    2
  3346. The money charged goes into the public purse. Paying toward public services.
    2
  3347.  @disorganizedorg Who on earth is David Nutt
    2
  3348. Is cannabis now less addictive . It certainly seemed addictive back in the late 60s early 70s.
    2
  3349. Sorry sunshine. The BBC have spent years gaining my trust. They are much more reliable than social media.
    2
  3350.  @darrenjohns8694  They seem to down our lane. Don’t appear to be going anywhere but out for a ride. It’s a narrow sunken lane with unsuitable for HGV signs on a slight grade. The lane carries agricultural traffic. 4X4 tractors often with large trailers. Large sprayers & multi furrow plows. Tankers carrying milk & or fuel. HGVs carrying livestock & farm supplies. During term time also full size coaches. During the cereal harvest there are combines that take up the full width of the tarmac. The cyclist are a nuisance especially during harvesting when with UK weather there is no time to spare when getting whatever from field to store. No time to faff about having to follow cyclists. On a slightly separate note. Are cycles supposed to be fitted with bells or other warning devices. Standing on top of the slope over the lane I can see that very few have bells etc.
    2
  3351. Does it mater just what was damming the river.
    2
  3352.  @fingsnstuff9525  it seems that the comments are.
    2
  3353.  @ObsidianXXX You don’t have to pay the BBC or go to prison. You Brits don’t actually pay the BBC anything. The TV licence money is passed to the Government. 250,000 homeless in LA alone. The U.K. can’t get anywhere near that number.
    2
  3354.  @veronicacrabtreehill6608 Yep. The Biden Administration has made the economy the envy of the world. Let’s work together.
    2
  3355. What on earth can the UN do in this situation ?
    2
  3356. All U.K. residents don’t love Germany. Look how many decided they were being oppressed by the EU especially Germany. I voted remain.
    2
  3357. Why do so many people appear scared of the BBC ? There won’t be all this fuss if they weren’t.
    2
  3358. I bet burglars see demonstrates as a god send. While the police are of trying to prevent a Breach of the Piece they can’t be catching housebreakers. Protests could be seen as the criminals friend.
    2
  3359.  @NotDuncan Are are you sure it’s not Russians or anyone else who may wish to ferment devision .
    2
  3360.  @FuneFox  I have not seen any reason to believe your claim. Perhaps you could come up with some concrete evidence.
    2
  3361. The BBC have been reporting the subject for years.
    2
  3362. They are honestly reporting what the polls are saying.
    2
  3363. What is ?
    2
  3364.  @FPSYouTubeChannel  Not translated by YouTube.
    2
  3365.  @FPSYouTubeChannel  No what ?
    2
  3366. Yep. Putin should clear off home & start paying reparations.
    2
  3367.  @villhelm  it least it should cure drugs & alcohol problems. A few missing hands could also discourage shop lifting etc.
    2
  3368. The birthrate is falling over most of the world. Chinese population is already falling.
    2
  3369. @ You could be correct.
    2
  3370. @Thewestisthevirus Have you thought of saying no card payments under £5.00 like a lot of small traders do.
    2
  3371.  @Diovanlestat  But this is YouTube where people feel free to just make things up. Trouble is the made up thing tends to be passed on as fact.
    2
  3372. Who or what is Bo ris ?
    2
  3373.  @Dibyalochan123  Boris Johnson’s brother ? I don’t know who he is or that he even existed.
    2
  3374. The U.K. don’t have a single colony.
    2
  3375.  @linhnguyen-rc4gw  Too much suppliantly evidence for me to believe your claim.
    2
  3376.  @xinpingdonohoe3978 It’s the legal definition.
    2
  3377. @ May in inquire what you feel is reality.
    2
  3378.  @markstarmer3677  I agree with you. Buy a vehicle & it becomes a liability more than an asset.
    2
  3379.  @MR_THINQ  Too true.
    2
  3380.  @coffeebreaktheology2634  Ever thought of investing in a pension ?
    2
  3381. Trump told the world he would not allow North Korea to develop nuclear weapons. Before Trump left office. North Korea not only has nuclear weapons but rockets to,deliver them to parts of,the U.S. I wonder what he is going to do about Alaska ?
    2
  3382. Plenty of private companies are asking for it. What is wrong with the White House doing something about it ?
    2
  3383. Lora Loomer, one of Donald Trumps lawyers is praising Andrew Tait saying the world needs more ‘real’ like him. I don’t agree with her.
    2
  3384.  @meatballg8655 I will believe that when I see details published on Mainstream Media.
    2
  3385. That is not why he is in prison.
    2
  3386. The BBC has been reporting on this for a while.
    2
  3387. I prefer the idea of a President who isn’t in hock for Millions.
    2
  3388.  @matt8847  I very much do support support President Biden. He is not the one in hock for millions. It’s former President Trump who is In money trouble up passed his ears. That’s before more money worries on it’s way from the U.K. Looks like some people have the former president by the privates.
    2
  3389.  @lancemcque1459  The German nuclear power stations were shut down after the Japanese accident. I believe because people became risk averse. Why would climate change have a problem with them ?
    2
  3390. All this says was that no one in the room knew who some was he was or exactly what he did.
    2
  3391.  @starShadowe  He is the one currently controlling who is below him.
    2
  3392.  @RUSTYVELOX Whose culture ? Places in Scotland have or had Council issued trowels for people to burry their excretions.
    2
  3393. Sorry you have missed them. There if you look.
    2
  3394. The media do not award the Noble Prize.
    2
  3395.  @dazjackson1972 Not for closing his account. They stand by that.
    2
  3396.  @sonnykeith8338  She resigned because she spoke out of turn. If she had said nothing it would not be a problem. Nigel apparently told the world that no other bank would touch him. He has now said in a BBC interview that he was offered a Nat West account. He also accepted an apology from the BBC for reporting what turned out to be only part of the truth. Said he felt no ranker toward the BBC & repeated he had accepted the BBC apology. There was no need for the world to know anything about his account being closed. Possibly would not have done if Nigel hadn’t thrown his teddy out of the pram.
    2
  3397.  @sonnykeith8338  If I kicked my teddy’s out of the pram & told fibs I would not be too surprised if people wanted to state their position. They shouldn’t because if they betrayed a confidence that would make them as bad as me. That is the reason the CEO resigned. Should have kept her mouth shut.
    2
  3398.  @sonnykeith8338  Nigel being an ardent self publicist doe not always work in his favour. Sometimes it’s better to stay quiet. I am not suggesting he did anything wrong telling the world his account had been closed because it was below the account threshold. But claiming that no one would open an account for him was not true. The bank having an internal discussion about his political life was unfortunate. But it’s no more than has gone on in the 19th hole. A golf club also takes a potential member’s reputation into account. There are all sorts of reasons for not opening a business account. It could be as simple the business not being able to produce up to date signed off accounts.
    2
  3399. Within the first 35 seconds the presenter admitted he does not know what is going on. Then continues to waffle on.
    2
  3400. Can’t see a problem. One Nigel Farage has do the Brexit golden dawn the UK economy will be overflowing with cash.
    2
  3401.  @RiskyOpinions  You do care. The effort needed to make a comment proved it.
    2
  3402.  @Ok-vs7fj  Still the same old repeat sentence. Can we have a new one ?
    2
  3403. Changing weather patterns are starting to affect food production. Not in a good way.
    2
  3404. Looks like MTG can’t take the heat.
    2
  3405. Both aircraft were flying under the direction of Air Traffic Control.
    2
  3406.  @jedimasterbazz True but seeking asylum is perfectly legal.
    2
  3407.  @giakolou2876 At least allow them to work & contribute to the economy.
    2
  3408. @ Very common to see bots.
    2
  3409. Was he trying to trigger a breach of the peace. Perhaps arrested for his own safety.
    2
  3410.  @theclotshotdidit3115 It won’t change the weather. It’s a nudge to encourage people towards driving less polluting vehicles.
    2
  3411. I applaud the BBCs action.
    2
  3412. Past my motorcycle test first time. No lessons needed back then. Over 200,000 miles later & I still have all my bits. Passed car test second time after one lesson to deal with fail points. But we did have one advantage. We drove tractors as soon as we could work the controls because the men needed to be freed up for the lifting.
    2
  3413. Russia moves nuclear weapons to Belarus. So what. Might as well not bother.
    2
  3414. Dark Brandon is brighter than you think.
    2
  3415. The world has changed. My father was one of thirteen. Seven made its to adulthood. The rest succumbed to various infectious diseases. In my lifetime the last smallpox death in England happened in a Fever Hospital within eight miles of my birthplace. I had over a year off school because of one infectious illness alone. Every year the local paper published the death and disabled figures for polio. Women who caught German measles early on in a pregnancy could give birth to a disabled child. A whole list of thing could lay you low. How many people in the U.K. have even heard of Scarlet Fever and time in the local Fever Hospital. What saved us from all these illnesses ? Vaccines. The fact that some people could be anti-vax is a little surprising.
    2
  3416. @ Elon comes over as a bully.
    2
  3417.  @TS111WASD  Each to their own.
    2
  3418.  @racheltaylor185  That is a sobering thought.
    2
  3419.  @Ryanjoned163  Yep. But still needs to be answered.
    2
  3420.  @johannageisel5390 Correct and it’s beginning to affect food production.
    2
  3421. @ Foot production has been effected in all sorts of places. Local farmers have experienced waterlogged fields where they end up ploughing the dead crop back in. Next doors orchard have had a terrible year. Generally poor. Their best cropping plumbs totally bare.
    2
  3422. Nigel encouraged people to vote for Brexit which took the U.K. out of the Dublin Agreement. Which meant that boat people could no longer be sent back to the EU. Not surprised that people are upset about that but. It’s no excuse for throwing milkshake.
    2
  3423. The just report.
    2
  3424.  @ricardoortiz-ij6io  I saw either the same report or one quite like it. No one seems bothered about radiation.
    2
  3425.  @ЛенаУсманова-х4щ  President Trump described President Putin as a great statesman & a nice chap. Does not found very warlike.
    2
  3426. Trump is weak. He told Little Rocket Man he would not allow hime to develop nuclear weapons. Kim developed nuclear. Trump rolled over & let Kim tickle his tummy.
    2
  3427. Don’t worry folks. Corporate America will smile as they buy out cheap.
    2
  3428.  @неЄва Israel doesn’t allow international journalists into Gaza.
    2
  3429. Little Britain.
    2
  3430. If Trump removes all those cancer giving windmills there won’t be so much wind. So it’s win, win.
    2
  3431. Why all the waffle from the second presenter ?
    2
  3432.  @nuqwestr It’s by travel firms. Not by Universities.
    2
  3433. BBC just raised £40 million for Children in Need.
    2
  3434.  @kingpkl Sticks and stones may break my bones but insults never bother me.
    2
  3435. @ True. Decommissioning old weapons and shells etc. is expensive. Plus even burn pits can cause fatal illness.
    2
  3436.  @twesj Or perhaps Christians. They don’t walk by on the other side.
    2
  3437. @ The had good teachers. The Empire is coming home.
    2
  3438. @Deano-t9v I don’t know. But I am not to proud to ask.
    2
  3439. This is international news. Who in the rest of the world gives monkeys about a U.K. march ?
    2
  3440.  @oildrag  I suggest taking legal advice before non payment of Council Tax. Failing that talk to people who have taken that route.
    2
  3441. Egypt is a Muslim country but they haven’t been banned.
    2
  3442.  @marcusdc2  With jokes it’s the way you tell them. Tone of voice etc. Straight off the page they often don’t appear funny.
    2
  3443.  @oojimmyflip Doesn’t Canada have pump storage. And or grid batteries ?
    2
  3444. I don’t have any problem with the pay system. It works OK for me. It’s all automatic when the money in my account drops below £10 it takes the amount have requested from my bank to top it up. Personally I don’t give a monkey’s who owns it. Also think the congestion charge must reduce the queues for the tunnels. The queues for the tunnels will reduce when the new tunnels that are going in a few miles east open.
    2
  3445. One of things on all insurance policies is. Don’t admit liability. They are not going to pay out without a fight.
    2
  3446. It’s not a BBC Licence.
    2
  3447.  @MBajwa75 Why not. Don’t people step in to defend something being unfairly attacked.
    2
  3448.  @dododostenfiftyseven4096  Your evidence for that claim is ? But whatever, there is no legal excuse for inflicting criminal damage.
    2
  3449.  @jasonrustmann7535  Why would a mob go after her ? She is the one being victimised.
    2
  3450.  @Obihann  I looks like you may have missed the part about the bus having reversed of the stand & was pulling away when she ran in front of it.
    2
  3451. When did that happen. We still motorcycle rallies. Can’t get better than that.
    2
  3452. I have not noticed that. In fact it’s Donald Trump who shouted fight, fight, fight.
    2
  3453.  @lenajaques4183  Sirens decommissioned in I believe 1992. As far as I know all that have not been repurposed have been removed. A siren tells you no more than there is a siren going off. Does not tell you why. The last time the sirens went of in Leamington Spa nobody took any notice. Turned out to be a false alarm. A button & lever were not labeled & someone pushed the button & pulled the lever to see if anything would happen.
    2
  3454. OK let’s hear your numbers. Time to put up or shut up.
    2
  3455. There is a chance it will come on prescription so many won’t need to buy it.
    2
  3456. Why should they ?
    2
  3457. Hello Ivan.
    2
  3458. Does Baltimore or large parts of country have the time while the insurance companies argue over 10 cents.
    2
  3459. @ Yep. Trump say he will protect women whether they want it or not. Perhaps he can protect their pretty little from the worry of going to the polls.
    2
  3460. Shouting won’t make a blind bit of difference.
    2
  3461. I am sure it’s reported elsewhere but. It seems to be mostly on the BBC.
    2
  3462.  @metapol118 Do you have any proof ?
    2
  3463. @ Good to know. Thanks.
    2
  3464. Why in morning. It all creates content. Which in turn creates income. Making the accountants happy.
    2
  3465. LB keeps showing she could transfer to the comedy circuit. Even keep the same set of gags.
    2
  3466. Putin mad such a mess of going into Ukraine. I am surprised that he can show his face.
    2
  3467. That’s something the courts would need to decided.
    2
  3468.  @cs7th  Unless we know for sure there has to be doubt.
    2
  3469. I have not been able to find anything about CONASUPO. Are you really sure that there is any sort of Chernobyl effect.
    2
  3470. Not sure that is true. Didn’t some of them end up in court ?
    2
  3471.  @mda5003  Were they in contempt of court because ignored an order to not block roads. It appears to be all about blocking roads. Please correct me if I have misunderstood the situation.
    2
  3472. Harris didn’t keep coming with inaccuracy that needed correction.
    2
  3473. He is i a hole. Why does Peter Douchy keep digging himself further in ?
    2
  3474. Russia best hand themselves over to China.
    2
  3475. Which god is that ?
    2
  3476. No sun-visors. Just one reason it won’t get type approval in Europe.
    2
  3477.  @awpetersen5909  His constituency don't appear to want rid of him. He keeps being re-elected so they must be happy.
    2
  3478.  @JohnSmith-fr7js  Don’t we all.
    2
  3479.  @WendyJones-zx7is  A wet signature is no longer a legal requirement. Hasn’t been for some years.
    2
  3480. I have just noticed. The trailer doesn’t have side anti run under bars. Is this normal in the US ?
    2
  3481.  @Jeff-tr2vp  I don’t know but their involvement was mentioned on TV & radio. They were said to be known internationally & donated their services FOC. ( Free of Charge )
    2
  3482. Many U.K. homeless don’t want to use a hostel. That’s with only one bed per cubical they may be even less keen on two beds.
    2
  3483.  @sunnydevilliers6767  The immigrants are not all able bodied men. You appear to have been GROSSLY misinformed. A Whitehall relative involved in child protection has visited immigrant reception centres.
    2
  3484.  @jc268  Not surprisingly really most of the U.K. electorate appears to be OK with anything that cuts costs. That also may discourage others from crossing.
    2
  3485. Britain doesn’t have a Congress so how could that happen.
    2
  3486. Putin started it with his. Little green men.
    2
  3487. If you don’t watch how can you call it Tell Lie Vision ?
    2
  3488. Yet others have said the BBC underplayed it. Apparently usual British understatement.
    2
  3489. Why on earth should he ? He wasn’t the one who invaded.
    2
  3490.  @VFella Any advance on Black Sabbath ?
    2
  3491.  @ZenzeroCAM  I agree entirely. The only people who can deal with the situation in a timely fashion is the Government. Getting insurance companies to even except responsibility could take an age.
    2
  3492. Is the need for money something to do with Council Tax.
    2
  3493. No it isn’t. Plus it mostly affects children.
    2
  3494. He appears to a on a semi elastic tether. Her’s appearance sold.
    2
  3495.  @adamskyj69  Explanation please. Because my time in retail tells me different. If a business decides they don’t want someone’s custom they are perfectly entitled to say so. No explanation needed.
    2
  3496.  @dlpjhapppy9714  Do you think having your human rights is stupid ? Are you happy that the Tories could replace them with rules of their own ?
    2
  3497. if you like.
    2
  3498.  @donnathedead7554  You may find the that the manufacturer found it cheaper to refund than take them back. In that case they would ask for documentation to show they had been dumped. In business it really is buyer beware & the importer could end up trying to claim against people in the supply chain. The prospect of making a quick buck sometime ends up as a loss.

  3499. IR35 although not perfect seems like a good start in stopping people dodging tax.
    2
  3500. @ Definitely reports from the UK. In some areas birds, all captive birds are being kept indoors. There is a report on the net showing four dead swans on one of the major rivers. I have also seen video of dying geese at Stratford upon Avon. Not a pretty sight. Symptoms like mad cow disease.
    2
  3501. Muslims are very big on charity.
    2
  3502. I think people may worry too much about mental health. As a child I copped for an illness ( TB ) which saw me isolated & confined to my bed room for almost a year. It could be that left me with PT growth Syndrome. The opposite of PTDS which allowed me to sail through the lockdowns without a problem.
    2
  3503. Didn’t they send hundreds of missiles & drones to Israel a couple of months back ?
    2
  3504. No defo don’t panic. Panic distorts clear thinking and should be avoided.
    2
  3505.  @paulfenton7776  I am with you. I am not sure he did either.
    2
  3506. I don’t agree.
    2
  3507. The BBC charter along with U.K. law does not allow overseas funding of the BBC.
    2
  3508.  @DaveMuirhead Unfortunately the with the current infrastructure & rainfall increases they just cannot.
    2
  3509.  @DaveMuirhead  I agree. But as some will tell you Brexit freed the U.K. from EU regulations. Which is was the thing wanted from Brexit. Personally I believe Brexit was a mistake.
    2
  3510. It took me just less than a minute before the woman wiping her forehead took me to the stop button.
    2
  3511. Good honest reporting from the BBC.
    2
  3512. The BBC has given the world the see the BS for themselves. To my mind a good thing.
    2
  3513. The right to arms appears to make some people possibly more afraid. We have very limited access to guns in Europe we don’t have the fear either.
    2
  3514.  @ShirleeKnott There wasn’t a last time.
    2
  3515. @ Sorry can’t see a problem. Most Presidents issued pardons. It’s apparently part of the job.
    2
  3516. Nobody makes anyone purchase a TV Licence. Like driving it’s voluntary.
    2
  3517. Auto Trader have a YouTube video out. They ran battery checks on a 340,000 mile Tesla with its original battery. The battery would still hold 80% of its new capacity.
    2
  3518. FEMA are ready getting on with the job. Even our Ron DeSantis has said so.
    2
  3519. Anyone else think MYG would do well on the comedy circuit.
    2
  3520.  @Land-of-reason  I did not suggest that the advisor was anyway competent. Only that an advisor can’t give advice if they are not in the loop.
    2
  3521.  @Land-of-reason  Correct. But worse than that they can be an expensive liability.
    2
  3522.  @SimonBlandford  You implied that there are 20 mph limits on Welsh Motorways. I asked where. You have not answered.
    2
  3523.  @tonymaloan  Parts of the German Autobahns don’t have speed limits. Cruising at 100kph vehicles don’t just pass they shrink into the distance.
    2
  3524. As a motorcyclists I at least like to see that the car driver is looking at me.
    2
  3525.  @schrodingerscat1863  The clowns are very well funded & are backed up by smart lawyers. It’s all on video so the police have to be careful & avoid being led into a trap.
    2
  3526. Nigel is an oik. Would you want hime to join your golf club.
    2
  3527. Little Britain is a TV show.
    2
  3528.  @alisin1dland68  ‘Spank me harder’ plenty of people will do that for you. Sadists will do it for free. But don’t normally know when to stop. Much better to have a save word. Which usually means paying for it.
    2
  3529. You are dead right about that. There may be a shortage of citrus fruit along with increased prices. Perhaps. Expect the tourism tax to rise.
    2
  3530. How many dead did Donald Trump’s handling of Covid leave ?
    2
  3531. Al Jezera are saying much the same as the BBC.
    2
  3532. Labour MPs are normally union sponsored. Tories are usually backed by business.
    2
  3533.  @keithshippey230  The Tories are the reason the unions needed to formed in the first place.
    2
  3534.  @keithshippey230  Your History Degree. Dd you get it from Trump University ?
    2
  3535.  @Titus9508 They are one of my main sources of news. Why, because the U.K. has something OFCOM who can fine or even shut down broadcasters who are dishonest.
    2
  3536. Fox News makes good money. But I am not sure I would trust their coverage.
    2
  3537. ?
    2
  3538. Not sure people agree with that. This one BBC channel alone has over 16,000,000 subscribers.
    2
  3539. President Putin has signed live on TV that the sale of Alaska was illegal. That he will return it to Russian control. Donald Trump says part of Europe should be handed over. Is he on the phone arranging to hand over Alaska ?
    2
  3540. May I ask which god. There are so many.
    2
  3541. Thank you. At least one other Youtube content provider may thinking a little about his output.
    2
  3542.  @oleopathic  President Trump has said on video that Russia he would give President Putin a large chunk of Ukraine in order to stop the war. President Putin also claims the Russia was scammed our the purchase of Alaska. Should Alaska be given back to Russia to save them invading ?
    2
  3543.  @veeaa  President Trump may swop land for not being attacked.
    2
  3544. I see this item as Public Service Broadcasting.
    2
  3545. In the U.K. Health & Safety regs & McDonald’s would not allow him to just work the fryer. Everyone is expected to take & pass the safety training before using it.
    2
  3546. Some poor Russian will be getting it in the neck. He was only supposed to blow the road off.
    2
  3547.  @kat2023.  That is democracy. Like me not quite perfect.
    2
  3548. I don’t find Alex B in anyway appealing.
    2
  3549. The Police had hours even days to set up for the Coronation.
    2
  3550.  @atomiccritter6492  I voted stay. But people called me for it. They mostly said I do not care what it costs. I just wanted the U.K. to have its sovereignty back. Whatever it costs will be worth every penny.
    2
  3551. ULEZ is to do with nitrous oxide & micro particles. Very little to do with carbon dioxide.
    2
  3552. The police have to gather evidence before they can do anything.
    2
  3553.  @stevenbennett6315  Looks like you may not agree with the rule of law.
    2
  3554. Correct you have no idea. Are you one of Trump’s beloved under educated.
    2
  3555.  @Gamingzone00829  Some also claim the is a Man on the Moon.
    2
  3556. it being reported on their TV, Radio & news website.
    2
  3557. Do you have any to report. Now is your chance.
    2
  3558. I don’t know the subject as well as you. Please explain how climate scientists have got it wrong.
    2
  3559. Dead right they don’t. Was ever thus.
    2
  3560. Denying what ?
    2
  3561. Not sure about that. People appear to coming together against the thugs.
    2
  3562. Now charging, interconnection leads & chargers have become standard via an EU law. That appears to have gone worldwide we shouldn’t end up with so much obsolete stuff.
    2
  3563.  @JohnofthefamilySmith  No they did not. President Putin started it with his ‘little green men.’
    2
  3564.  @redditorsSuckCock  Move to Europe were there is much less need to feel afraid. Either from the police or fellow citizens.
    2
  3565.  @marcyeaglecloud7345  I have seen other good reports about Singapore.
    2
  3566. You are correct TESCO need to stop those with criminal intent.
    2
  3567.  @andymccall6861  I make a habit of obtaining a pump receipt. I paid at the pump for years even before Covid. Never had a problem. Can’t see why there is any fuss.
    2
  3568.  @Oxley016  Nothing wrong with keeping down the cost to the taxpayer. But when it comes down to it politicians did not design or build them.
    2
  3569.  @projectedone  Russia agreed that if Ukraine removed nuclear weapons from they would not attack. Ukraine removed the nuclear weapons from their soil & had not attacked Russia even though Putin’s little green men were staging attacks in Ukraine. The little green men even had a hand in taking down a civilian airliner over Ukrainian soil with the loss of all on board. If we want to be charitable put that down to incompetents. Putin is an embarrassment. The Russian people deserve better.
    2
  3570.  @faisafarrah9043 it did not cross Starmer’s desk. So saying Starmer let him off is inaccurate.
    2
  3571.  @TheLOLWHATTTTTTT Don’t you mean the YouTube algorithm.
    2
  3572. If that nice former President Trump would give part of Ukraine to Russia to keep them happy. Would he give part of the US to the cartels to keep them sweet ?
    2
  3573. It’s not !
    2
  3574. Can’t blame Cameron. He advocated staying in the EU. Gave the Brits chance to make a democratic decision.
    2
  3575.  @Fraz-66  Or perhaps walked away. Discussed in the electorate. But I am pleased to see that judging the comments many British are overall pleased with Brexit & don’t seem to be put off by the boats.
    2
  3576.  @ourlittleplotnortheastengl1412 In that case why does the U.S. need to import oil and electricity from Canada ?
    2
  3577. The BBC management should be happy. A Trump win may bring controversy. Which means increasing income.
    2
  3578. Why ?
    2
  3579.  @rallara  The alleged perpetrator cannot be named until his first court appearance.
    2
  3580. Best way for us chaps to meet an Alien. Give the babysitter a lift home. There is a chance you will be abducted on the way home. It will help explain how the lift took so long.
    2
  3581. @Matt_AAABut they haven’t gone in no limits.
    2
  3582. Isn’t a breeder reactor used for making weapons grade material. Electricity just a byproduct ?
    2
  3583.  @jackpayne4658  It’s Europe doing this not the U.K. Government. The French will be carrying out he checks at Dover which will save needing to do them before leaving the port at Calais. We will be checked on the way out as we enter Calais port. The photo & fingerprint are to confirm it’s the same person using the passport. I understand that it will also apply to the rest of the world so not directly to do with Brexit. I have a relation living in Kent. She says the the photos showing long queues of lorries appear to be from a while ago & do not reflect the current state of affairs.
    2
  3584. Even FOX lawyers have stood up in court & as a defence said. Tucker is not news. He is entertainment & everyone knows that.
    2
  3585.  @LuisLondonG Can Vance be blamed for loosing the deal ? Perhaps Mr President had something to do with it.
    2
  3586. How can an international organisation be sad ?
    2
  3587.  @Freedom_nesting  Ex President Trump likes people to be uneducated. That way he can tell them anything & they can’t tell truth from fibs. American dream. Why would I want to live in the US ?
    2
  3588.  @importsstillsuck  Most developed countries have detailed geographical surveys. If the US has them the answer will most likely be in the local library.
    2
  3589.  @markjackson3531  Do you also have a problem using decimal currency ?
    2
  3590. Would it be unusual to hear gunshots in Florida.
    2
  3591.  @hoonaticbloggs5402  You claim that all MPs have shares in energy companies. Where can I go to confirm that ?
    2
  3592. @ Sorry I don’t understand. So I defo can’t see any humour.
    2
  3593.  @puddlestoo1 BBC finished ? You’re having a laugh.
    2
  3594. That so called Spartan rolled over when Kim developed not only nuclear weapons but rockets to deliver them to US soil. Spartan my foot.
    2
  3595. The thing some countries like about the US political system is the way it leads to things often just not getting done. People voting in a way that has politicians too busy fighting among themselves to actually achieve much.
    2
  3596. I don’t agree with your assessment.
    2
  3597. Any chance of that again. But this time in English.
    2
  3598. I don’t believe you.
    2
  3599. I did not see any of the protesters being violent. Plenty of comments by people advocating violence.
    2
  3600. A little bit of porn usually up’s a woman’s man rate.
    2
  3601.  @nickmanning3913  Using someone’s content without permission can become expensive. It’s not at all funny.
    2
  3602. The Christian church he belongs to is in Newcastle but I suppose someone from there could have traveled down to help him. Or perhaps he will be found dead in the Thames.
    2
  3603. aWOKEn to the ills of the world and wishing to combat them is aspirational.
    2
  3604. For me the wrong type of rain is heavy rain that does not have time to soak in. Instead running down the garden & into the lane.
    2
  3605. I is the U.K. ERG that deliberately setting out for their selfish ends that risk the peace in Northern Ireland. Why don’t the Irish get on with it & reunify Reunification worked for Germany. Why not Ireland ?
    2
  3606.  @dabronx340  Due to demographic change the once minority Catholic population of Northern Ireland is now larger than the Protestant. I have been told that U.K. legislation does allow for a Border Poll. When it happens I hope Ireland reunifies. Is it true that the Northern Irish just can’t get on with each other. Can’t even hold their devolved government together. Also that the average British tax payer is feed up of shovelling money into the place & will be glad to see the back of it.
    2
  3607.  @dabronx340  I also hope the situation can be resolved amicably. One plus point is that it would get rid of all the current border complications. Something that had to happen as a direct result of Brexit. The people pushing for Brexit stayed well away from the subject. Those who did say ‘excuse me but’. Were shouted down as being part of Project Fear.
    2
  3608. Does anyone even own a fax these days. I haven’t seen one for years.
    2
  3609.  @The_Cadaver  I have now taken a look. I agree with your conclusion.
    2
  3610.  @MrDwright550 A business have every right to choose who they deal with.
    2
  3611. You are watching main stream media.
    2
  3612. Perhaps study International Law.
    2
  3613.  @James-l5s7k  What on earth has voter reform do to with changing International Law.
    2
  3614. What is the ICC capable of doing in a situation like this ?
    2
  3615.  @raoulduke344 She is far from stupid.
    2
  3616. Many people are interested. So the BBC is doing its job.
    2
  3617. Trump is possibly too embarrassed.
    2
  3618.  @house2homeplus511  The U.S. fought to rid ourselves of a king.
    2
  3619. Sounds quite good under the circumstances.
    2
  3620.  @FrancoSky-i2b  it’s not about watching the BBC it’s a TV licence not a BBC licence. The BBC doesn’t know who holds a licence.
    2
  3621. @ Capita is not owned by the BBC. I am a pensioner. I don’t feel abused by TV Licensing.
    2
  3622.  @Lauriedriver  Yep. You are correct. If you don’t like, don’t watch.
    2
  3623.  @EnglishWithDoberman The USA has Russia just across the Bering Straight. A canoe paddle away. More than that. Alaska used to belong to Russia. President Putin signed a declaration on live TV. Saying the sale to the U.S. was illegal. He has promised the Russians that he is going to get it back.
    2
  3624.  @paulafrazer-campbell4412  The two that I drove as recovery vehicles in the late sixties only had tanks under the drivers seat. ( RHD ) One short, one long wheel base.
    2
  3625. Possibly because he saw what was happening in Afghanistan.
    2
  3626.  @dennisnagel4422  Citizens have their elected representatives.
    2
  3627. It’s alright folks. They only need to keep Trump going for a couple of months.
    2
  3628. I am with you on this one. But I am also a little surprised to see so much apparent paranoia.
    2
  3629. KL always good for a laugh.
    2
  3630. Nothing intrinsically wrong a PlayStation controller. They are apparently used in all sorts of situations.
    2
  3631.  @0IIIIII Possibly because trolls will make a fuss it he did not.
    2
  3632.  @Mike-tb5gj  All more chance of a criminal record. They may need to be vary careful who they recruit.
    2
  3633. Yup. It’s a fact of life.
    2
  3634.  @billsticker  Very true. But to make any sort of reasoned decision you need a grasp of the data.
    2
  3635.  @davidhall4875  I agree with your son. Desalination is incredibly expensive. I understand the UK has had a golden new dawn. But not rich like the gulf states.
    2
  3636. So would you rather not know what’s happening ?
    2
  3637. An employer cannot become involved. There is a risk they could prejudice a trial leading to him walking away scot free. I would not have wanted that.
    2
  3638. Good to see that you feel President Biden has his whits about him. Need a sharp mind to to be a good fibber.
    2
  3639. @ So it’s not a Savile video. But I suppose there is one parallel. It didn’t come out until after he had died.
    2
  3640.  @skyblazeeterno Why on earth would Britain be sending anything by boat. Boats are too slow, open to attack. Rail is a quicker operation.
    2
  3641. It is spread across the population. Children appear to be badly affected.
    2
  3642.  @Caz2020  I believe you have been misinformed. I seem to remember International Courts were the driver. Global Britain is subject to international courts rules.
    2
  3643.  @S1CKB1KEZ  You could well be correct. In that case why are people getting so excited about Social Workers ?
    2
  3644.  @gigabyte2573  Trump just does The Weave that never seems to go anywhere. He just goes on & on.
    2
  3645. Is Donald Trump going to stop those wars ?
    2
  3646. The U.K. government is saying there is a shortage of workers. Would like to get pensioners back to work. If people come to the U.K. to get a job why not get them processed. That way they can be paying tax. Possibly better than spending 18 months hanging around.
    2
  3647.  @kokloketan1177  It’s perfectly legal to seek asylum.
    2
  3648.  @happystarhappystar1477  That is correct. It’s a pity people have to hang around so long awaiting a decision. Them having to wait costs the country money.
    2
  3649.  @happystarhappystar1477  Perhaps they don’t speak French. So many people speak English partly due to the legacy of empire. Why keep them hanging around. Process them either into work paying into the economy or if they have failed get them gone.
    2
  3650.  @happystarhappystar1477  Perhaps they like the idea of the U.K.’s new golden dawn & a health service with money coming out of it’s ears. Much, much better than any EU country. Nigel spread the news. Perhaps have a word with him.
    2
  3651.  @baracuda40  What Covid nonsense. I lost a sister in law. My mate lost his brother in law plus one of fishing clubs member. I know a couple more who ended up in hospital on oxygen. I tested positive for Covid but having had four jabs I only had quite mild symptoms. Did not even need to stay in bed. Just took it easy for a couple of days before staying in for about two weeks.
    2
  3652.  @enixword2637 Russia and North Korea have both announced the troops going to Ukraine. Perhaps they have be telling fib.
    2
  3653. Nigel has a it of a cheek. He encouraged people to vote for Brexit. The U.K. could send people back. But decided to end that by leaving the EU. That’s when numbers crossing shot up. Can’t see why Brits are moaning, they voted for it.
    2
  3654. Yep that is due to happen. Already live at many airports. Due to be in at Calais before the end of the year.
    2
  3655. My nearest retail park have installed 11 chargers as a way to attract customers.
    2
  3656.  @davidbarlow350  You will need to explain what is a TDS ?
    2
  3657.  @davidbarlow350  Why that then ?
    2
  3658.  @missc4079 He did not say anyone had been wrongly convicted.
    2
  3659. Trump’s lies about Springfield have been firmly debunked.
    2
  3660. For the answer to that. Check the contract between you & your supplier.
    2
  3661.  @Del640  I have a couple of UPS units. One of them powers my Wi-Fi during power cuts. It’s a case of. Be prepared.
    2
  3662.  @Del640  I have my own UPS units. Is there anything that stops you having them ? Uninterruptible Power Supply. You plug it into the mains then your equipment into the UPS unit. When the power goes off the power is then drawn from the battery/batteries in the unit. Unfortunate ones big enough to power even small appliance for three hours would be expensive. The 1970s and the rolling cuts in the 1940/50s did not bring life to an end. We adapted.
    2
  3663.  @Del640  You are dead right. That's why I feel it is important to think like a Boy Scout and. 'Be Prepared.'
    2
  3664. Detroit went that way after the car industry moved out. London doesn’t rely on one massive employer.
    2
  3665. Why is LB attacking people and organisations who have aWOKEn to social & racial inequality & are trying to rectify the wrongs.
    2
  3666.  @jakebullet1731  Not quite true. Sky Glass TV now comes via the internet. Not dish or aerial.
    2
  3667. Why should that be mentioned ?
    2
  3668.  @scran7346  All sorts of things of things. More or less anything for a lark. Sounds much like a kid’s crossbow.
    2
  3669. @FGM-dl1ncThis is the BBC. That comment could be coming from the USA. Plenty feel that way.
    2
  3670. @ I trust the BBC more than most other channels. Al Jazeera I also generally trust.
    2
  3671. Is Donald Trump still talking about rewarding Putin for invading Ukraine ?
    2
  3672. Bill Gates is doing his bit.
    2
  3673.  @pessi6185  It’s still time he went home. A thousand days in and struggling. He is beginning to look weak like he made a Big Mistake.
    2
  3674.  @Theneonguy789  Three weeks it was supposed to take. 1000 days. Still bogged down at least shows a massive lack of judgment.
    2
  3675. I would be nice to have the BBC funded out of general taxation. One reason being the current licence systems is wide open to abuse.
    2
  3676. @ You just understand how funny that idea is.
    2
  3677.  @F-om1jx Why not. Many of us know how to handle firearms. Save us from becoming bored.
    2
  3678. What are you on about. The BBC reported possible AZ side effects. Unfortunately early on it was only rumours.
    2
  3679. Too many Tofo-Dreg problems coming to light with Chinese built infrastructure & housing.
    2
  3680.  @myfreespirit58  I used to look under rocks. Don’t need to these days. The trolls come out in the open.
    2
  3681.  @olliereed4206  It certainly has. I remember when Northern Ireland and the Republic had a hard border. Many years ago I met people from Northern Ireland on work courses. They said. Things changed for the better when that border effectively melted away. The border is back. Not with customs posts & watch towers etc but it’s there OK. Is it time for it to melt away again by reversing the partition of Ireland ? The U.K. leaving the EU has brought the border halfway back.
    2
  3682. I am pleased that the BBC are pointing out that Trump and co are treating us like sheep.

  3683.  @MrakS  I agree. But many Brits I have talked to don’t. Think me a fool.
    2
  3684. Look folks we have a conspiracy theorist in the room.
    2
  3685. Perhaps Lo-Bo is aiming to up her man rate.
    2
  3686. The BBC did report those allegations. Mentioned once again here.
    2
  3687. The area grows many salad crops. A lot has been swept away or caked in mud. A lot of productive soil has been swept away.
    2
  3688. People comment about letters from TV Licensing. They are a bit forthright but the only people who need to worry are the cheats. Sorry to say that social media gives the impression that there may be an awful lot of cheats about.
    2
  3689. Nobody is forcing to do anything that requires a licence.
    2
  3690. The news reader spoke in perfectly good English.
    2
  3691. I hope it is not true but I have seen elsewhere on YouTube that Russian now has control of most of the city.
    2
  3692.  @Thurgosh_OG  After seeing other videos. He is the type that gives you Brits a bad name. Defending him, not a good look.
    2
  3693.  @kendunton1  Why are the police being called so often on this guy. We perhaps need mainstream media to investigate.
    2
  3694.  @mbsl275  Who’s silence ?
    2
  3695. I have not so much as entered a strip club. I am pretty sure that the average Brit hasn’t either.
    2
  3696. Best ask YouTube algorithms.
    2
  3697. He could not even. LOCK HER UP.
    2
  3698. Why do some people in the U.S. talk about America almost as though the other countries don’t exit.
    2
  3699. How about getting rid of disabled parking spaces. It would stop these problems.
    2
  3700.  @The_Situation  Well said.
    2
  3701. Why are folks still messing with ICE.
    2
  3702.  @bendikkirkbakk1833 Ukraine did not join NATO. Said we have no intention of joining. Now perhaps think it would have been a good idea to join.
    2
  3703. The fact that a vehicle passes the MOT on emissions does not say it’s OK. It’s the engine spec out of the factory.
    2
  3704. Did he take paper towels ?
    2
  3705. Is one of ASDSs terms & conditions no photos/video in store. By entering a store you are bound by their T&C. If you don’t like them choose to stay out.
    2
  3706.  @paulwalton1222  Could that’s why he has copped for a fine.
    2
  3707.  @paulwalton1222  No points on his license. Because was a passenger. If he had been under 14 years of age the driver could have been fined. Don’t know if a driver would get points in that situation.
    2
  3708. That’s history. The News Cycle has moved on.
    2
  3709. Not at all sure the BBC is actively involved in food production. What they appear to be good at is encouraging clicks, comments & income.
    2
  3710. Are you sure that the Russians aren’t doing their normal feed fake messages of support. Before sitting back laughing. It’s a typical Russian tactic. Blitz a video with fake support then sit back & watch the fun. It’s fun to watch the truckers behaving like headless chickens.
    2
  3711.  @DR07921  I get my info from all over the world. I find the Al Jazeera English language website quite good. Definitely not an echo chamber.
    2
  3712. It had grounded for over a year it has broken free into deeper water. Not expected to ground unless it comes into contact with a shoreline.
    2
  3713. @ I personally don’t find the BBC being negative about China. What did you think of Our Guy in China. But let’s face you do come across a being anti Muslim. Also a friend worked in China for a while. He had a Mongolian friend. Some local men it obvious that they were racist. He defended his friend. Got thrown out of his job and China for it.
    2
  3714. Always remember to secure your helmet.
    2
  3715. Not sure where all those Mosques went. I can only find one in Oxford.
    2
  3716. Is George Glass are you a man of straw ?
    2
  3717.  @georgeglass4105  Not worth suing then.
    2
  3718. Unlike some who seem to take pride in ignorance. Brits like to be informed.
    2
  3719. Isn’t it possible to charge from a 13amp socket.
    2
  3720.  @clivewilliams3661  The attraction was also apparently applying for retrospective planning permission. Which from family experience isn’t going to endear them to the authorities.
    2
  3721.  @philtucker1224  The firm’s young list already have that facility. But even my nearest retail park has eleven chargers.
    2
  3722.  @philtucker1224  Sorry I have said firms on the list already have those vans. No idea where young’s list came from. I have just checked with a friend. Her experience & those of others she knows that have EVs is. They all have come with what she described as ‘a brick’ that can be used to charged from a 13amp socket. She and her significant other can also charge their EVs from the electric sockets on campsites. She has an MG4 but they tow the van with a Tesla. Apparently at least two firms are setup to fit toe bars & electrics to EVs.
    2
  3723. Vote blue all the way stop the Republicans blocking things in one house.
    2
  3724. No we aren’t we can use Dropbox amongst others.
    2
  3725. I am pretty sure the RSPCA would fight that in court. The same as they did with badgers. Badgers & their involvement in the spread of bovine TB lost them that battle.
    2
  3726. What a load of tosh.
    2
  3727.  @MetalAcrean  I don’t live in the US. Just what is CRT ? The net appears to list quite a few different perceptions.
    2
  3728.  @MMMichaelTTT  France is not a NATO country. What else don’t you know about NATO.
    2
  3729. Glaciers are retreating. Reveal things that have been buried.
    2
  3730. That is what has been reported.
    2
  3731. That hasn’t happened.
    2
  3732. The government, state & national are far from negligent.
    2
  3733. Unfortunately there are a lot of undereducated about. Many people can’t work it out for themselves.
    2
  3734. The BBC are gaining subscribers, clicks, comments & shares. The BBC are on a winner.
    2
  3735. @flippy5118 Only needs a tweak in the law for ISP’s to hand over that info. Anti terror legislation requires them to hold that info for 5 years.
    2
  3736.  @sambrooks7862  About 10% of the staff but very few of the customers wear masks in my nearest ASDA. There is a city not far away. A large number of students appear to be from the far east. Many of them wore masks even before Covid. Perhaps they had outbreaks of SARS in their home countries.
    2
  3737. I have just tried using an inch of toothpaste. I believe The Damage Report boys have been caught out by a massive leg pull. It has left me wondering. Just how much fact checking they carry out on any of their stories.
    2
  3738. Under international law Global Britain cannot do that. As part of the EU you could send some back. You voted that away.
    2
  3739.  @dalecrocker3213 Are you suggesting that people in the streets should be stopped and searched on a massive scale.
    2
  3740. There is going to be an investigation. That will determine accident or not. So let’s not jump the gun.
    2
  3741. @ I don’t agree with any of that but I respect your right to an opinion.
    2
  3742. Am I wrong in thinking that facial recognition software is used worldwide in shopping malls etc. Anyone who is not wanted is asked to leave by security. If they don’t leave they become trespassers.
    2
  3743. Why ? It’s all good copy.
    2
  3744. Too late it’s out of the bag.
    2
  3745.  @MonuSharma-nz2pf  What tosh. I don’t know where you heard that from but. You best go back and say. Excuse me but.
    2
  3746.  @MonuSharma-nz2pf  Which war are you on about. At least give me a clue. Sorry to disappoint you but being able to write in English does not make me American.
    2
  3747. I am not outraged.
    2
  3748. We normally visit Catalonia a couple of times a year. A lot of the posters & ribbons are beginning to look very tattered. They are a bit off putting & making the place look untidy. Sooner they have all gone the better.
    2
  3749. No.
    2
  3750. The BBC bosses were appointed by the Conservatives. So hardly likely to be communist. I am not aware that the U.K. see China as an enemy.
    2
  3751. By modern standards the raid & its civilian casualties could qualify as a war crime.
    2
  3752. @ You may as read that. I suppose it’s as good as anything for predicting the future.
    2
  3753. I trust the BBC way more than social media.
    2
  3754. Innocent until proven guilty.
    2
  3755. Hundreds of million tons of aluminium sprayed out each year. Where is it supposed to come from ?
    2
  3756. Yep. Been there done that. Didn’t really look out between the tunnel and Brussels either,
    2
  3757. You may find that will effect your Insurance cover. That could be just the start of your troubles.
    2
  3758. She is a news reader. Not a journalist.
    2
  3759. Because enough people voted for her.
    2
  3760. That’s how it’s spelled in the U.K. US tire U.K. tyre.
    2
  3761.  @truthbtold8697  Biden has not said that. Why on earth would he.
    2
  3762.  @andyetheridge  Some if not many of them may head for the U.K. it may be easier keeping people behind a fence than stoping them crossing The Channel.
    2
  3763. How on earth can England be stealing Scotland’s water.
    2
  3764. @Traitor Trumpy Bear I heard that that was the police responding to a report of their antics. Is that not right ?
    2
  3765. @Traitor Trumpy Bear We could only see the gunnel of the camera boat so it’s impossible to know from the vid if it’s a police boat or not. How could they have just stopped them without a danger of injury or worse. Possibly leading to claims against the police.
    2
  3766.  @notatrollbutanorceacenato4782  Sorry mate not true. Over 30% of U.K. households are due to fall into fuel poverty.
    2
  3767. Don’t need it from MSM. Plenty for all on YouTube.
    2
  3768. The driver does not make the rules or laws that cover his job. Breaking rules & laws can lead to a loss of that job.
    2
  3769.  @darrensmith4279  Reading minds gain ?
    2
  3770.  @tonysherwood9619  Yep. It was a good lark. Fife Robinson was a character. Bit of a leg puller. Wasn’t the also something about a liquorice harvest as well ?
    2
  3771.  @richardmoores  Little things please little minds.
    2
  3772. Plus a copy for the NHS where he spent much more time. Even reportedly had keys & his own bedroom in some of their hospitals.
    2
  3773. Jihad can mean many things. What are yo alluding to ? Why on earth should a multi national news agency be weeping.
    2
  3774. We could vote to pay more Council Tax in order to provide the police with extra resources.
    2
  3775. No.
    2
  3776.  @robertscotton5882  Who is this ‘they’.
    2
  3777.  @rayb.6537  You don’t have to. Sometimes it’s best to lack knowledge.
    2
  3778. Not sure less than £40 per month to cover clothing etc is going to leave much over for the high life.
    2
  3779. Because if the U.S. sneezes the U.K. goes down with the flue.
    2
  3780. What’s to be sad about ?
    2
  3781.  @DankyKang96  Do you mean treating the Mayor like a villain when his in office through the democratic process.
    2
  3782. aWOKEn to the ills of the world & having a desire to combat them. That sounds inspirational.
    2
  3783. Brits party to blame. Used to be able to send people back into the EU under the Dublin Agreement. That agreement lapsed at Brexit. People can no longer be sent back. The smugglers must have thought all their Christmases had come at once. That along with along with the coming Golden Dawn is one of Brexit’s benefits.
    2
  3784. The BBC seem to be falling over backwards to give Nigel Farage airtime.
    2
  3785. Handled properly there is no reason that should not be the case.
    2
  3786. I have been told by a group of Central Belt Scots why they don’t like the English. They claimed the the English had sent first the Romans & then the Vikings to attack them. I said England did not exist until the Vikings had been kicked out. They did not believe me. I said check the history books. Their reply. History books were written by the English & are total lies.
    2
  3787. I started riding/driving before a national speed limit MOT etc. It came a a bit of a blow when we could no longer legally ride/drive at over 70mph.
    2
  3788.  @steriskyline4470  Can’t see how Robert is wrong.
    2
  3789.  @ebg100  Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps the U.K. should go with that. The current U.K. system seems so open to abuse. Many people even post things like :- Haven’t had a licence for years but it does not stop my TV from working.
    2
  3790.  @MikeEves  I have a distinct feeling that you don’t really know the ins & outs surrounding the TV licence. You seem confused.
    2
  3791. I have a feeling that Ukraine did not issue planing permission for Russia to build that bridge.
    2
  3792. Sorry to have to say this but. Communism does have some advantages.
    2
  3793.  @traveltectours6561 Trump is not a genius. Says he is but history says no.
    2
  3794. Police have to find out it’s happening. Assemble a team & reach the scene before that can do anything.
    2
  3795. Anyone else notice that this is video is from 7 years ago.
    2
  3796. If you talking about the BBC presenter. She is using Received Pronunciation. Makes me wonder if your first language may be far from English.
    2
  3797. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
    2
  3798. Plenty of reporting about Pakistan on the BBC.
    2
  3799. The Donald says he is going to stop wars. I wish him the best of luck in Africa.
    2
  3800. The RE Continental GT Cup. Is proper racing. In some ways reminded of the Yamaha LC Series.
    2
  3801. Sorry. Don’t believe you.
    2
  3802. I have watched Chilli JC on a number of occasions. He could be seen as anti BBC. His advice seems to revolve around. Stop paying the TV licence. Ignore letters asking about you licensing needs & if anyone comes to the door enquiring about your lack of license just tell them to go away. I have wondered about iPlayer. You need to log into use it. Meaning the system knows who you are. Every now and then iPlayer asks you to confirm that you have a licence. With location services on your device you are confirming where you are. Could this lead to an automated fine system. Could internet connected TVs also be used to pinpoint non payment ?
    2
  3803. California does appear to be experiencing a changing climate.
    2
  3804. Anyone who has daughters knows they can be the pits.
    2
  3805. Yep. They are good. But not so keen on the vegetarian option.
    2
  3806.  @GuylaineLauniere One less mouth to feed.
    2
  3807.  @AaliyahFictional  Jesus is not a god he is a prophet. The same as Mohamed is a prophet.
    2
  3808. Trump is all mouth.
    2
  3809. Not in mine !
    2
  3810.  @steveball2835  2019b census shows Scotland's population as aprox 5,500.000
    2
  3811. In essence it’s no different to me telling someone to take their lawnmower back.
    2
  3812. Some people are laughing at the: US.
    2
  3813.  @blushingviolet5928 If they are live streaming it could be. Go straight to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200.
    2
  3814.  @practicalguy973  Not silent in Europe. There they are required to have an audible warning up to about 15mph.
    2
  3815. I am straight, White & happy.
    2
  3816. Not ‘easily’ transmitted to humans. We need to be prepared incase it becomes easily transmitted.
    2
  3817. Not made up for by a nice gun rack.
    2
  3818.  @brianpotter3870  The Scottish Government’s data.
    2
  3819.  @arealscotsman  The point is that 20mph limits have worked to cut accidents. Perhaps because people are driving at 25 rather than 35.
    2
  3820.  @curiositycloset2359 That appears to have worked for me & the people round me.
    2
  3821. A few people have left the BBC reportedly stating that they had become tired of sticking to the BBC’s impartiality rules. Had moved to other stations that don’t have those rules. The BBC are stuck because being impartial is in their charter. I believe the rule has been there for over 100 years.
    2
  3822.  @nightshiftblues  I am just this guy. Nobody important.
    2
  3823. I don’t remember any such promise.
    2
  3824. Poor old Nigel. Once more a victim.
    2
  3825.  @ZootYoot  Dinner on time is really important. But if you think that’s funny, glad you have been amused.
    2
  3826.  @Brimstoneandfire They do.
    2
  3827.  @finished111 The rumours are only in your head.
    2
  3828.  @joemiller9931  Not on the video I have just rewatched. The perps car had not even stopped at that stage.
    2
  3829. He apparently dose not hate the U.K. He along with many US citizens especially the Irish Americans distrust the U.K. over their behaviour surrounding Brexit. Who can blame them ?
    2
  3830.  @Sunrise9696-v2z  What’s wrong with removing Churchill’s statue. He was not American. Why was it there in the first place ?
    2
  3831. This replacement video has been put out because the original misnamed one of the buildings.
    2
  3832.  @dannnmerkle7930  No it not a joke. I have been in hotels over much of Western Europe. I have not come across a sprinkler system.
    2
  3833. Perhaps he will go at the next election. The voters will decide.
    2
  3834. Guns keep us safe.
    2
  3835. Don’t know where your information has come from but. It is incorrect.
    2
  3836.  @cherylemmanuel744  But the bank will not give a reason. The ex-customer needs to make one up.
    2
  3837. @ Tosh. There would need to be a lot more than that.
    2
  3838. @ Yep. People get arrested for doing so.
    2
  3839.  @adenwellsmith6908 Why ?
    2
  3840. How did the BBC shit on this. Please explain.
    2
  3841.  @Pink-Gin  Sounds like very good advice. Could save lives.
    2
  3842. The BBC like all international journalists are not allowed in Gaza at all. Let alone to conduct investigations.
    2
  3843. But don’t other reports claim that lockdowns should have come sooner. Keeping people away from what was a runaway virus. Lockdowns did not come fast enough for my late sister in law.
    2
  3844. Haggis !
    2
  3845. Europe not feeling obliged to buy US would be great for their defence industry.
    2
  3846. Solar farms buy them. Used as load balancers.
    2
  3847. Not last year.
    2
  3848. Why would Elon bother about Tesla. He has the USA.
    2
  3849. Choose your god. Hindus have about ten major gods before you take the others into account.
    2
  3850. Which God ?
    2
  3851.  @explorer47422  Yep. I have not seen or heard anything either.
    2
  3852. All former Presidents have official protection.
    2
  3853. I am not at all sure that most men dislike him.
    2
  3854.  @popcorn9497 The BBC like other outlets keep putting out Malaysia Airlines reports. As far as Ocean Gate goes. We have heard all the is to hear.
    2
  3855.  @dylan120190  Playing Snuff recordings would be in bad taste. Pretty sure that it would breach YouTube’s terms and conditions.
    2
  3856.  @patricias5122 You are dead right on that.
    2
  3857. I did not realise they could handle chainsaws.
    2
  3858.  @flahartyc23  Sorry sunshine. I can’t even have any influence on the world two hundred years ago. When it comes to thousands of years I don’t give a monkey’s. You can get yourself all wound usu if you wish. I follow the the philosophy of Alfred E Newman saying. It boils down to. What me worry. As far as fighting goes it happens throughout the animal kingdom. It also happens with plants when they try to outcompete each other. It’s the way nature works. Humans are nothing too special. Just the ape that got lucky for a while during the lifespan of the planet.
    2
  3859. Look around no one seems to give a sh1t about the climate. More or less everyone expects business as usual. Let’s just enjoy the party while it lasts
    2
  3860.  @christopheradams6980 Anyone stop is required to provide ID. No need for explanation.
    2
  3861. It’s the law. Get over it.
    2
  3862.  @xenorac  No I would not have agreed that slavery is OK. Your comment could be taken as an insult. Sticks & stones may break my bones but insults just wash over me.
    2
  3863. Desalination plants cost a bob or to build. Very expensive to run. Would people be happy having to pay more for water. A cheaper option could be to make sure everyone is on a meter. A water meter has lead me to reduce consumption.
    2
  3864. Parts of the U.K. have started planning managed retreat.
    2
  3865. Of course they are the U.K. voted to leave the EU & with it the Dublin Agreement. No longer being able to send people back may have something to do with the increase. The U.K. has a bit of a cheek complaining about something they voted for.
    2
  3866. To say that him becoming PM is super undemocratic proves she does not understand the U.K. Theirs is not Presidential system. There are democratic votes for members of Parliament. If one party has a large enough majority they form the Government. Their Members of Parliament then choose a leader. But he does not actually become Prime Minister until he/she has the blessing of The King. This had not happened at the time of recording.
    2
  3867. What are the final hours like for someone dying of bird flu ? I have seen video of geese dying on the River Avon, Stratford upon Avon, England. The symptoms were just like B.S.E. ( Mad Cow Disease )
    2
  3868. I don’t agree with your assessment.
    2
  3869. How is running on like that going to win friends & influence people ?
    2
  3870. Smaller profit to be made from people who don't get sick.
    2
  3871. Half a century ago I had sympathy for Israel. That sympathy has evaporated. Because Israel has taken the mick for so many years. My sympathy is now leans towards the Palestinians.
    2
  3872. Us humans survived for thousands of years. Perhaps kids will be able to play football in the streets like I did as a lad. Before the streets were full of parked cars.
    2
  3873. I am an old person. I have not refused to pay for a licence. But perhaps transfer the cost to general taxation like they do in some other countries.
    2
  3874.  @brendancoburn427 But it’s not 4,000 miles you can see one from the other. The good lady & I have been there.
    2
  3875.  @allygilmour6182  Why not just deal with the letters. The TV Licence people are charged with keeping the register up to date. They can’t do their job without feedback.
    2
  3876.  @srp01983  It is Capita’s job. An outsourcing company working on behalf of the Government. I am pretty sure that money goes to the Government. Not directly to the BBC.
    2
  3877.  @naynay-fi7iv Don’t make me mad.
    2
  3878. @ Social media has a worse reputation.
    2
  3879. @ Some who is stuck. Can perhaps only come out with insults.
    2

  3881.  @J5X7  You are relying on second hand options. Some of them perhaps not as honest. As they might. Too many having opinions on something they admit they don’t watch or listen to. The BBC aim to be balanced. Too right wing for some, too left for others.

  3903. Is it correct that aircraft have flown into the airport only to leave less than half full because people can’t get into the airport. The Taliban have also reportedly said they won’t let Afghans to leave. So how many of his staff will they let onto the airport. Just because someone says “I can get my people and animals onto the airport.” Does not mean the Taliban will allow it to happen. He mentioned a car being flown out. Did the Brits fly it out ? He did not claim they did. If they did not he has no basis for argument.

A bunch of people who apparently don’t believe in democracy are taking deliberate action to try to stop it. Up to all sorts of antics inc. criminal damage to cameras & infrastructure. Plus throwing things at and hitting people. Seems things have reached a stage when it’s impacting on everyday policing. Which is one of the reasons some claim London crime is climbing.

That we are being lied to by the people who say it’s round. I don’t think it’s flat but they an entitled to their opinion. Some did complain about the BBC giving them time. But i feel it’s overall a good thing that it got discussed openly rather than remaining on conspiracies sites. My opinion of The Flat Earth Society is that they don’t necessarily believe their own claims but are after clicks and notoriety.

Anyone who is willing to perhaps ride hundreds of miles to camp in a field at all times of year isn’t likely to be a miserable sod.

    1
  4028.  @trueriver1950  They have a contract that requires them to keep checking.
    1
  4029.  @trueriver1950  Their contacting people is perfectly lawful. The law apparently requires them to keep a check on a properties TV licence status. If a property has a licence no need to check. I can’t change anything.. You and I could keep going round in circles & it won’t make a blind bit of difference. Laws come from Parliament so perhaps talk to your MP about it. When contacting you MP you need to bring up only one subject at a time. In order for them to reply you will need to be on the Electoral Register in their constituency. Which requires you to supply name & address inc post code. If you meet those conditions they are under obligation to reply. I usually email my MP. I receive an automated reply saying message received I will get back to you. Normally get a full reply within two weeks. If it’s something that comes up a lot & they have an answer you may receive what is basically a personalised form email . But your MP’s office will have logged your concern. If enough people contact the MP on a subject they may try to raise it in The House. But I must say that I don’t think TV Licences are at the top of the Government’s agenda. I am not happy with the temporary 70mph National Speed limit that came in the mid 60’s is still in place. Not only in place but the original 70mph limit keeps being tightened up.
    1
  4030. I don’t get letters ref. the TV licence. Maybe because I have a licence. I don’t receive letters about the other things you mentioned. Probably because the law does not require them. Whatever us groundlings think about TV licensing I don’t see it making a blind bit of difference. So I am not going to bang my head against the wall over it.
    1
  4031.  @geoffhaylock6848  OK you have got me. I have a second home. One of them has a TV licence so is correctly licensed. The other which is for the occasional overnight does not have a TV or even broadband. That property does not have a licence because it does not need one making it also correctly licensed. An occasional letter does arrive there. I reply & don’t hear again for a while. The letters are a bit forthright possibly to encourage any licence cheats to do the right thing. Some people even say things like I haven’t had a licence for years but it does stop my TV working. Actually admitting to being a cheat & broadcasting the fact. To the question do you I see the difference. Yes I do. Some things don’t need to be checked on a regular basis some don’t. I have a question for you. Will ever get past posting juvenile comments ?

  4032.  @trueriver1950  Looks like you & I may need to settle with. We don’t agree. You feel the letters suck. I think it’s unfortunate that they are needed.

  4033.  @geoffhaylock6848  I can’t rent a plane or even a car without producing a license. Same for buying a gun or or even cartridges. Out fishing a bailiff will check if the fisher has the correct paperwork. Lots of other things are checked via automatic numberplate recognition cameras. I suppose we could have something that shows what people are watching. It would save unpleasantness.

  4034.  @geoffhaylock6848  The detector vans worked when we had CRT TVs. Not the modern TVs. I have not seen one for perhaps decades. I have not seen anything that convinces me they are still out there. The only thing that I have seen on those general lines are DVLA vans that drive around estates while their NPR cameras log vehicles that are parked on the road without tax or valid insurance.

  4035.  @GodMother.  My wife & I own two properties. One has a TV, internet connected computers & tablets were we watch or recorded live programs plus BBC iPlay. It is correctly licensed. By the fact we have a licence for that property. The other property is also correctly licensed because. No TV no broadband so we don’t watch or record live TV or BBC iPlayer. We don’t have a licence for that property because at the moment we don’t need one. We every now and then there is a check to see if circumstances have changed. Checking that the property is still correctly licensed. It’s done as part of Capita’s job. The letters make it clear that if the property is incorrectly licensed we may incur a financial penalty. Which is a good thing. That way people can have no excuse for not being correctly licensed. The letters we receive don’t presume we are watching. You appear to be receiving different letters so I can’t comment on yours. In some ways I would like our National Broadcaster to be funded out of a charge on phone & broadband bills. Perhaps a premium on electricity bills or out of general taxation like it is in many other countries. That is something that would save a lot of faff. On the up side the U.K. licence system does give a choice. With that choice anyone who isn’t correctly licensed deserves a fine.
    1
  4036.  @carolevans5285  They are only effectively doing the equivalent of checking that a vehicle has valid road fund licence & insurance. They are just checking to see if a property is correctly licensed. A vehicle’s status is checked automatically by ANPR cameras. Sky Glass TV logs what you watch & when. The U.K. appears to be one of the few places with an option to pay, not pay towards it’s National Broadcaster. This option seems to upset some people. Perhaps it’s time the cost came out of say general taxation.

  4084. The Southern Border is still under Trump era laws. President Biden is bringing in laws to address the Trump failure. Let’s not forget the fentanyl problem was created by a US drug company.
    1
  4085.  @kiwiwelch3620  A US pharmaceutical company did that when they pushed fentanyl as the go to pain killer.. At the time not mentioning how addictive it is. It’s totally unfair to blame either party.
    1
  4086.  @maybebabyny  Are you really sure about that ? Being involved in the production, supply of illegal drugs often results in a death sentence. Plus if found guilty don’t expect an appeal process. If convicted dead within hours.
    1
  4087.  @artcarrasco9  Oh no you can’t blame JB. President Biden did not manufacture & push what is a highly addictive drug. Big Pharmaceutical did that.

  4093.  @skate7destroy1  Trump agreed to Afghan withdrawal. Then left it to Biden to pick up the pieces. The Southern Border is being policed under beefed up Trump laws. Putin invaded Ukraine in the same way that Hitler invaded Poland starting WW2. I take it you are not a Christian because you are advocating walking on by while a bully beats up a nation. If you claim to be Christian time to be ashamed of yourself. More jobs under Biden. The list of his administration goes on. But you don’t appear to know much of the country or would not spout such BS. Or perhaps you are a Russian troll.

  4095.  @rpwbass  Fentanyl. According to some reports most of it coming is being carried by US citizens who have gone south hoping to make a profit. That the problem started because a U.S. drug company pushed its use without disclosing how addictive it is. Again done to maximise profit. Speaking as a groundling I don’t think big pharmaceutical give a thought to us. They are just after making bucks.

Checking that a driver can afford £1.00 before going on to dispense say £66.00 which won’t be covered is just daft. The max ASDAs pumps will dispense at one go is £99.00 can’t see any problem them checking if that is available. With the new check value the there is less chance of the person buying fuel going overdrawn. Which is a bonus.

  4188.  @acecolnaco6587  The Falkland War was four decades ago. Britain could not do the same thing now because there is no longer the capability. It took a fleet of Victor tankers to allow just one Vulcan to overfly the Falklands. Britain could not do that anything like that these days. No longer even have Harrier jets. They may even be loosing out with Airbus. Some parts are I believe still made in Britain. But how long before the manufacturing is taken into the EU ? Britain now very much an also ran. Nuclear weapons are only good for WW3 & that will most likely be over in a flash or two. So not much use other than a deterrent.

Took us out of what we had been told is the nasty, nasty EU. Which took us out of the Dublin. That’s when numbers started to go through the roof. We are now global Britain. Subject to the full force of International law. About 70 million people among nearly 8 billion. The BBC, Red Arrows etc do there best but we are just a spec on the globe. I suppose we do have the Golden Dawn & the health service with money coming out of it’s ears to be thankful for. Yes this line is sarcasm.

Also they are not proofing themselves useless if the wind is blowing & they are’t turning. Like a gas turbine generator they can be switched off when not needed. Unlike coal they also don’t sometimes have toxic ash ponds. People don’t develop black lung mining coal. They also don’t involve mountain top removal or abandoned mines. & contaminated water.

  4249.  @ClarinoI  I am a bit surprise when people complain about temporary speed limits going on a bit long. Up until December 1965 the U.K. did not have an overall speed limit. That is when HMGov brought in a 70mph overall speed limit. Over half a century later there is still nowhere on U.K. roads that you can exceed 70mph. How is that for a temporary limit. The same was said back then 70mph can trigger queues. I used to work on big Healey, Jags etc. Pieces of road were we often tested at 80/90mph or more are now 50 or 60 limits. I have waited but the 1965 temporary limit is still to be lifted. My experience of temporary speed limits on motorways is generally positive. I used to travel up the M40 turning right up the M42 to Tamworth. Before they brought in the flexible speed limit I could sometimes queue to get off the M40. All the way to the M6 Toll it would be 70mph until the motorway came to a halt. Then often crawling along at 10/20 mph for a couple of miles. Possibly because of the stop start nature we sometimes needed to skirt round tail enders. Holding us up even more. I felt a bit dubious about the variable speed limits coming in. But it turned out OK. Yes at times we cruised along at 50mph but no more stop starts. Very few accidents. It saved me a good ten minutes in the morning the same at night. I still ride & drive. About 2k per month. Yes sometimes I wonder why a temporary limit is there. But even more about a temporary 70mph overall limit on all roads that did not already have a limit is still there after half a century.

  4323.  @my3dviews Same when ICE vehicles started. My late grandfather remembered the first car in the village. Apparently everyone thought they would never replace horse, ponies, dog carts etc. Horses were something everyone knew about. Knew nought about internal combustion engines. EV’s have one advantage over the original ICE. Electricity is fairly easy to come by. Not so for fuel for the first ICE vehicles.
    1
  4324.  @my3dviews  My point was. Everyone who purchased an original ICE, steam or EV risked exactly the same thing. Plenty of steam cars, lorries etc at the turn of the 19/20 the centuries. Even at least one fleet of EV buses in London, England in the early 19th century.
    1
  4325.  @my3dviews  What goes around tends to come around. Plus there hasn’t been another major move for about 100 years. I have been told that many U.K. cities now have a large proportion of EV buses. Reportedly to cut down on vehicle emissions in urban areas. My U.K. contact claims he hasn’t heard anything about any major EV bus failures in his local city.

  4333.  @kotw2003  Again misinformed. License not needed to own just a TV, tablet, smartphone, desktop or games console etc. It’s down to what you use them for. What someone uses them for is optional. Apparently nobody is forced to do anything that needs a license. I have just learned something else. The court does not have jail as a sentence option. Non payment of fines is usually dealt with by attachments to benefits or earnings. The court contacts your employer who is obliged to send a proportion of your pay directly to the court. Anyone on benefits will have part of the money sent onto the court.

People who don’t like others who have aWOKEn can leave the impression they may have fascist tendencies.

  4376. Why is everyone becoming exited with the U.K. Government about this. It’s Europe, they want to know who is coming & going from the Free Movement area. The U.K. government are allowing the French to set up checks in Dover rather than have the checks made after arrival at Calais. We will have to go through them again when we exit the Free Movement area. Those checks will happen in Calais. I believe the same checks will happen to anyone arriving from anywhere else in the world. They are requiring photo & finger print from anyone entering & leaving. It’s not the U.K. requiring this & because the rest of the world is involved apparently nothing to do with Brexit.

  4377.  @timelwell7002  Please explain how any of my comment could be seen as conspiracy theory ? The great British public voted for this. I envisioned trouble ahead only to be told I was part of Project Fear. We voted to leave in 2016. We made or bed & now have to lay in it. Is it time we learned to stop moaning & instead do our best to make the best of a bad job. One thing that does not help is the inaccurate information in videos like this one. It talks about the U.K. gov running the new biometric passport, fingerprint & facial recognition photo system. Claiming the U.K. gov would make a mess of it. It is not the U.K. gov it’s the French who will run it as part of their established immigration post at Dover.

One of their mates worked a a music venue. Helped the girls to reach the dressing rooms. Helping them to notch up further conquests. One small group of girls made plaster casts of celebrities ‘equipment’ they showed them off. Even getting on TV. The coming of AIDS put an end to groupies.

There is or has been a website called Optical Turnkey they are/were very anti ULEZ but I kept an eye on the number of subscribers. They had fewer than 18k so not a great amount of support.

The E Type was launched 1959 top speed 150mph at a time the M1 ran from Crick to Watford. Austin Healy ran a course entitled Safety Fast. There were the motorcycle Ton Up Boys. ( Ton = 100mph ) the National Speed Limit coming in in the mid 1960a slowed things down considerably.

  4485. Passing an MOT doesn’t effect the vehicle’s EURO rating. That EURO rating is what makes a vehicle ULEZ compliant or not. A vehicle could fail a MOT on emissions but it would not affect its EURO rating because that’s fixed
    1
  4486.  @stevethe3060  As I said a vehicle can fail it’s MOT on emissions But that does not change it’s EURO rating. The EURO rating is fixed. What comes out of the exhaust changes with time. Also different councils can use different EURO ratings for the emissions charge zones. Last time I looked on their council websites Birmingham & Bath had different EURO rating requirements. So it’s perhaps a good idea to check local requirements before driving to any city or large town.
    1
  4487.  @stevethe3060  As an extra thought I suppose that all vehicles could be tested as they enter a ULEZ to see if they still comply with their EURO rating. Would that make you happy ?

  4557.  @zibbezabba2491  True the people on the boats usually throw away their paperwork. They know that under international law we can’t send them back to their original country without being able to prove where that is. We need to process them in order to keep tabs on them. One day, once they are allowed to start work they will also start paying tax. Do you think it would be better if they were allowed to reach land & possibly just ‘disappear’.
    1
  4558.  @noelward8047  How does someone who has ‘disappeared’ claim benefits ?
    1
  4559.  @zibbezabba2491  In international water they can’t be touched by Border Force. The RNLI can rescue them & drop them off we’re we know are. If they enter U.K. water we are stuck with them. Can’t legally remove them without due process. About the last thing I want the government to do is let them in unregistered. There would be an upside to that. If someone is unregistered they can’t claim benefits. Not sure anybody can live comfortably on benefit. Plus the system nowadays is set up to really push people into work. The U.K. is apparently short of workers. Anyone willing to work is OK in my book. What makes you claim the government have been dishonest about the number arriving ?
    1
  4560.  @zibbezabba2491 Why is there a reported shortage of labour in the U.K. We are stuck with international law as it is ref. people coming across the channel. I and I suspect many other people would like to hear your legal route out of the situation. For the record I am not in favour of all these folks coming over the channel. I just recognise the legal situation & as I see it we are stuck with trying to make the best of what is less than an ideal situation.
    1
  4561. @No one! The RNLI are actually saving tax payers money. Border Force would need vastly greater resources because they have to wait until they are in U.K. waters before they can apprehended them. Much better the RNLI ‘rescue’ them in order that the boat people don’t just disappear up beaches. It’s a personal thing but I feel that it is perhaps better to have at least some form of documentation for the arrivals. We are bound by international law so all we can do is make the best of a less than ideal situation. For the record I am not in favour of people just coming uninvited across the channel.

    1
  4563.  @lesigh1749  The way I understood it was that the people of whom you speak of did not arrive in Australia. They were boat people who were intercepted at sea. Australia had somewhere to to take them. The U.K. does not. Nowhere on the Mainland Europe or Ireland is willing to accept them. I did not claim that the smugglers were getting people to swim. But it is possible to swim to the U.K. from France. Some people have achieved a round trip. Has anyone ever reached Australia by swimming ?
    1
  4564.  @lesigh1749  I don’t support what is happening now. But the U.K. is apparently very short of workers. If people are actually making an effort to reach the U.K. wanting to work could that be a good thing. But for those they don’t need it looks like they may be be forming a relationship with a sub Saharan African country to take the overflow.

  4600. It’s in some ways a good thing that the police have to hang around to be sure that people are committing an arresteble offence. Not just being a bit slow crossing the road.

  4632. The Brits have a history of apparently having it in for the Irish. Exporting potatoes to England while the Irish starved. One of the reasons so many Irish emigrated to the US. Let’s face it Brexit really was shooting yourself in the foot.

  4714. I receive a letter checking if the property needs a license about once a year. Which I reply to. The licence people are charged with keeping the record up to date. Many things could have happened in a year. An annual check seems fine to me.
    1
  4715.  @Alanhock75  I am also a pensioner. I get a letter about once a year. I understand the fact that the TV licence people are charged with keeping a properties licence status up to date. If a property does not need a licence then it’s correctly licensed. But they do need to know that. If you don’t answer they are obligated to keep asking.

  4734.  @tristanmorgan852  I don’t know if it happens as on a regular basis but. Decades ago I and every other vehicle got stopped on an A road into the local city. Apparently there had been an burglary with violence. The police were looking for the goods & the perps. I & everyone else stopped let the police look in & around our vehicles. I had a number of tools in the boot including screwdrivers, pinch bars, hacksaw etc. This apparently could be seen as ‘Going equipped’ The police suggested I take the tools out when I arrived home & in future only had the tools there when either going to or coming from a job. I did not get nicked. Partly because they did not have time for the paperwork. Partly possibly due to my attitude toward the police. Don’t know if it works for everyone but I have found that being open & honest with them will stand you in good stead.
    1
  4735.  @tristanmorgan852  As long as you are innocent that is true. But we have voted in people partly to make laws that help order society. We should not complain when they do what we have democratically voted for. Personally I think we have voted in the Tories for too long. But I also have to recognise that they got in with an increased majority at the last General Election.

  4738. These biometric passports, finger print & photo checks are going to happen at all entry points to the European open boulder zone. The French are being allowed to set checks up at Dover allowing them to happen before vehicles enter the ferry waiting areas. Would most of us prefer that the checks happened in France before people could leave the port of Calais ? Rest areas on motorways leading to Calais have been shut for years. Their entrances closed of with large concrete blocks. The French closed them because people used them to gain access to lorries or even hassle car/van drivers for a lift to the U.K. How up to date are the photos showing queues. They could be years old.

  4791.  @jamespaterson4834  Yep.
    1
  4792. Why ?
    1
  4793. The BBC is not funded by direct taxation. There is a licence system but none are forced to do,anything that needs a licence.
    1
  4794. The fact that maintenance will be required doesn’t stop the unloading/placing of containers being automated. Happens elsewhere in the world so why not here.

  4795. This may have come with the barge. Nobody has been ill so they did not bring it with them.

  4796.  @nelliedownsouth2316  I have not said that. The same as I can’t claim U.K. citizens don’t carry illness when they travel abroad.
    1
  4797.  @nelliedownsouth2316  The U.K. anti vax movement movement does not help. Their influence is leaving the U.K. open to all sorts that can arrive through normal international travel. If it’s to believed the south east is vulnerable to a measles outbreak that could spread due to a low vaccination rate.

  4800. A large majority of people are being a bit negative. It is a great opportunity to check Long Term effect of the current radiation on youngsters. I am sure that the troops commander would not send them into the exclusion area without dosemeters. The troops will I am sure be monitored for the next five decades or more. It could be twenty/twenty five years or so before excess cancer rates start to appear. The results should be very interesting.

  4801.  @brentgarbett5306  No. It seems ideal to start a long term study. It’s too good an opportunity to miss. Do you think we should not learn anything from it ?

  4802.  @PeTer-xd8nx  I did at that age. In the 1950s I had a .410 shotgun for my fourteenth birthday. Also been on the range with 303 rifles. My father & his friends owned shotguns & rifles. The US appears to have a gun culture were even someone or fifteen should know exactly what they are doing.

  4831.  @midimusicforever  Most of the manufactured items I am able to buy are made in China. Most have been pretty good. But I have been disappointed with Chinese business shoes. Poor leather & soles that tend to crack up. But looks like a lot of manufacturing is being moved from China to the Indian subcontinent. Only time will tell what that brings.

  4846. Ms Patel did promise that she would get the number of people coming into the country down to zero within a year. At over 35,000 crossing by small boat in 2021 alone she is behind schedule. Perhaps she is trying to keep her promise.

  4855.  @felixtheswiss  May I take it that you have not visited Europe for some time. The fact that some cafes & tourist shops in the Middle Rhine area has turned to cash only was unusual enough for me to comment about it.
    1
  4856.  @felixtheswiss  In that case I can’t see how you can claim cash is king. Possibly in Southern Italy & Sicily but not in Europe as a whole. Covid-19 turned many to card only. These days even open air market traders take cards using contact free card readers via mobile phone networks.

  4858. I didn’t see any emotion.

  4859. A mate & his wife apparently get on well with their two EVs. Solar panels & Powerwall. They don’t draw much from the grid. In fact when they had to one EV they sold power to the grid at peak times. They are located just above 52 degrees north.

  4876. You Brits voted for your current situation. Didn’t your Nigel Farage & Boris Jonson not tell you that leaving the EU & therefore the ability to send people back could lead to the current situation ?
    1
  4877.  @melb5996  Are you trying to tell me that stories about the rising number of boat people are untrue. That yo did not ask for it. Partly by walking away from an agreement that left people with the threat of being sent back. YOU removed one of the conditions that caused people to think twice about crossing.
    1
  4878. The wife & I watched it. Why do people become upset at more or less any Agatha Cristy adaptation ?

  4879. Perhaps preparing by the U.S. not having building codes that allow houses to be built using card and sticks. Adding fuel to the fires. Are lesson that London UK learned centuries ago.

  4886.  @EnglishTurbines  List of names never made public so I am afraid you will have to wait. But I remember people being interviewed in France saying. I made it across. Have been returned. Now waiting to have another go.

  4888.  @Intensive_Porpoises So much traveling. So much CO2.

  4889. The U.K. does have a democratic system. It’s a Parliamentary Democracy. Not a Presidential system. The PM is chosen by the largest party. Not by a direct vote.
    1
  4890.  @fgsaramago  Come back when you know more about the U.K.
    1
  4891.  @fgsaramago  In which case you will know that MPs are democratically elected. The party in power then chose a leader. That leader can become Prime Minister. It is tradition that the Monarch rubber stamps that appointment The Monarch can not just choose a PM. The PM can only be someone democratically elected as an MP. Then chosen to be the leader of their party. If you did not learn that while gaining your degree. Perhaps think about suing the University.
    1
  4892.  @fgsaramago  Please explain why I should be anyway embarrassed.

  4897.  @fgsaramago  I have not withdrawn myself from the conversation. Your degree. Which subject did you read. Which University did you attend to gain your degree ? Was Trump University or perhaps one of the Ivy League Universities.
    1
  4898.  @fgsaramago  So what. You tell me.
    1
  4899.  @fgsaramago  You tell us you have a degree. I thought you understood. Mind, you seemed to think that the U.K. has an empire. I just put you right be saying the U.K. does not have an empire. But it is part of The Commonwealth. Perhaps you have just misunderstood the situation.
    1
  4900.  @fgsaramago  I just pulled you up on spreading misinformation by saying the U.K. has an empire. Perhaps you have being a member of The Commonwealth somehow mixed up.

  4906.  @martinfidel7086  It would be daft not to gather intel on people who threaten or engage in criminal damage. It should cost us less to put them through the courts.

  4912. What percentage of pedestrians/horse riders & perhaps even cyclists ever read the Highway Code ?
    1
  4913. Do they make sent & body lotion ?
    1
  4914. Can’t see a problem. Like a vehicle all they need to know if an address is correctly licenced. With a vehicle it’s done automatically via the ANPR system. The fact that they apparently will to take someone’s word for it that an address is correctly licenced seems just plane daft. I have seen people on YouTube claiming there are 1,000 people a month being fined makes me think there is a lot of dishonesty surrounding the TV licence.

  4915. This was a fuel tanker fire. Nothing to do with EVs.

  4917.  @joewalsh886  How can we able to even comment ?
    1
  4918. Many councils have been charging to empty garden waist bins for sometime. With us we historically did not have a green waste collation. The council started it thinking the service would either pay for itself or perhaps make a profit to help keep council tax down. Unfortunately the system made a loss. The collection of green waste has no been privatised giving the option of going back to no collection or paying for it.

  4922.  @cheesecakeisgross4645 Will Trump hand Alaska over to Putin or will put up a fight ?
    1
  4923.  @cheesecakeisgross4645  President Putin signed a decree on live TV. The Russians see the sale as illegal. He has promised to return Alaska to Russian control. One of the reasons Donald Trump admires Putin is that Putin always gets what he wants. Will the Donald hand it over to avoid a fight ?
    1
  4924.  @terryharris1291  In that case may I take it you are happy with the death & destruction ?
    1
  4925. Why. Calm down dear. Doing that helps.
    1
  4926.  @seesidesummerhouse6112 Sounds like to move to the Republic of Island charge on mobile & broadband bills. Unfortunately it will take away that UK’s option to not pay. At present nobody is forced to pay. Like a rod licence people in the U.K. don’t have to pay unless they do something that needs one.
    1
  4927.  @micu1544  It’s paid for by the TV Licence holder. Nobody in the U.K. is forced to pay any more than they are forced to buy a rod licence if they don’t fish. Hold a driving licence if they don’t drive. There is talk of following the Republic of Ireland were there is a levy on mobile & broadband bills. The downside is that would take away their element of choice.
    1
  4928.  @madeleineprice9645  You will find out come November.
    1
  4929.  @madeleineprice9645  please come back when you rechecked your facts. Nobody has to buy a TV licence unless they are doing something that requires one. Same as a rod, driver licence etc,
    1
  4930.  @micu1544  You don’t need a TV. It’s possible to watch or record live TV or BBC iPlayer on a smartphone, tablet, lap/desktop even some games consoles. Just owning any of those doesn’t mean you need a licence. It’s what you do with them. Same as owning a car or fishing rod without needing licences. Unfortunately the system requires people to be honest. Many are not. One reason the UK may just take it out of general taxation like other parts of the world.
    1
  4931.  @micu1544  A fishing rod licence.
    1
  4932.  @micu1544  it’s no more a tax than a rod, gun licence etc.

  4933.  @micu1544  Possibly true, but you don’t appear the most polite.

  4934. The police can’t do a lot. They will need input from the public. Same as when we were out with catapults on the 1950s.

  4935. Nigel has a bit of a cheek. He encouraged the U.K. to vote themselves into a position where they would have more crossings.

  4937. It could be useful.

  4939. Possibly because as we can see from the number of comments. People are very interested in the subject.

  4940. It’s a pity that former President Trump has money problems that may come up in a debate.
    1
  4941. Not sure that the bank actually closed his accounts. Apparently he is keeping both his accounts implying they had not been closed. Our Nigel also claimed that not only had his accounts been closed but no bank would allow him to open one. Turns out that claim was not entirely true.

  4942. Are you sure you don’t mean controlled by Russians.

  4951. Once in U.K. waters they become Global Britain’s responsibility. Is it better to bring them ashore to be documented or let them just disappear up a beach ? Before Brexit the U.K. could send people back. As soon as that arrangement ended the number of small boats trebled in a year. It is a case of Britain controlling it’s own borders whiteout the EU being involved.

  4981.  @Arthur_King_of_the_Britons  I have just heard. The U.K. does not have a BBC licence. It has a TV license that’s administered by a private company. The money collected is passed to the Government not the BBC. That there is no compulsion to have a licence. It’s like a gun licence you don’t need on if you don’t do anything that needs one. So in that way it’s voluntary. I have also been told that the U.K. courts can’t send anyone to prison for not having one when they need one. That all the court can do is levy a fine. That people don’t go to prison for non payment. The money is taken be attachments to earnings or benefits.. I did wonder how Britain could afford to jail 1,000 people a week.
    1
  4982.  @Arthur_King_of_the_Britons  This claim that people watching or recording live TV or BBC iPlayer with out a TV license can be sent to prison is incorrect. The courts do have have the power to send people to jail. All they can do is impose a fine. Sending people to prison is expensive. Costing much the same as putting someone in a good quality hotel. I am still surprised that there are so many dishonest people. From what you say up to 50,000 a year. Worldwide the BBC is trusted in the same way as Al Jazeera. The two go to English language channels. The claim that people can be imprisoned for not having a licence leads me to dismiss any claim about the result of a pole. Especially when I know something running a pole to obtain the result you are looking for.

  5071.  @nerdyengineer7943  Don’t know where you live in America. It’s a big place stretching from Arctic to Antarctic Circle. But it seems a little odd that there is a country where a fuel station employee could find it amusing to refuse service.
    1
  5072.  @nerdyengineer7943  A Petroleum Licence is rather like an alcohol licence. Fall foul of it can have the same sort of effect. How do I know this. I spent time as a manager of a service station. It was my name on the licence. Gas or diesel can only legally dispensed straight on a vehicle fill or into a container specially designed for carrying fuel. The max size container is 10 litre. Usual practice is to hold the container aloft so it can be see by the staff member who authorises the pump. The any just opening the hood or trunk and putting the due delivery hose is unlikely to have the pump authorised. The Renault 10 produced until 1971 has the engine at the back with the fuel filler in the trunk above the engine. It was one of the reasons the law was changed to ensure that petrol ( gas ) could not be spilled directly onto an engine. Gas being spilled onto hot engines resulted in fires. In those days pump handles did not have auto cut off. It been half a century since a vehicle with a fuel filler under the hood or in the trunk would get Type Approval. Just how many people in a fuel station are going old enough to be aware of that. Looks like Geoff buys cars even at his age wasn’t aware. Anyone turning up opening the trunk or hood could be filling any type of container. Without seeing that it’s a legal container the pump shouldn’t be authorised. There is a way round it. Pop in & explain the situation. Then should be no problem. But that of course would not have led to another of his rant videos.
    1
  5073.  @nerdyengineer7943  Not spite. Geoff buys cars who is old enough to know better should have popped and explain the situation. That the car came with the fuel filler in the trunk. That particular model along with others had the engine in the trunk with the fuel filler right above. This led to many fires. One of the reasons that in Europe for at least half a century any new models have needed fillers on the outside. Fuel has to go directly into the vehicle or a max 10 litres specially designed container. Someone turning opening the trunk and perhaps putting fuel into any unknown container & the pump should not be authorised. Perhaps top management has banned the Renault 10. After all they may have experienced a forecourt fire. A fuel filler above the engine in the engine compartment is an incident waiting to happen.
    1
  5074.  @nerdyengineer7943  To me shut off engine makes sense. Especially with auto transmission. Apart from that I think you will find that in most of Europe it’s illegal to get out of a vehicle & leave the engine running wherever you are. Also your insurance may not pay out if someone jumped in & drove off.

  5081. @LL-LLLL9 If you don’t do the crime you don’t have to pay the fine. None in the U.K. are forced to do anything that requires a licence. This somehow appears to upset a few people. Perhaps move to charging a premium on Broadband & mobile bills. Like they do in the Republic of Ireland & elsewhere. Or out of general taxation like they do in Russia. Those and other methods stop people cheating.

  5196.  @Baryngton6 President Putin signed a pledge to the Russian people. Saying the sale of Alaska was illegal. He vowed to restore Alaska to the Russian people. Perhaps is a good idea to keep him bogged down in Ukraine. Former President Trump says people who fight for their country are looser. If he gets in again & Putin comes for Alaska would he just hand it over ?

  5234.  @Mark-l9k9q  The BBC are slagged off for being left wing at the same time others are suggesting right wing bias. Same when there is conflict. Some saying they support one side while others claim the opposite. I see that as a sign of balance.

  5239. Anyone asking me to name my least favourite car to work on/drive & my answer is this car. In my case the Renault engine version. Dreadful gear change. Pedals seemed designed for people in leg irons. Plus the visibility from the driver’s seat absolutely abysmal. A slime 5ft 8inch driver needed a two foot neck to see through the drivers window & the rear view I found almost nonexistent. The gear change on the R16 & R16 TX were miles better. Once you realised it rolled when cornering but would not actually fall over. The 16 TX made a lot better sports car.

  5255.  @lowlyrover358  Thinking back I can remember when propaganda provided entertainment. In the very late 50s early 60s myself & others used to listen to. Radio Moscow’s English language station & Voice of America. We had a local USAF base. Some of the personal frequented the village pub. Don’t know about these days but back then we could really pull the Yanks legs about stuff we had heard on both stations. Radio Moscow & Voice of America really were propaganda stations & great fun.

  5291.  @cryengine62  I am perfectly happy with BBC programs. Especially Radio 4, iPlayer & BBC Sounds that are particularly good. One thing I would prefer is for HM Gov to move from the current discretionary licence to funding from tax. The current system just seems to just upset people. So get it gone.
    1
  5292.  @matlockmeat  The TV license people are contracted to the U.K. government to ensure that every premises is correctly licensed. That includes premises that don’t need a license. If your premises doesn’t need a license why not just say so.
    1
  5293.  @Tony-c7z9t  They are not breaking law. They are carrying out work that the work that the U.K. Gov has contracted them to do.

  5294.  @matlockmeat  It’s totally your choice. Much the same a driving, fishing, gun license etc. The radio licence requirement ended sometime around the 1970’s.
    1
  5295.  @matlockmeat  I agree in some respects. The U.K. should perhaps be like Russia & fund the National Broadcaster via taxation. You don’t hear anybody complaining there.

  5299. Sorry but there are many tree plantations in Scotland. Planted to produce timber for building work etc. Those plantations provide work in rural areas. About the only people bothered are tourists. Plus once cut down they are generally being replanted with native trees rather than the monoculture of miles and miles of non native trees.

  5300. Not sure that many in the U.K. use coal for heating. Hasn’t the last U.K. coal fired power station just closed. Isn’t about a third of the U.K. electricity coming from renewables ?
    1
  5301.  @zapfanzapfan  Looks like the National Grid is using out of date information. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_coal-fired_power_stations_in_the_United_Kingdom for the latest.
    1
  5302.  @zapfanzapfan  But at least gas is a lot cleaner than coal. No Black Lung Disease, No toxic tailings ponds. Burning coal produces nitrous oxides potentially triggering acid rain. Gas is generally uses less energy to transport. At least it’s a move in the right direction. But hay ho l’m not perfect so I can’t expect the world to be.
    1
  5303.  @zapfanzapfan  Yep the ability to ramp up gas turbine output quickly. Is an advantage. Water pump storage is also good for managing peak loads. The sort of thing that happens when a big match ends. Having lower wattage kettles helps.

  5307. Is Donald Trump going to show weakness like he did with North Korea. He told Kim I won’t allow you to develop nuclear weapons. We know how that ended. Putin invaded Ukraine. He should not be rewarded. Rather withdraw & pay reparations.

  5308. Two years ago they were told by Putin advance into Ukraine & you will be greeted with cake & flowers. That was also delusional.

  5310. @Ed Straker I don’t think so. The ERG kept their heads down while Nigel took the wee wee. He kept coming out with ‘facts’ that people took as gospel. Not realising that he like many rich ex-public schools boys would be baiting us groundlings for fun.
    1
  5311. @Ed Straker What gave you the impression that I am defending the Tories. The ERG especially wanted to get rid of EU laws so they can replace them with ones that allow them to make more money. Nigel takes it a step further. A rich ex-public school boy who just enjoys getting one over on the groundlings.

  5313. @ Yep. You dead right on that.

  5323.  @MatthijsvanDuin  Nuclear does sound good. At one time it looked as though it may be taken up by merchant shipping. If I remember correctly the public started showing concern about nuclear materials falling into terrorist hands. People who even aim to die for the cause. There seems to be some discussion about how many virgins are waiting for them. I wonder if each virgin comes with a mother-in-law.

  5328.  @notknown6605  Not at sure that is true. They are a charity formed in 1824.Their stated aim is to protect animals. What do you think would happen to their donations if your claim turned out to be true.

  5336. No the EU did not remove any.
    1
  5337.  @Cazz48  The EU have not removed any. Spain has removed some redundant small millpond type dams. They would not have made any difference as that amount of water would have flooded over their tops. There are many ‘dry’ rivers in that part of Spain. Only carrying water when the rains come at this time of year. A bit like India has the annual Monsoon. This year’s event has been unusual. Possibly down to the unusually high temperatures in parts of the Mediterranean Sea water.

  5353.  @marcmescher2335  Good to hear there is at least some sort of Public Defender system. I see people saying he/she was not drunk. The DUI laws seem much tighter in Europe. Being drunk does not come into it. In places like France or Scotland half a litre of beer can take you over the limit. Some countries you can possibly get away with as much as a litre. Ever driver involved in an accident will be breath tested. If you had been drinking the night before being involved in an accident you can still be over the limit. In France to cut down on the public costs each vehicle has to carry two ‘in date’ breath test kits. If you fail using your own kit the police there use their calibrated equipment. The use of mouth swab kits for drugs are also increasing. Even people on prescription drugs are subject to a max amount in the blood. In most countries if they are not prescribed and you have anything other than zero you are classed DUI.

  5417. @John Chapman Our Council Tax bill does not appear to have kept up with inflation. Perhaps they need more housing to bring their effective income up to counter inflation.

  5418. @John Chapman Not seen that in Warwickshire. I believe the roads, drains etc in new estates are put in by the developers. Then adopted by the council. Would you prefer it if home owners on new estates maintained their own infrastructure ?
    1
  5419. @John Chapman That was one of the great legacies surrounding the site of the 2012 Olympics. I believe specific laws were needed. Perhaps it could happen elsewhere over the years moving responsibility from the council transferring it more toward individual property owners. More or less everyone commenting on here appears to have it in for councils. Perhaps privatisation is the answer. Get people off councils back. With councils there is some accountability. How would privatisation improve that.

  5447.  @polla2256 Scotland has had 20 mph zones. Many U.K. mainland cities are going the same way. Makes it much easier for delivery drivers. Means being slow enough to find house numbers, especially in the dark. Could be worth doing an experiment. Pick a house number a few streets away. Then drive there in the dark looking for it. Also best remember a delivery driver can spend more time looking for numbers than at the road.

One of his priorities is junk all the climate change nonsense. Full speed ahead with fossil fuels. He may junk environment measures which he says are an undue cost on businesses.

  5500. In my late 70s & voted remain I believe the wife voted the same way. A lot of younger people apparently listened to Nigel Farage who told them they needed to vote leave to bring a better future. Insinuating that my generation had betrayed them by going into the EU.
    1
  5501.  @grtcara8386  Where did you get the idea that my demographic predominantly voted leave. I did not an as far as I know non of my friends did either. We remember the pre EU days and did not want to go back. Nigel F kept saying we had betrayed the younger generations by going in. That people must vote leaving to insure freedom & prosperity for both the young & as yet unborn. As far as people voting Conservative in 19. The Brexit vote has happened three years earlier. Even people who voted remain had become wracked off with it dragging on and on & just wanted to ‘Get it done.’

  5503.  @grtcara8386  Carried out that search & very surprised that you are correct. The leave thing did not wash with our lot. We had experienced pre EU. Looked at the ERG members & envisioned the laws they would like to land us with. Also Nigel F we recognised as an entitled public schoolboy who has made a fortune in the city. He has the stereotypical smirk of an attention seeker who winds up us groundlings for entertainment. The leave vote came a bit of a shock. The ones that served in Ireland see one advantage. It could finally precipitate the reunification of Ireland. Just need to hope the south will play ball.

  5595. All you need to do is answer to confirm that the property doesn’t need a licence. They then more more or less take your word for it. They check every couple of years because there may be a totally different occupier who does things that mean a property now needs a licence. Perhaps there should be an equivalent to to ANPR.
    1
  5596.  @Thurgosh_OG  For a start there is no such thing as a BBC licence. All money collected goes to the UK Government. Capital are on contract with UK Gov to insure that all properties are correctly licenced. If a property has a licence there is no need to check with the occupant. If it doesn’t they need ask the occupant if it’s correctly licenced. Which seems very sloppy. Especially when seeing posts on YouTube claiming there are about 1,000 people taken to court each month. Which implies there is a lot of dishonesty. The government doesn’t take my word that I have any vehicle paperwork in order.
    1
  5597.  @artgreen6915  TV Licencing are contracted by the U.K. Government to keep the database up to date. Can’t see why people have a problem with that. Seems reasonable to me. The last time I received a letter I used the freephone number. It took me to a voice activated system. It took no more than 45 seconds to complete the call confirming the the address still didn’t require a licence. Can’t remember how long it had been since the previous letter but I have a feeling it had been a couple of years. One thing that is a concern is comments on YouTube other social media claiming that about an average of about 1,000 people a month are be fined because they are incorrectly licenced. Don’t totally trust social figures. But it does appear that there may be a lot of dishonesty surrounding the TV Licence. This thing about asking people if the need a licence an assuming they are telling truth is not fit for purpose. What we need is something along the lines of ANPR that automatically checks a properties license status.

The build up of of sand around the tyres indicated that it has been there for some time. Offshore units were trialled around Orkney. If I remember correctly trials with different generation units went on for some years. Apparently turned out to be a very expensive & unreliable way to generate electricity. Perhaps they ought to have found a bit of sea that had constant waves but never experienced storms.

  5744.  @jimtaylor294  The world has changed. A Dr Who type police box stood on the corner where I caught the bus to first school. As Scouts we carried 6 inch sheath knives. But did not even consider stabbing anyone. I started work about six years before they went from foot patrol to panda cars with radios. When they did not need stab vests. When the local Bobby could give kids a thick ear and send them home without being charged with assault. If you were caught scrumping they would take you home where you would get a good slap round your legs from your mother. I agree it would be good to see police back on foot patrol but as a society we don’t appear to want to put our hands in our pockets & pay for it.
    1
  5745.  @jimtaylor294  What about falling public standards. So many people are now prepared to break the law just because they don’t agree with it. Electric scooter use is just one part of it. Fire & ambulance personnel being called out to be attacked is another. I am sure a lot of people would like to see extra foot patrols. Because of the current ease of breaking the law say, riding E scooters etc I think many would not. Also we see people who actually want fewer police. Being quite vocal about defunding the police.
    1
  5746.  @jimtaylor294  The Tories made drastic cut to Police numbers & funding. Leading to people finding out they could ‘get away’ with breaking the law. There was a time when peer pressure kept lawbreaking levels down. As kids we did not deliberately court police attention. The Isle of Man did not see much anti social behaviour. Everyone there or visiting knew about the birch. Focused the mind on staying out of trouble. I believe the use of the birch ceased in the 1970s. The police get flack for doing their job. Perhaps we need to get away from things like people egged on by spectators driving up & down at high speed. When the police do turn up they are pilloried on the net & elsewhere for being buzzkillers.

  5752. Hasn’t President Putin become a bit of an embarrassment. Hitler took over Poland in short order & moved. President Putin has been invading Ukraine for two years. Apart from a lot of deaths & destruction has achieved very little. Put beside Hitler Putin is a failure.

  5753. @ Yep. Looks like it has been kept that way. Pretty sure they didn’t out anyone who didn’t want to be identified. Someone apparently very much wanted her story out there. They gave her that opportunity.

  5754. Why is anyone bothered about the U.K. They are about 70 million in a world of over 8 Billion. So hardly worth worrying about.

  5761.  @MegaDeano1963  Don’t know why you think crime comes into it. No one is forced to buy a licence. Like a driving licence, don’t do anything that needs one & you don’t need one. It’s a personal choice.

  5780.  @grahvis  Questioning. It’s when & how it happens. Done like that in the street it is harassment.
    1
  5781.  @CrimsonGackt  I agree with your comments on MTG. But two wrongs don’t make a right. I am not a MTG fan I particularly don’t like the way she makes Christians look bad. She is a Christian but says. Don’t help people being attacked just walk by on the other side.
    1
  5782.  @CrimsonGackt  Perhaps my upbringing is showing. If I had approached MTG in that way I would have received a good slapping around the back of the legs. No excuse allowed.
    1
  5783.  @grahvis  I am the one pointing out that MTG was being harassed. Harassing people is at best bad manors. Doing it exposes that someone has bad manners. No excuses.
    1
  5784.  @eriv4735  I am making a point. There is no excuse for rudeness.
    1
  5785.  @eriv4735  Looks like we come from different streams in society. My upbringing makes me see MTG ( who I don’t like one little bit ) being chased up as out & out rudeness. You apparently don’t.
    1
  5786.  @eriv4735  How can you not understand that where I come from there is no valid excuse for rudeness ?
    1
  5787.  @eriv4735  It’s the way a question is asked that makes all the difference. Off subject I know but. How come China has reportedly built more high speed rail in Africa than there is across the whole US ?

It can be a three wheeler with luggage carrying capacity. Quite a few of them around in Europe. They don’t seem to have caught on in the U.K.

  5806.  @-A-lm5xb  Still a valid point.

  5831.  @ADifferentBias  But all boils down to the fact that the U.K. voted for Brexit. All we can do is make the best of a bad job. Is continually moaning going to fix it ? I did not vote to leave but the majority did.
    1
  5832.  @mickeencrua  I do support any changes that will help make the best of it. I voted remain but can’t understand why are many people just moaning. Instead of getting on with it. After five years the moaning is becoming tiresome.

  5833.  @jounik  You have just answered your own question. Best stop complaining & talk to them.
    1
  5834. I don’t remember it that way. One of the things that some people claim these days is the the BBC is full of remainers. I don’t agree with that either. The BBC gives time to all. Just what the law requires them to do.
    1
  5835. The U.K. population has clear warnings that they may be trouble ahead. I kept hearing reports of people saying. Don’t care about possible disruption & costs. I just want sovereignty back. I hope these same people aren’t now complaining. The democratic vote said leave. It’s now up to us to perhaps stop whinging & aim to make the best of to my mind a bad job.

As a result of overpopulation using technical fixes we humans have brought it on ourselves. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(population)

Putin also has a lot of the Middle East in hock over food supplies. It’s perhaps unfortunate that ex President Trump described Putin as a great statesman & good guy even though he must of known about. Downing of a airliner & the green men in eastern Ukraine. I wonder if ex President Trump wanted to leave NATO because he knew he was out of his depth.

  5892. This 'Mafia' thing seems the least that DJT may be guilty of. Showing the US up as impotent on the world stage is possible a bigger problem. DJT told the world that dangerous 'Little Rocket Man' would not be allowed to develop nukes. He did. Then that 'Little Rocket Man' would not be allowed the develop missiles to deliver them. He has. The world knowing he had been beaten DJT then started saying that 'Little Rocket Man' is an excellent fellow who we can work with. If reports are correct 'Little Rocket Man' stopped taking DJT's phone calls effectively giving the US the middle finger.

    1
  5931.  @Tony-fr4ic  Much more likely to end up with an attachment to earnings or benefits. Putting someone in jail is just not cost efficient. Attachments are designed to keep people out of jail.

  5934.  @Tony-fr4ic  I am pretty sure that a the only way someone would end up in prison is if they really worked at it. For some reason to made a point of it. It’s equivalent to driving a vehicle without a valid road fund license. Same there you would really need to work hard to end up in jail.

  5962.  @hazchem1  Why not ? I am fully vaccinated right through from Smallpox in the early 1940s. It’s a pity TB jab did not arrive earlier it would have saved my a year in what was more or less solitary & about 18 months off school. How many TB Hospitals are left in the U.K. ?

  5980. @ Not shame on me at all. Perhaps try phoning your council and ask to be put through their parking enforcement department. It’s something that by law has to go out to tender. The council has to be able to show they can carry out the work cheaper than the tender. I will be surprised if they can do that.
    1
  5981.  @suburbanyobbo9412  The Council is very unlikely to use their direct labour to enforce parking restrictions. Have you tried phoning the Council to speak to their parking enforcement dept. What did the Council say if you tried it ? Having been through the process I am pretty sure you don’t know what you are talking about.

    1
  6006.  @nikokisic3100  Putin is an embarrassment. Sending an armoured column in from the north at the start of the Special Operation. Why did he send his troops straight to their deaths. What plonker came up with the idea that they would be welcomed with flowers & cake. How come he was dim enough to believe it.
    1
  6007. There would be no point in him doing that.

  6016.  @Igbon5  As long as the the driver is authorised to drive the vehicle the answer is yes. Driving off without removing it would be an offence.

  6028.  @BigDuke6ixx  That is only speculation. In law not worth the paper it’s written on.
    1
  6029.  @BigDuke6ixx  The bank or come to that business doesn’t have to give a reason to stop dealing with a customer. I spent time in retail. The law says don’t tell someone why you have decided not to deal with them & there is no legal requirement to do so. The legal advice is don’t give a reason & they can’t touch you. Pretty sure the bank will be very aware of the legal situation & that is possibly why they have stayed stum. On a slightly different note. If you personally don’t share the same values as someone else. Do you believe you should be forced to work with them ?
    1
  6030.  @sarac.3259  Is that suspicious in itself ?
    1
  6031.  @sarac.3259  Giving the reason was their mistake. They should have just said no we don’t need the work. Customer facing people in anything except small companies will most likely have attended consumer law seminars. Would not make the same mistake.

    1
  6040. @ The UK appears to have lost out leaving the EU and with it the Dublin agreement. Which has surprise, surprise as ment even more people arriving by boats. Which for your Nigel is the gift that keeps on giving. Your imports and exports have become much more complicated and expensive. Some have ended. There was supposed to be a golden new dawn where your health service waiting lists would melt away. There would be plenty of money. Instead you still have long waiting lists. Local government having their central government grants cut and some going technically bankrupt. The list goes on and on basically what you named Project Fear being vindicated.

  6052. It’s the property that may require a licence. Does not matter if they don’t have your personal details.
    1
  6053.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  I have a feeling you don’t understand the law. I have a friend who does not have a licence. She does not have watch live TV or BBC iPlayer. That makes her property correctly licensed. Capita have a Government contract to make sure properties are correctly licensed. If a property has a licence they don’t need to check further. If not. About once a year they check to see if there have been any changes. ( The property may have been sold etc. ) If time comes round for a check & people don’t reply they need to keep asking. The people who complain about getting letter after letter have only them self to blame.
    1
  6054.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  You don’t understand the law or you would not be asking that particular question.
    1
  6055.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  A property is required to be correctly licensed. The person or entity legally responsible to insure is it is correctly licensed is the the person or entity that could the subject of legal action if it’s not correctly licensed.

  6056.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  Seems clear enough to me. Sorry you can’t grasp the concept.
    1
  6057.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  I have not conceded that It’s abstract or unenforceable. The amount of people fined each year prove that the law is enforced. Sorry you have not been able to get your head round it.

  6069. I have purchased my motorcycle. That had been damaged beyond economical repair. Did the work myself. Unfortunately a professional repair business has to warranty their work. Not possible when using secondhand parts. Could lead them into PR & legal problems.

  6070. It's not.

  6073. Anyone using the canals are expected to respect the speed limit. Just the same on the roads.
    1
  6074.  @davidc8125  I have not been to Venice for a while but I am pretty sure the speed limit in the canals was 10kph. There is also the permit requirement for personal water transport. Permits are normally only issued to residents. The riders do not appear to have been residents so are unlikely to have permits.

  6075. Makes every sense not to charge at peak time. People on variable tariff could well find it cheaper to charge off peak. Plus does the average Joe really ‘need’ to charge at peak time. What about areas were you can top your EV at low rate & sell spare capacity back to the grid at high rate ? Is this piece essentially being negative aiming to avoid solutions.
    1
  6076.  @gavintaylor9507 Are you sure about that. In one job my employer insisted the men were dressed in. Black suits, white shirts, black shoes & plain ties. The woman did not need to wear ties & often had blouses open so it could be eyes down for a full house. The company did not contribute to the cost of our clothing.

  6091. How could any news organisation know what was sitting on Trump’s desk ?

  6092. Looks like there should have been guns to stop the bad guy with a gun. A cellphone is no defence.

  6093.  @harrybriscoe7948  I see it as a very grown up view. But if you could explain how a cellphone is going to be any use against a gun I am willing to listen.

  6107. In the U.K. at least Apple make it quite clear that they no longer supply chargers with iPads etc. It’s a person’s choice if they buy the product or not. You also don’t need an Apple charger. There are plenty of suitable charges on eBay etc. I have four Apple chargers that have come with Apple products over the years. I for one definitely don’t need yet another.

  6108.  @cplcabs  You pays your money & makes your choice. Apple make it clear just what 'comes in the box.' Any who spends loads of money without reading the large print does not get my sympathy.

  6117. Why do people only seem to talk about TV sets. Live TV & BBC iPlayer are available on smartphones, tablets & even some games consoles.
    1
  6118.  @HolyFreakinDragonSlayer  You are correct. Not just TV sets. Basically also anything that can have internet connection. It may be worth bearing in mind that you’re ISP’s system logs what you are collecting to. I know this because I have a massive data use problem. Getting through security was a real faff but. My ISP were able to tell me data transfer details. Turned out a desktop was running something that I had enabled without realising the implications.

  6139.  @Nu_Atma  The military are perhaps being kept for when Putin comes for Alaska ?
    1
  6140.  @Nu_Atma  Perhaps it’s a good idea to keep Putin bogged down in Ukraine. Putin has signed a decree on live TV that say’s. The sale of Alaska to the U.S. was illegal. He has vowed to return Alaska to Russian control. If Donald gets back how much of it would he hand over to avoid a fight.

    1
  6168.  @cencalkennels7102  WOKE A political term coined in the 1940s to cover people who had aWOKEn to racial & social injustice. Can't see why anyone would have a problem with it. Let alone use it as a form of abuse.

  6169.  @solarfox3003  Satellite etc photos show the bodies lying in the street before the Russians left. With all the surveillance this days it’s become very hard to say. ‘Not me gov’ and get away with it.
    1
  6170.  @cencalkennels7102  Just what would ex President Trump have done ?
    1
  6171.  @cencalkennels7102  WOKE is a political term coined in the 1940s to describe people who have aWOKEn to racial & social inequalities. Can’t see why anyone would have a problem with it. Even more so when some use it almost as an insult. It appears that you & I have seen different figures on the performance of the economy.

  6172.  @cencalkennels7102  You have totally misjudged me.
    1
  6173.  @cencalkennels7102  Thank you for your assessment of my character. It has given my mates something to smile about. But you did not answer a question. It started when you said that ex President Trump would have dealt with Ukraine much better than Sleepy Joe. I asked what would your ex President have done differently. You have still not answered.
    1
  6174.  @cencalkennels7102  You told the world that ex President Trump would have handled the war better than Sleepy Joe. I asked what he would do. So far you have failed to come up with an answer. Ex President Trump made it very clear that he thinks President Putin is a great statesman & a nice guy. Do you think he may have sent in the B52s to bomb the Ukrainians ?
    1
  6175.  @cencalkennels7102  If that is your answer why did Putin take two years to invade ? You also seem to have forgotten the ex President Trump is a Putin supporter.. Why are you still using the fact that someone may have aWOKEn to social & racial inequality as an insult ? Are you the type of person who does not want to see social & racial injustice tackled. Do you believe in white supremacy ?

    1
  6194.  @sg.o7139  I know I am not the only person in the world. Far from it. On what grounds do you claim that I support law breakers & paedophiles ? I am sure that my posts on YouTube will support me. I have made it clear that people. Including me should uphold the law.

  6216.  @MaritimeFox  The two P&O EV ferries have diesel back up. Non EV P&O ferries will run on just one of their two engines. In most parts of the world passenger carrying vessels require two main engines. The P&O EV ferries will run on either. Electric or diesel.

  6220. There is a YouTube video that shows a former President Trump supporting boastful about handing out whistles & encouraging people to make noise to show support for DJT. Also I would have hoped that MTG would support anti fascists. But apparently not.

  6221. Had the same sort of experience. I live on a sunken lane. It used to be a cyclists time trial route. Nobody thumped my car but I was shouted at more than once saying me driving on the lane affected their times and would affect their results. I managed to find the organisers & mentioned the possibility of CCTV showing people riding furiously on the downhill section. Don’t know where they went after that but they don’t use the lane anymore.

  6222. As a tester in a village garage we knew that half a dozen of the lads in the area owned Minis. I think they only had about two sets of legal tyres between them. They used to borrow each other’s wheels for the MOT. We all knew full well it was happening but could only test the vehicle as it was presented. This was before the test included a VIN check. One of the reasons for the VIN check was to stop people switching number plates.

Which means you are going to,feel the increasing flow of the displaced. But as consolidation the U.K. cannot be far away from the post Brexit Golden Dawn. Personally I don’t think that dawn will ever arrive. Your are on your own mate. A small island against a world of 8,000,000 plus where your leaders proved they can’t even be trusted.

  6233. @RJG5NATO isn’t aggressive. It’s defensive. President Putin is the aggressor. He used the same sort of excuse that Hitler used the invade Poland. I admit there is one difference. Hitler made it stick for years. Two years in & President hasn’t taken over Ukraine. Compared to Hitler he is a failure.

  6286. Our politicians have listened to Nigel about putting people on boats. Some now saying if people want to be in the U.K. why not give them opportunity to get there. Perhaps even buy them boats. To make sure they stay safe have the navy escort them to the edge of U.K. waters. After all the U.K. did vote to leave along with the ability to send some back.

  6287. If the police for whatever reason can't do anything about shop lifters the stores have to. It dose not help when thre ar people on social media saying. Don't be intimidated into thinking you can't just walk out without paying.

  6289.  @dude9318  Correct. But in the meantime we should perhaps think about society & do our bit to get the majority vaccinated.
    1
  6290.  @rational0  I believe that although rushed out without years of testing they have been effectively. But as you say the virus mutates & just like the flu jab will need to be modified as time passes. I will be happy to have further jabs. I already have an annual flue jab I will have extra Covid-19 jabs if recommended. I also think the restrictions played a very big part in keeping it under control. We had months of door step deliveries where apart from that we did not see anybody other than on Zoom etc. No way to pick it up or pass on. We did loose people close but only one immediate family. The funeral took place over 100 miles away. We did not attend. But things are looking up & we have booked a trip the Germany in August. I feel that restriction to help stop the spread & along with vaccines now they are available are what have brought us to the new normal.

  6310.  @chieveley  The license is needed if you watch ‘any’ live TV or BBC iPlayer. That’s on any device not just TV sets. It’s perhaps remembering that ISPs log all you watch on line.

  6311.  @DarrenHarrison7160  How on earth does throwing away you coax lead prove you don’t watch live TV or BBC iPlayer.
    1
  6312.  @davarosmith1334  Giving people the option seems to wind people up as options often do. The U.K. should perhaps bite the bullet & like other countries fund the National Broadcaster through tax.

  6313.  @DarrenHarrison7160  I commented on funding. I don’t need to know technical details of how TV works.
    1
  6314.  @DarrenHarrison7160  A coax cable is not needed to watch live TV on a tablet, smartphone & even some game stations. Unfortunately some people have reportedly been caught out. Don’t watch live TV themselves. But who even asks their kids what they are watching ? Used to be simple in previous times. Have a TV need a licence. Now it’s seems that people in the U.K. can watch live TV without even owning a set. It’s-reached the stage when the householder may not know what someone is watching in the next room. But his ISP will.

  6334.  @robmule4647  I can say I am totally unvaccinated. A claim that has not been fact checked. Which one of the reasons I lean to Main Stream Media.
    1
  6335.  @robmule4647  I prefer them to places that try to tell you that someone has been arrested purely for praying. When they weren’t arrested for praying. They were arrested for breaking an injunction to stay out of a particular area.

  6336.  @googlesucks662  Thank you for the accolade. I will treasure it forever.
    1
  6337.  @gillian-n2s  Are you sure she was arrested for silent prayer. I heard she was breaking a court injunction. That the fact she claimed to be praying was just a red herring.
    1
  6338.  @gillian-n2s  If I or anyone says things to the police that makes it sound in may be up to no good. I expect the police to take it further. It’s one of the reasons I pay tax.
    1
  6339.  @gillian-n2s  She was not arrested for praying. Apparently claimed she was praying at the time & used it to gain support.
    1
  6340.  @gillian-n2s  I don’t claim to always have correct opinions. I am fallible just like anyone else. But if we are talking about the same woman she was NOT arrested for praying. Yes the police did talk to her and ask questions. After all she may have been suffering a medical episode. Not sure anyone would have been happy if the police had missed that. As far as opinion goes it is not a matter of opinion. She was NOT arrested for praying.

  6341.  @gillian-n2s  Christian. I used to be, but church. Sunday School & Bible Study means I have seen the light. All religions have something going for them. But between them they have played a part in more than enough death & destruction.

  6349. The U.K. left the EU with the leaders promising among other things a massive free trade deal with the US. They voted leave in 2016. The US apparently prefers to trade with the EU and at this stage the U.K. appears to have shot it’s own foot off & ended up largely isolated.

  6351. Nobody in the U.K. is forced to purchase a TV licence. Also it is a TV licence not a BBC licence. The BBC apparently doesn’t know who does and doesn’t hold a TV licence.

  6369.  @pokerman9108  This sort of gun incident can possibly be not totally prevented but. Gun laws like New Zealand, Australia, U.K. & many European counties have cut them to very low levels.
    1
  6370.  @pokerman9108  Other countries have done the experiment & it has been shown to work. You have a point about the Golden Arches but two wrongs don’t make a right. People with with mental health issues are like the poor they will always be with us. Poor mental health & guns are as Ted C says are a big issue. We are stuck with poor mental health but guns the other side of the equation can be dealt with. Buy back will cost a more than a couple of dollars but the oil companies have a huge windfall profits. An ideal chance to for them to do good. People who say ‘From my cold dead hands’. Are something that will work through in time. Just let them get on with it. They will miss out on cash. Also if like many countries a fire arms licence, certificate, permit is needed to buy & even hold ammunition. Their guns will fade from being a problem.
    1
  6371.  @pokerman9108  You seem to be looking for problems rather than solutions. Did it take 600 years to sell those guns ? You also seem to have little faith in humanity. It did not cause a civil war anywhere else.
    1
  6372.  @pokerman9108  You have just proved a point. Guns are supposed to keep us safe. When in fact they keep people frightened. You for one really do sound scared.

  6375. An internet connected TV or other device are, with the aid of cookies etc telling the net just what it’s displaying. It’s a sort of digital parallel to ANPR cameras on our roads. I knew someone who ran an untaxed vehicle for over three months. One day she returned to the vehicle to find it clamped. Notices on the screen & side windows saying why it and been clamped & a contact phone number. The following day she received a letter listing a whole number of times and places the vehicle has been seen in use. It appears that it’s all logged by computer. Apparently the evidence keeps building up until the stage were there is not argument. We all know our devices are also feeding viewing habits back to the net.

  6376.  @lapamful  I don’t think so. J S has been dead that long he has even moved graves.

  6377. It’s illegal to dump anything overboard. No way could a shipping company set a system to dump vehicles over the side.
    1
  6378.  @tissuepaper9962  Yep. That is the case. But I am pretty sure that International Law would not allow a vessel that was designed to jettison hazardous materials. What about the new P&O cross channel ferry. At the moment running as a hybrid. But once the charger stations are finished in Calais & Dover will be an EV with diesel emergency backup.
    1
  6379. Are you really sure about that ?
    1
  6380. They can. Unfortunately they need to know it’s happening before they can do anything. These JSO flash mobs are often there & gone before they can react.

  6381.  @jonny_kung With age comes wisdom. British broadcasting is overseen by OFCOM. The BBC Charter requires them to aim to show both sides. OFCOM has the power to enforce that. Hence giving the Flat Earth people the chance to put their point of view.
    1
  6382.  @jonny_kung The BBC is answerable to OFCOM. They have to show different views. Hence having to give time to the Flat Earth brigade.

  6383. Why in the EU the U.K. could send people back to Europe. Something to do with the Dublin Agreement. The U.K. voting leave the EU was the answer to the smugglers dreams. Could no longer send anyone straight back. Of course the number of crossings shot up.
    1
  6384.  @stig350  Same sort of thing with motorcycles. I can use a tinted visor during the day. As soon as it goes dark it legally has to be a clear visor. Carrying two visors is a bit like having day & night windshields. Much easier to wear sunglasses in bright daylight. Take them off in low light or darkness.
    1
  6385. Yes laws do apply. Some police forces have kit that measures the percentage of light passing though the glass. My understanding is that the kit is not cheap & because the results can be used in court officers have to be certified to use it. This involves time off the job training. I ride motorcycles & have/had friends & acquaintances who have been injured or even died when someone has pulled out in front of them. I would like to see the kit used more often but realise that having each & every Police Office trained & equipped is far from being a viable option.

  6424. Not saying I agree with them but the flat earth advocates do come up with proofs that the earth is flat. Just the same as the general scientific consensus is that the earth is a a globe. I find the globe evidence more compelling. The same way as believing that the earth goes round the sun. Something that a few centuries ago could end in a death sentence.

In this situation I would not cross even if a car had not been approaching from the right. We were taught that as pedestrians it was down to us not to put ourselves at any risk. After all if you are the one lying in the road fault is purely academic.

  6443.  @TonyG-iu4td  Do then RNLI really sit in French waters. Not sure they do. They do get people documented so that they can't just disappear up a beach. Potentially into the black economy or worse still an underground cell were they may be radicalised. It's just easier & cheaper to pick them up from boats rather than patrol ever south coast beach. The RNLI is run on donations. Would you prefer if it all came out of tax money ?
    1
  6444.  @SG-je4kd  I see them as part of the solution that stops people just disappearing into the black economy or worse. At least this with the RNLI picking people up it saves tax money being spent doing that job. You don't wish to contribute which is fair enough. But please. Is it fair to knock people who save tax payers money ?

  6477.  @MikeEves  How come Capita are expected to contact people. Even appear on doorsteps. Please come back when you are up to speed. I have seen on YouTube that up to a thousand people are taken to court each month. Appears a lot haven’t told the truth.
    1
  6478.  @80PercentScottish  Not a threat. Purely an enquiry to confirm the licence status of the property. Capita are obliged to do that under their contract with the Government. It’s only fair to supply information about what could happen if the the property is incorrectly licensed.
    1
  6479.  @useablelobster  The Government has a contract with Capita to ascertain that properties are correctly licensed. The law says that properties need to be correctly licensed. But one big problem with the system is that to some extent it requires people to be honest. If it’s correct that not far off one thousand people are taken to court & fined each month there is a lot of dishonesty about. I think the present set up a daft system. So to avoid dishonesty. Best raise money through tax like is done elsewhere in the world.

    1
  6486.  @flandersnatch2285  If you don’t remember your own insults. As far a snowflake goes you have done it again. My answer is come here & say that.
    1
  6487.  @caparn100  Unfortunately Capita is contracted by the Government to keep a record of each properties licence status. Meaning if a property does not have a licence. They are contractually obliged to check. Trouble is it’s a system open to abuse. Many even say things like I haven’t had a licence for years but it has not stopped my TV working. Perhaps it would be better if the U.K. had a way of automatically logging TV usage. It would cut on the need to ask & people using without being correctly licensed.
    1
  6488.  @archangel6676  Sounds like someone has been pulling your leg. Capita are a private firm on contract to the U.K. Government. The money they collect goes to the U.K. Government. They are also under Government contract to carry out recruitment for the U.K. armed forces.
    1
  6489.  @SuperGingerRob  You don’t need a licence to own a TV. But unlike a fishing rod you can use it out of site. Which is why you need to be asked. Use a rod & you will have a bailiff checking your paperwork. Worse still if you don’t have the paperwork & are caught carrying fish off you will be into poaching territory. One problem with the TV licence setup is that it requires people to be honest.
    1
  6490.  @philkasafir.  This is all down to Capita”s contracts with the Government. I wonder who sets up the parameters of contracts. I feel it’s possibly down to the Government.
    1
  6491.  @philkasafir.  The Police can insist you ID yourself if asked. Capita are contracted to see that all properties are correctly licensed. It’s just a pity that in the first instance Capita are expected to take someone’s word for it. Unfortunately some people aren’t trustworthy. If they were there would be no need for ANPR cameras to check that vehicles are have a valid road fund licence. There really is a need for TV licensing to have an automatic checking system.

    1
  6529. @ The results of any police investigation could be quite interesting. Changes to the TV licence will also be interesting. Possibly moving to a system a bit like the Republic of Ireland. I believe the current UK system is based on trust which seems a little naive.

  6550. Good informative video. Unfortunately in England a survival knife carried in a place with public access will be classed as an offensive weapon.

She said she returned to the vehicle to find it clamped & labelled. She told me about the letter listing the logged sightings. I did not see the letter. Perhaps she did not tell me the full or even a 100% accurate story. But you may have triggered your own DVLA attention.

  6617.  @BasedSaxon  So it’s just part of the Centuries old ebb and flow. Go back far enough and apparently Homo Sapiens came out of Africa displaying Neanderthal, Homo Erectus & others. The Roman brought many different nationalities as part of their army. The Normans brought even more different peoples. What is happening now is just a continuation of what’s gone on since before recorded history.

  6618.  @nelliedownsouth2316  Yep true. But the U.K. is now Global Britain covered by laws that did not exist 1000 years ago. One thing the U.K is out of is the EU.

  6640.  @Dextronaut1  I stick with it. The BBC are doing well. Certainly no cause for embarrassment. I do wonder why are people jealous that the UK has the BBC

  6654. Africa isn’t part of the EU. So why would they even attempt that.

  6672. If you are talking about the BBC they have got reports out of Gaza. But not been allowed access to Israel’s jails.
    1
  6673.  SmallvilleFann1983  Trouble is the videos show the protesters walking slowly but only for a very short time, not enough for a conviction. A flash lawyer may even claim false arrest. People attacking the protesters further muddied the water. One of the reasons for going flash mob is :- Don’t give the police time to turn up.
    1
  6674.  @johannthomas6085  Because JSO have moved to ‘Flash Mob’ tactics. In grab some video & gone before the police can arrest them. Leaves them free to be somewhere else a few hours later. Video goes on YouTube with comments aiming to put the blame for the holdups on the police.
    1
  6675.  @bumblingborisbuffoon6259  I have visited Stop 24 on many occasions. The lorry park always looked well used. It was built before Brexit was even a thing. It is also worth popping into Stop 24 to see the purpose built in concourse customs facilities.

  6676. Trump is weak. Could not stop Kim developing nuclear weapons. Could not even Lock Her Up.

  6677. I suppose you could have managed dealing with Trumps 35% tariffs. 50% on your cars.
    1
  6678. Why would they promise that. It was decriminalised about 40 years ago.
    1
  6679.  @uingaeoc3905  It is not a criminal offence. People can be taken to court & fined over things like parking. Thats not a criminal offence either. People talk tosh about jail for offenders. No longer can anyone be set to jail for being incorrectly licensed.
    1
  6680.  @uingaeoc3905  You appear to be very unclear on what constitutes contempt of court. Not paying a fine is not contempt. Anyone who does not pay up is liable to have it collected through attachment of earnings or benefits. Perhaps if there are up to a thousand a week in court it could be time to bring back prison. That should focus minds.
    1
  6681.  @uingaeoc3905  I stopped reading when you said people are taken to court by the BBC. I knew at that stage you just don’t know the subject.
    1
  6682.  @uingaeoc3905  You claimed people are taken to court by the BBC. Which if proof that you don’t know the subject. A question. If you don’t know a subject is it better to say nothing. Perhaps not open you mouth & prove your lack of knowledge.

  6684. As long as his measures keep pollution down to a legal level he doesn’t need to do anymore.

  6686. Perhaps she she did it to up her man rate.

  6687. Sorry Andrew you are talking to a world that mostly is not listening. Should stop getting upset & just enjoy the party ?

  6688. YouTube can delete your comments. The BBC can’t. Have you been failing foul of YouTube’s terms & conditions ?

  6689. Perhaps time the bin men stopped trying to make their city look bad. But also good to hear that volunteers along with outside vehicles are working to clear the backlog.
    1
  6690.  @5hif7yx86  That’s what the police have been protecting protesters & getting it in the neck for it. No spare resources surrounding the Coronation so do what they always did around the Co-Op Hall on a Saturday night. Keep the too sides apart to head of a breach of the piece. Usual practice was. Driven down to the Station given a chat about staying out of trouble & let you go. Unfortunately theses days some people seem intent on trouble so police need to be a bit more robust.
    1
  6691.  @skyblazeeterno  It made a change from groups contacting the police saying we are going to ………. Then people on social media whining about the police apparently just standing round watching while they blocked roads & more. The police appeared in some was to be possibly even supporting them. The people complaining about that should be very pleased about the change in the law. But it just goes to show you really can’t please everyone all of the time.
    1
  6692.  @jonsmith5058  I & others expected to have the freedom to watch the coronation without interruption. I am pleased that the law has been changed to help make sure that could happen. If a few are put in a position where they are impacted so be it.
    1
  6693.  @grayzytube  Keeping people apart. Apparently not too much to ask. The police managed it.
    1
  6694.  @skyblazeeterno  You asked about why people couldn’t be kept apart. Can’t see a problem with my answer.
    1
  6695.  @mandywithell  The ‘Not my King’ demonstrators did have their own designated safe area with placards in Trafalgar Square. Is that something you missed ?
    1
  6696.  @mandywithell  I thought the police dealt with it very well. A bit reminiscent of outside the Co-Op Hall on a Saturday night. Being picked up by the fuzz taken down the station. In the end being let go with advice to best stay out of trouble. Looking back could of have gone to court. But I am not complaining that it did not end there. I am very happy that there is no longer the usual. Phone the press, Set out the glue yourself to the road or cause some sort of disruption. Before the law changed the police had to be there basically protecting them from members of the public wanting to give them a kicking. This triggered social media to complain that the police being there protecting them rather than getting the perps straight in the van. Looks like you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
    1
  6697.  @mandywithell  Perhaps some groups could be said to have triggered a change in the law. One group or other carried out action that closed the Dart Crossing bridge for two days. Something needed to be done. I know there are people willing to go for the ultimate trophy but even giving perps an hour to get down before becoming ‘fair game’ would be a bit extreme.
    1
  6698.  @mandywithell  I believe The Met doesn’t look at all incompetent. They did a cracking job. Removed a potential threat. Best of all saved the potential of expensive court cases resulting in people ending up with records. In other words defusing the situation in about the best way available. Perhaps not perfect. But I am not perfect either so can’t expect it from others.
    1
  6699.  @mandywithell  That’s all yesterday’s chip papers.
    1
  6700.  @mandywithell  It will do for me & many others. Can’t be doing with all this judgment of others. None of us are innocent so let those without sin throw the first stone. Didn’t someone say. Don’t judge others less you be judged yourself.
    1
  6701.  @mandywithell  Coined in the early 1940s specifically as shorthand describing people who have aWOKENn to the world’s inequalities and wishing to do something about it. Something I believe is a good thing. Anyone who does not could be displaying fascist tendencies.
    1
  6702. Which is a great pity. It would have stopped them being invaded. Meaning we would not be where we are now.

  6707.  @johndonson1603  Left wing ? Are you sure that they are not in the pocket of this Tory government. How can you look at the top people appointed by the Tories & still think the BBC are left wing.

  6708. Does that balance out claims that the BBC supports Hamas ?

  6709.  @house2homeplus511 Looks like you are claiming that they are real winners. Getting money from all side.

  6710. Not really sure why people are still moaning. We voted to leave the EU in 2016. We are stuck with it. People banging on about it won’t make a difference. The people have spoken. They spoke even louder when Bo-Jo said I will get Brexit done at the last General Election. We perhaps best get on with it.

  6832. Some in our family had said in the same situation we would involve the police. But because of people sticking their nose in we would not want any sort of publicly. Why ? Because that these days we would, on balance be better off without publicity.

  6840. There is no communism left. China calls itself communist but in reality it’s a dictatorship. Trump says he wants to be dictator for,day one. I believe anyone who believes him on this dictator for a day is mistaken.

  6841. Looks like China is becoming a better trading partner than the U.S.

  6842. End up as PM. The oik could not even get elected as an MP. He did become elected as a Member of the European Parliament. But he managed that by telling the people of the south east of England that he could stop the boats. He even failed at that little enterprise.

  6877.  @timwilcox960 My caution is down to having lost a sister in law & a friend to Covid-19. A mate has lost his brother in law & a member of the fishing club. One of my daughter’s team is in ICU. I see myself as being sensible.

    1
  6880.  @timhooper1557  Double, triple jabbed people are liable to be carrying a lower virus load & are less able to pass it on. I don’t would like to avoid Covid-19 altogether. I am going somewhere tomorrow. Wanting to keep their people safe as possible. They insist that I prove that I am fully vaccinated. Have an NHS verified negative test in the 24 hours before my visit. I also have to agree to wearing a face mask/covering while there. I am happy to say I can come up with theses things. You may come back & say they may loose customers. True but it will be people they & there’re customers actively don’t want.

  6881.  @timhooper1557  I prefer to take my advice from the likes of Prof Chris Whitty & Sir Patric Vallance. I can't help my skin colour & unfortunately even theses days have been the target of racist remarks.  I have the choice of who I mix with the same as you. I don't know about you but I stay away from anyone who may be carrying a weapon or anything that may bring me & those around me harm. Plus I like doing things that require me having an NHS validated negative test within 24 hours before the event. I don't wish to mix with people who are prepared to put others at risk. Something that I believe is perfectly reasonable. Do you disagree with that ?

  6883. A store has a duty of care to its staff & customers. If on balance the store wants a person to leave they just need to ask you to go. Not leaving when makes that person a trespasser.

  6895. Hides the user very well. But would a day glow red top make you safer when other people may be out hunting. I don’t know if it is true but most animals colour vision means they don’t pick up on day glow red they see it as grey. Also deer etc don’t carry guns. People may making then a greater hazard to your safety.

  6898.  @charsobishi  I only have hearsay. Which could be highly inaccurate. I am told a woman reportedly appeared to have been trying to perhaps trigger an incident of some sort. My London contact moved on before the attack & can not be 100% sure that the person attacked was the woman winding people up.

  6899. How is anyone going to be able to prove that bats had ever used the boxes ? Without that they are just fancy boxes installed without the appropriate permission.
    1
  6900.  @06howea1  It has to be shown that there is for least three months for a chance they have been used. Less than three months & there is no chance of getting away with that one. Refer to your local Bat Conservation Society for conformation.

  6902. Didn’t the U.S. health care system actually promote Fentanyl as the go to drug. It appears that overall the system has a a few systemic problems.
    1
  6903. They didn’t. The ATC has audio to back him up.

  6904. The BBC are reporting what’s happening in the world. Judging by the amount of comments. It’s something people are interested in.
    1
  6905.  @BedsitBob  A least you have the Boy Scout glow keeping people in work. If you reply confirming you don’t need a licence they won’t normally need to ask again for two years.
    1
  6906.  @BedsitBob  if you don’t reply you keep people in work.
    1
  6907. No thank you does not achieve anything in the long run. Capita are tasked with keeping the licence database. They need to keep asking. If the property does not need a license be open & just say so. Being obstructive may make you appear guilty.
    1
  6908.  @BedsitBob  The license status of a premises is not private. There is a database with legal backing. As you say appearing guilty is not an offence. But it could trigger further interest.
    1
  6909.  @BedsitBob  The U.K. government employ Capita to keep the database.
    1
  6910.  @BedsitBob  Check again I believe that it won’t cost the BBC a penny. Capita will be paying to keep people in work.
    1
  6911.  @BedsitBob  Why would you wish to cost the BBC money ?

  6912. Someone if know claim he has been abducted. He had given a teenage babysitter a lift home. Should have taken half an hour. Took him two & a half hours. Claims he had dropped her back to her dormitory. But had been taken & probed on the way home. Apparently numerous reports like this. So if you want to meet the aliens. Give the babysitter a lift.
    1
  6913. Why are you being so petty ? How much of the content of the piece is true. The inch of toothpaste seems a little dubious for a start. If it’s true about toilet paper I don’t blame him. Toilet paper rolls are becoming narrower. I expect to wash my hands after but narrow rolls mean increasingly having to wash something off that really should not be there.

  6921.  @rosekay5031  True, but when stating an option is it best to leave out something that may alienate a section of your audience.

  6945. YouTube has many videos encouraging people to break the law. The comments section is usually right behind them. Amazon shut down the stores PDQ. One reason for shutting them was outcry over the fact that didn’t have staff to take cash. Jeremy Corbin’s brother made a YouTube video. Complaining about it. Last time I saw it had about a million views. The outrage in the comments was very visible. Plus encouraging people to just pick up stuff without paying to punish the stores.

ULEZ has the democratic vote.

  7016. Yep. Russia perhaps shouldn’t have invaded Ukraine. Hitler invaded Poland & made it stick. President Putin hasn’t done it after two & a half years. Little wonder he is looking frazzled. President Putin has signed a declaration saying the US purchase of Alaska was illegal. That he will recover it for Russia. I somehow don’t see that happening.

  7045.  @Leo555ZZZ Very little electricity produced from coal in the U.K. Should be zero by the end of 2024. A friend in the U.K. ( about 50 degrees north ) installed solar panels & a Powerwall. He & his wife run EVs. He tows occasionally. Their return journeys are usually under 150 miles. Town & back is less than ten. They recon not having to pay for gas will pay for their panels etc in about 6/7 years. After that it’s win, win.

  7046.  @colingaskell9571  A mate and his wife both drive EVs.

  7047.  @xr6lad  When you think of horses for courses. It’s not funny that EVs are less prevalent in rural settings where long distance can be involved. EVs are more suitable for town & city use.

  7052. Fact that the DoaOLD has had said he may give away part of Europe to stop a war is a cheek of the first order. Putin signed a declaration live on TV. He says the sale of Alaska to the U.S. was illegal. Putin has vowed to return Alaska to Russian control. Is the DonALD going to hand over Alaska.

  7085. Nobody is forced to do anything that forces them to purchase a licence. In the U.K. it’s voluntary. In many countries the cost of the national broadcaster comes out of general taxation. Perhaps the U.K. could do the same. It would stop people moaning about something they are not forced to pay.
    1
  7086.  @mauriceosullivan6832  That’s your opinion. For me they are the go to network. For both radio & TV. The employer is not responsible for the staff’s private lives. The BBC cannot spy on staff anymore than your employer can have your private life investigated.

  7106.  @LostSoulNo301281  In that case there is no reason for you to have one. So can’t see why you are bothering..

  7107.  @robin9342  Nobody makes you pay if you don’t do anything that needs a licence. The choice is yours. The U.K. gives people a choice. Many countries don’t.
    1
  7108. @ Some people don’t seem happy with a system that relies largely on honesty. If I paid for a licence I would not be keen with anyone freeloading . So perhaps go to a system of adding a premium to phone and broadband bills. Do away with the freeloading.

Let’s face it chaps were always out to have ‘fun’ females were stuck with the fear of pregnancy. The Pill changed that. Some people to say that woman should not do that is likely displaying male double standards. According to Cosmo & other women’s magazines some young woman were making plaster casts of male genitalia to keep as trophies.

Nothing could be said until after a trail. The leader went to jail. None of us volunteers who even went with him for a beer had suspected a thing. But on reflection it explained why the lads in the group had been able to be very disruptive. We concluded that they may have known what was going on & effectively had the leader by the short & curly.

  7212.  @patrickdowney2523  What I believe I said was that the statement was self explanation. If appears perfectly clear to me. My good lady has now taken a look. Her take is that Virgina had decided enough was enough & that she wished to draw a line under the whole affair in order to get on with her life. Virgina has moved to another continent where most of the people round her may not know what had happened. Is it that lawyers don’t really care about Virgina and have decided to make money & a name for themselves. Now the world knows where she lives. Her current name & has seen photos & video as she is now. Is Virgina happy with that. It’s not clear that she is.

  7299.  @markjohn5201  How long ago did you tell them that the property is correctly licensed ?
    1
  7300.  @markjohn5201  They are under contract HM Government to ensure that all properties are correctly licensed. They are expected to check that their data base is kept up to date. You & I can expect a request every couple of years. All they need to know is is the property correctly licensed. If you don’t let them know they are contracted to keep asking.
    1
  7301.  @markjohn5201  They are contracted to the Government. They are legally obliged to fulfil that contract. They need to contact you to do that. How many other countries in the world have your old fashioned system that is so, so open to dishonesty ? I read the other week that up to almost a thousand people a month are fined for cheating which shows cheating is out of control. Much better to move for funding from taxation. Like they do elsewhere.

  7310.  @KevinChambers-te6if  I get letters to the legal occupier. Capita are under contract to the U.K. Government. With this in mind. Perhaps consider contacting your MP. If you write/email him or her they are legally required to reply. I have received replies in as little as six weeks but on some things it may be six months before they can answer a question. Depends if they need to contact other people/departments. Because the letters are computer generated & logged on the system. Not sure if you will need to supply the dates of the letters. My contacting Capita has been straightforward. I phone the free phone number with the letter’s reference number. Last couple of times it’s been an automated system with voice prompts. Just taken a couple of minutes.

  7312. @Helpmboab-ue5ck Sorry can’t remember. I only hear from them every couple of years. But according to people on YouTube there are up to a thousand people a month being fined.

  7314. @Helpmboab-ue5ck Nobody is forced to do anything that needs a TV Licence but. I expect everyone who needs a licence to have one. Why should people who are paying subsidies the cheats ? People have posted here that around 1,000 a month are taken to court & found to have been dishonest. It appears that expecting people to tell the truth doesn’t work. Perhaps there should be the equivalent of AMPR that checks automatically. Please explain any hypocrisy you see in that.

They longer need to have lights to qualify for a speed limit. Perhaps the powers that be did not take into account that it would lead to unlit vehicles being parked on unlit roads. Or perhaps they thought 30 limit, cars parked the correct way round not worth bothering about. In a town near were I live they now turn the side road streetlights off at midnight. Perhaps that’s on reason it’s important that cars are parked the correct way round.

  7376.  @janicewatts5888 That area has the same weather pattern each year. Like India has the Monsoon. Unfortunately the high surface temperature of the Mediterranean made it worse this year.

  7377. Not really riots. Just some rent a mob crims. Trying to create trouble. It has not worked. Instead of division communities are working together.

  7378.  @gillhall2777  Very unlikely the police will turn up for anything under £200.00 The stores don’t like having to do it anymore than you like it. But they can only loose a certain amount of stock before the store looses money. Wallmark has closed two of it’s four Chicago stores because they were loosing too much to shoplifting.
    1
  7379.  @tnetroP  Best of luck getting the Police to turn up. Usually under £200.00 they will tell you it’s a civil mater & you best sort it out with the store.

  7380. Can someone provide details of what Tony Blair is supposed to have done to garner people’s dislike ?

  7382. In the past we saw quite a few people from the US & Canada in UK tourist hotspots. Their numbers dropped off even before Covid-19. They seem to have been more than replaced by people from China & surrounding countries. Also before Covid-19 many large universities in Europe sometimes had more Chinese students than people from the home country. ( Something I found out from local tour guides asking. Which country has the most students in that cities Uni, ) There is large collection of designer shops on the edge of a small town near Oxford, England. The Chinese would arrive by the coach load. Between them they were reputed too often spend the equivalent of 400,000 US $ per day. People from North America have become obvious by their absence.

    1
  7395. Why do so many people turn to the BBC for US news.
    1
  7396.  @dylaninnes8541 Plenty of potential to charge EVs via solar. That’s how my mate & his wife normally charge theirs. They have a Powerwall as a load balancer. With only one EV they could sell power to the grid.

  7397.  @robbomax1143 True but at that time his supporters were not calling for civil war.
    1
  7398.  @robbomax1143  They have said it’s civil war if he doesn’t win. Possibly as an attempt to intimidate people to vote for him.

  7399.  @Mickyboi75  Serious. I have found that writing comedy or sarcasm are things I can’t manage.
    1
  7400.  @garydavid1788  Which comment ?

  7401.  @Mickyboi75  I am being honest when I say I can’t write comedy.
    1
  7402.  @andreaskarlsson5251  Yep. The BBC is more than one person. I also believe they are governed by a Royal Charter that requires them to be balanced in their output. That can upset some. Giving screen time to the flat earth people caused a fuss. But I saw as giving the rest of us the chance to see weird.

  7414.  @AlexKingsfallen  A bit of a pity you did not say that. What makes you think the police are evil bullies bullies ? My experience differs. They have always been OK with me. I am perfectly OK talking to them.
    1
  7415.  @AlexKingsfallen  Yes I did read that. But there is no real need to be afraid of life. I used to be a little that way but opening up has for me at least made the world a far better place. Also you say the police aren’t there to help us they are evil bullies bullies. You have not explained why you believe that to be the case.
    1
  7416.  @AlexKingsfallen  I have found being open works well for me. You still haven’t backed up your police are evil bullies claim.

  7417.  @AlexKingsfallen  You turning to insults makes you appear out of your depth.

  7418.  @AlexKingsfallen  You still have not convinced me that the police are evil bullies. Looks like you may have a different life experience.

  7419.  @AlexKingsfallen  Again back to insults. I have found the police to be OK. This includes fairly regular past contact & what I have seen while on jury service.

  7420. People who think ULEZ is illegal should take their complaint to the courts. Around 2.7 million people in London. If even half think it’s illegal just a pound in the hat there could be a million pound. More than enough to take court action. Why aren’t people putting money where their mouth is ?
    1
  7421. Why would they do that ?

  7432. A friend told the TV Licensing she no longer used any device to watch/record live or catch up TV & BBC iPlayer. They check the properties status with her every couple of years as they are contracted to do. Her take is that anyone who can’t be bothered to do their bit deserves all they get. The BBB’s normal advice is. Ignoring things is generally not a good idea.

  7439. How can the police effectively deal with what are effectively ’Flash Mobs’. In cause some disruption to catch on video. Then gone before the police have time to arrest them. Those few minutes video on the net trigger publicity. Why spend time in a police station when the internet will spread your message. Plus JSO use YouTube comments for misdirection. The public are triggered to see the police as the problem rather than them.

  7450. Have you not noticed. JSO wanted the police there until the law changed. They now work as a flash mob avoiding the police like a plague. Get in obtain footage of being assaulted. Put it out as publicly. No police involved means they are free to do the same again a couple of hours later.

  7466. Not being correctly licensed is no longer a criminal offence. Hasn’t been for over 40 years. No one is sent to prison for not having one.
    1
  7467.  @Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s  Good. Anyone not correctly licensed should be prosecuted. People who are correctly licensed expect it. One thing. Not being correctly licensed has not been a criminal offence for over forty years.
    1
  7468.  @Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s  That is for non payment of fine. Not for being incorrectly licensed. Prison is highly unlikely. Unpaid fines are usually collected through attachment to earnings or benefits. That way the money is collected. Which is the aim. Why put people in jail, that costs the taxpayer money.
    1
  7469.  @dizwell  A very good reason for being correctly licensed.

  7470.  @Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s  Nearly 1000 a week. I had not realised that they are so many dishonest people about.

  7472. Isn’t prison perhaps an expensive way of dealing with to situation ?

  7482.  @copferthat  Happy for the fact that the BBC has an excellent reputation for news, current affairs, entertainment etc. A BBC technical background apparently helps obtain well paid employment worldwide.

  7483. EVs need as much maintenance as your average washing machine. My friend and his wife both have EVs. With solar and a PowerWall they aren’t interested in returning to ICE.

  7484. It’s about reducing carbon emissions. EV is only a means to an end. Perhaps we could return to a time when there most people did not have a car.

  7485.  @RiverWhiskey07  15 minute cities are a great idea. Get us away from the world so influenced by automobiles & gas companies.

  7488. In that case perhaps be good to yourself & avoid the BBC. It’s your choice.

  7498. Correct. Rocket science is easy.

  7503.  @NorrinRaddNorrinRadd  I don’t remember us having a second referendum. I only voted in one. Remember it well because I would be away from home & entered a postal vote. When did that second referendum happen ?
    1
  7504.  @NorrinRaddNorrinRadd  I remember us voting to go into what became the EU I think it was called the Common Market at the time. Various treaties led us into what became the EU. We did not hold a referendum to take us into the EU. because it did not exist at that time. Thank you for thinking I am decades younger than I am. Please stop telling people that we had a referendum to join the EU because we did not. Also did you find insulting me really necessary.

  7506. More of our politicians think Nigel is right about putting people on boats & sending them on their way. People who want to go to the UK. Would it be best to buy them boats & help them get there. We don’t need to bother about the U.K. You even voted to send Nigel to the European Parliament to slag off the EU. You voted leave. We owe you nothing.

    1
  7533.  @MrMinima86  I really don’t know why people are kicking off about his employer. Yes he was charged but like all of us innocent until proven guilty. At that stage he was sacked possibly down to a clause in his contract about bringing his employer into disrepute. A chap I worked with was convicted of sexual assault. We knew nothing about it until someone from the village told me it had happened. He had told the boss he had a dental appointment. No mention of going to court. He kept his job.
    1
  7534.  @Reba-123  His lawyers defended him. The court found him guilty. I have no argument with that.
    1
  7535. There must be way of automatically checking. Something equivalent to the ANPR system. Save a lot of messing about with letters visits etc. With reports of up to 1,000 people being fined each month something needs to happen. Even if it’s just to free up some court time.

  7536. Many years ago I worked on the spanners. Near work there was a railway bridge. The road under it had been lowered to allow artics to reach a factory. During heavy rain the area under the bridge would flood. Over years we recovered many cars & vans. A significant portion ended up as beyond economical repair.

  7537. Our Nigel apparently has less money now than he had a while ago. Hasn’t he been taking his own advice about investing through him. His advertisements have said. The banks have been in effect ripping you off. Invest your money through me for a much better return. How come if he is so successful his bank accounts have allegedly dropped below the minimum deposit level ? If you invested through Nigel are you doing better than staying with the banks.

  7554.  @cloudbasenirvana Only a percentage of Welsh roads have 20mph limits. Drove to & from Llantrisant in Wales over Xmas & New Year. This included visiting the Golden Arches & Newport Rail Station. Did not see a single 20mph limit.
    1
  7555.  @eyesodd The only place I have seen 20mph limits on A roads is through some small Scottish towns.
    1
  7556.  @OleGitRule  I obviously did not take that route. Came off the M4 to the station then back to the M4. If I passed through a 20 limit I did not spot it.
    1
  7557.  @OleGitRule  I did not go in the station. Dropped someone off on the road. Still don’t remember a 20 limit. Not even when leaving the Valley Road to visit the Golden Arches.
    1
  7558.  @OleGitRule  If you are referring to the one just before entrance to Aldi it’s definitely not. It’s 10 mph once you enter the Aldi carpark but that is private land & not the public road.

  7559. Not all bad news Auto Trader has a YouTube video out featuring Tesla with 340,000 miles on the clock. Original battery still holding 80% charge.

  7560. What on earth does he mean by water being released.
    1
  7561.  @yorkshiremgtow1773  Brexit was supposed to herald a Golden Dawn. Enhanced environmental standards instead we get even more sewage in our rivers. Heath service so well funded waiting lists would melt away. Where did it all go ?
    1
  7562. No nor me.

  7563. Apparently China has woken up. Now decarbonising at an increasing rate.

  7564. What bias. People have complained that they support Harris others that they support Trump. Sounds like balance to me.

  7565.  @Kknzz  Yep. I agree with you.
    1
  7566. I am not a fan of his either.
    1
  7567. The BBC the same as other U.K. radio & TV providers are under the eye of OFCOM. Putting out false information can & has led to large fines or even loosing their transmission licence. If based in the U.K. Fox News would have been shut down very quickly.

  7568. Who is Boris Johnson ?
    1
  7569.  @slwide7507  Which Biden ? More than one in the news.

    1
  7574. @ They can publicise events. Plus encourage action by people in high places.
    1
  7575. Why on earth would the BBC be crying. This disagreement is providing copy.
    1
  7576. The BBC doesn’t take sides. Its charter prohibitions don’t allow it.
    1
  7577. So what ?
    1
  7578. looks like former President Trump will become the next Speaker. Even perhaps the next President.

  7579. When it comes down to it. The UN aren’t in a position to force either side to do anything.
    1
  7580. Has anyone actually seen this so called ‘propaganda’ video. Or have people allowed themselves to be stirred up with half truths. Is it video about Israelites on the Left Bank demolishing Palestine villages.
    1
  7581. I think he should be pleased.
    1
  7582. Has Russia said anything about even pausing their attacks ?
    1
  7583.  @ct5625  I have been sort of following this since the early 1960. The equipment which is roughly the same configuration seems no smaller now than it was then. Also in the past they could only run a test months apart. They managed to run it for six seconds. How long before the next test.

  7584.  @draganpopovic7959  He died in 1943. Not sure he is in a position to do anything

  7585.  @draganpopovic7959  Someone would have monetised by now it was there. Especially now we know so much about human driven climate change.
    1
  7586.  @clive4500  I would not hold you breath for a fusion reaction with net gain. In the early 1960s it was predicted to be ten years away. All these years later & they can still only run a Tokamak machine for six seconds. I did not hear anyone predict how long it will before they can run the next shot.

  7588.  @welshkatrebellion271  Thank you for the nice day & keep safe. On the licence front one of my pass times keeps me in contact with people from all over the U.K. As far as I know they are all law abiding citizens & those that need a licence have one.

  7590.  @SharonWard-dx1sv  How can you claim he did nothing for the U.S. ?

  7591. Perhaps because no one gives a monkeys.

  7592. Correct.

  7599.  @LewisClarke-jb8zw  Insults is that the best you can do ?
    1
  7600.  @LewisClarke-jb8zw  Why do people in the U.K. turn to the BBC rather than elsewhere when the is something like Harrods. ?
    1
  7601.  @captainbuggernut9565  On the whole. People in the U.K. appear to largely trust the BBC. It appears to be their go to place when there is something like Harrods.
    1
  7602.  @LewisClarke-jb8zw  One thing I have noticed. BBC videos garner plenty of clicks, comments & money.
    1
  7603.  @LewisClarke-jb8zw  More fun winding people up.

  7604. What about Ukraine ?
    1
  7605. How ?
    1
  7606.  @dibassarkar9182  So what if they do. But what has that to do with the BBC. Other than increased copy generates income. Making the BBC money men happy.
    1
  7607.  @onepiece_luffysgirl Then how come so many people call them the HAMMAS Broadcasting Corporation ?
    1
  7608. Donald doesn’t say much about Gaza. Used South as a distraction.
    1
  7609. Certainly that way in most of Europe. Russia & Poland not so much.
    1
  7610. Please tell me how can Global Britain turn back the boats without breaking international law ? You could send people back while you were in the EU but the U.K. voted to end that agreement. Is it any surprise that numbers have increased ? Is it a bit of a cheek to complain about something you voted for ?
    1
  7611. Might be easier for the BBC to just don’t report on the conflict. That we can forget all about it.
    1
  7612. Article 5 is something in the US Constitution. Nothing to do with Ukraine.
    1
  7613.  @cockneycharm3970  Perhaps come back when you know what you are talking about.
    1
  7614.  @cockneycharm3970  It’s your claim. Down to you not me to provide background.
    1
  7615. It’s a weather pattern they get every year. Rather like India’s Monsoon. Unfortunately due to high surface temperature of the Mediterranean this year’s is being very intense. Might be fine next year.

  7616. Who do you believe ?

  7617. Looks like this could be down to a guy. Although trying to stop a little European war. Has started a world wide war.

  7624. When will the Donald realise that the world has changed. Could walk away from the U.S. Evan dump the Dollar.
    1
  7625.  @muckle8  What on earth are you on about. In the end cash or card it makes no practical difference.
    1
  7626.  @muckle8  Yes I can monitor what has been spent using a card. I can tell how much & were I spent it. Unless you keep receipts & sort through them I would be surprised if you could tell me how much & where you spent money on 1st November 2022. Inflation at 50% I don’t see how cards could make that come about.
    1
  7627.  @muckle8  You have just proved beyond any doubt that you don’t know how business works. Perhaps take a business course before you show yourself in other places. No one knew that you are ignorant of business workings. You changed that by going on the net & proving it.
    1
  7628.  @muckle8  I do remember the change to decimal currency. How we took advantage to make extra profit. Partly through reduced costs plus bumping prices up a little. Happened all the way down the supply chain. If you are campaigning for a return to cash. You are although you apparently don’t know it. Also campaigning for higher prices. On a simple level cash handling is a lot more expensive than electronic transactions. Those extra expenses will ultimately be paid by the customer. It could also push a larger proportion of sales going online. You are in a hole. Why do you keep digging ?

  7641.  @laernulienlaernulienlaernu8953  I have spent time in Darlington, Hartlepool and surrounding areas in the last year. Looked really nice & property cheaper than down along the HS2 route. Wondered about moving up there.

    1
  7649.  @Hawkwinter13  Do you call it harassment when ANPR cameras are constantly checking if your vehicle has a Road Fund Licence ? Perhaps expecting people to be honest is a bit daft. There really needs to be the equivalent of ANPR for TV.
    1
  7650. @ You’re not stuck. Just buy a licence if you need one. It’s about time the U.K. introduced a system like the ANPR that checks if a vehicle being used on the road are correctly licensed.

  7661.  @Christlikelife459 Trump tough. I don’t think so. He told Kim I will not let you develop the bomb. Kim did that and rockets that can deliver them to US soil. What did Trump do. Rolled over and let Kim tickle his tummy. Something that proves we can’t even stop North Korea.
    1
  7662. I don’t agree.
    1
  7663. @curiositycloset2359It is true. The US healthcare system promoted is as ‘the go to drug’ Because the manufacturers fudged the test results it’s addictive nature wasn’t picked up until too late. The US healthcare system created the problem.

  7664. @ Two drugs then. Was it the same company producing both ? Was a problem also triggered by overprescribing.

  7665.  @carpet6986  The UK could send people back under the Dublin agreement. The UK electorate voted to end that as part of Brexit when they became Global Britain. Because you can’t send any back. Of course the numbers shot up. I bet your Nigel a member of the European Parliament didn’t mention that. But for him it’s the Brexit benefit that keeps on giving.

  7698. Shoplifting pensioners have been a problem since at least the 1960s. Very possibly long before then. In the days of the local paper pensioners often appeared in the court reports as being up for shoplifting.

  7703. That idea has it’s merits. All I would need to remember is a number issued in 1960 instead of the three different ones I have at present. One downside. It would have cost a fortune in replacement plates.

  7704.  @drdoom-skull2244  Company/rental vehicles could be a bit of a complication. Don’t know what is like days but about twelve years ago 50% of new cars were sold to lease companies. Then onto be rental or company cars. I did not own a car for years. I drove demonstrators. They were for sale. The shortest time I had a car was three days. I wonder how that works for the Swiss ?
    1
  7705. How did you swap the item without a till receipt. I do my weekly shop at ASDA. Both through maned & unmanned checkouts. I have not been given the opportunity to leave without a receipt. A receipt is your proof of purchase if stopped at the door.
    1
  7706.  @DeanoEssex  So why did you claim to have been taken to the office because they did not believe you ?

  7707.  @DeanoEssex  You said they took you to the office because they did not believe your story.

  7719. With shoplifting on the rise stores need to do something. I suppose they all could put prices up to cover losses.
    1
  7720.  @chrisrainbow2393  Correct false imprisonment is a serious offence. But no one is being falsely imprisoned. You can leave any time you want. But if you wish remove the goods. All you have to do is show that you have paid for them. Seems reasonable to me. All stores accept that there will be stock shrinkage. But only so much then reluctantly steps need to be taken.
    1
  7721.  @chrisrainbow2393  A store has every right to check you have paid for items before leaving the store. The store won’t stop a customer leaving so kidnap does not come into it. Stores are being pushed into this sort of thing. It’s all perfectly legal. But if you believe it needs looking at try a no win no fee lawyer.

  7733. For a number of years now new motorcycles have exhaust markings to confirm that are street legal. Replacement exhausts should also be marked up. I am pretty sure it’s one of the things checked on the MOT. People have been known to take the original exhaust off refitting them for the MOT.

  7751.  @paulosullivan3472  You need a valid reason to be carrying a brick. Or anything that can be used as a weapon. What made to majorly want tighter knife laws. Perhaps 100 deaths in London due to stabbings 2021 has something to do with it. If the police can’t pull someone for carrying a weapon we may end up with even more deaths.

  7752.  @paulosullivan3472  Do you believe that someone should still be able to claim legal aid in order that their legal representative can argue the 'I forgot I had it' claim. That is what did happen. Also do the police have the resources to send people out to find people with box cutters etc. I am not sure they have. On the political side I feel that the conservatives have not helped. But I also have to remember that we keep voting them in. Which could be seen as making it partly the electorates fault. Drug dealing is a good Thatcherist enterprise after all she did encourage people to find a market, supply it & expand your customer base & then defend it.

  7753.  @paulosullivan3472  When it comes down to the nitty gritty what you and I think of a particular law is neither here or there. The people have spoken. I am not keen on the national speed limit. It was announced as a temporary measure in the mid 1960s. The MOT did not exist & even though some of out cars & bikes were possibly a little unsafe we were regularly turning 85/90 mph. It feels unfair that even with modern machinery we can still only legally travel at 70mph or less. I suppose if law made me really unhappy I could move somewhere were the rule of law has broken down.

  7756.  @gravemind6536  You are correct the country has changed. In the 1950s we had 6 inch sheath knives as an accessory to our Boy Scout uniforms. A couple of us took throwing knives to school to play stretch at lunch time. All the school said was. If you injure yourself. Find you own way to hospital. We wold not even considered using our knives to stab someone. But that was in the days before violence was seen as the way to resolve problems. Some appears to be drug associated. Maggie Thatcher encouraged people to find a marketplace, expand & protect sales. She said there is no such thing as society. Is drug dealing a good Thatcherite enterprise ?

  7757.  @winnie6354  True. But think about it just how many cases do you hear of going to court ? Do the police have the resources to chase up everyone. There is also the Public Interest angle to take into account.

  7758.  @winnie6354  True. How many people go to court over it ? Would chasing everyone up be seen as a good use of police resources ? There is also the public interest angle. I personally don’t see the need for a fuss.

  7761.  @TimcPlays  The TV License people are contacted to keep a check on if a property is correctly licensed or not. If licensed that’s all they need. If not they have to ask. Unfortunately according to comments on YouTube and elsewhere many aren’t correctly licensed and/or are encouraging others not to. Basically saying hide from them & you can get away without being correctly licensed. Don’t know if it’s true because it’s something I have seen on YouTube. Nearly a thousand people taken to court each month implying there are many dishonest people out there. Asking people & taking their word for it seems a silly idea. With road vehicle license. ANPR cameras are checking that and a plethora of other things all the time. Why doesn’t the U.K. take it out of tax like they do elsewhere. Save a lot of bother. Plus cut out what appears to be a lot of dishonesty.

  7913.  @scotmacc  My analysis of your reply tells me you still have not come up with any solid evidence surrounding this meeting. If you do have evidence you should not be withholding it. I have a feeling that withholding evidence of criminal activity is an offence in its own right.
    1
  7914.  @scotmacc  I am not afraid of what I might find whatever it is. I am actively asking you for the proof of corruption. How is that trying to deny anything. So far no one is coming up with proof. All I have seen is unsubstantiated accusations.
    1
  7915.  @scotmacc  I don’t have to prove anything. I am not claiming the SNP are not corrupt. All I am asking is that people who claim what they saw proved there is corruption come up with some actual proof.
    1
  7916.  @scotmacc  I can’t but, I have not made that claim. I am not the one making unsubstantiated claims of corruption . Pity that you have to be left swinging in the breeze.

  7917.  @stewartwallwork6505  Won't stand up without evidence.
    1
  7918.  @MervynPartin  OFGEN has put a cap on how much per unit companies can charge households. The smaller companies run into trouble when the wholesale price exceeds what they can legally charge. The large companies through buying forward, selling to companies where they don’t have a price cap survive. Smaller companies who sell retail tend to go to the wall.

  7919. They are just reporting what is happening. Would you prefer to remain ignorant ?

  7920. Donald Trump doesn’t need to bother what people think.
    1
  7921. As a pensioner I saw it as a bit of a bonus. Best go to those who really need it.
    1
  7922.  @v.j447  I am certainly not am MTG fan but I agree with her about President Putin. He attacked Ukraine using the same excuse Hitler used for invading Poland starting WW2. But sorry to say the rest is just jumbled word salad.
    1
  7923.  @v.j447  I am not a fan either. But everyone is able to see things in a new light as a situation evolves. I see no excuse to dismiss her reasoned comments about President Putin.
    1
  7924.  @v.j447  She has apparently changed her mind on President Putin & has been big enough to admit it. Can’t knock her for that.
    1
  7925.  @snakeplissken526  It could also prejudice the defendants change of a fair hearing in front of magistrates. Who are effectively the jury.
    1
  7926.  @snakeplissken526  It may be worth you referring to the Black Belt Barrister’s Youtube video on the subject.
    1
  7927. The Empire supplied more troops that the U.S.
    1
  7928. I don’t. Please tell me.
    1
  7929.  @chrisstokie2361  Why do I feel you may be telling a fib.
    1
  7930. Those two things weren’t found until after the event. Unfortunately or fortunately the police can’t search your home. On a fishing expedition.

  7931.  @janeyre49  Here an I thinking that the orange baby is divisive. Dark Brandon is a much better at thinking to benefit all.
    1
  7932. I did not see the BBC ripping off anyone. There is a story. They sent a reporter. How is that ripping anyone off ?
    1
  7933. Presenter talk too fast for me. I stopped watching when she used the f word.
    1
  7934.  @johnreilly4722  Thanks for the recommendation.
    1
  7935.  @DK-dq8bu People can’t be jailed after a private prosecution.
    1
  7936. Didn’t former President Trump say that he would never allow North Korea to have nuclear weapons. North Korea gave him the finger on that one. If he could not stop North Korea getting nuclear ICBMs how on earth he going to stop the Ukraine war ?
    1
  7937. The Republicans blocked the border bill. They wanted trouble there for their own ends.
    1
  7938.  @DaveZee823 Not been into Paris since the late 1960s. I had been warned that Parisian’s were unwelcoming. Should have taken the advice and stayed away.
    1
  7939.  @mrskeltal3281  Very likely true.
    1
  7940. No.
    1
  7941. What do those facey things mean ?
    1
  7942. A relatively plus a couple of old mates have been inside. They didn’t describe prison as being like a 4* hotel.
    1
  7943. It’s the BBC,s job is to report.
    1
  7944. A democratic vote put him there. Are people really suggesting that vote should be overturned.
    1
  7945.  @nickthompson1812  I would be fine with that. But is there legal way of doing it. Perhaps the voters were a little slapdash in their due diligence. But. He is there by the will of the people.
    1
  7946. Not your Government. The electorate voted for Brexit resulting not being able to send people back to the EU. You got Sovereignty back but was it worth it ?
    1
  7947.  @FrancescaBridges  Ever been coned ?
    1
  7948. NATO has been very careful not to involve itself. If Ukraine had been a NATO member Russia would not have invaded.
    1
  7949. 51% hardly a landslide.
    1
  7950. Can’t miss it on their radio, TV & internet site. According to the BBC the police are looking at mental health rather than a terrorist act.
    1
  7951. Where have Labour said that.
    1
  7952.  @SimonStep23  The BBC are banned for advertising in the U.K. The rest of the world is a different matter. Would you expect UK licence payers to fund the rest of the world.
    1
  7953. Did what ?
    1
  7954. Food is provided very much on a budget. Not at all a ‘hotel’ experience.
    1
  7955. Many years ago someone known locally as Elixir Sue reportedly fell into the local river. Despite searches at the time no trace of her came to light. About 12 years later one of the Turpin family ended up over a bride parapet into the same river. During the search for his body Sue’s remains were found. Her body had become trapped under some tree routes only to be revealed by erosion.
    1
  7956. True but. It’s a pity that Brits left the EU and with it the Dublin agreement. Something that kept the numbers down.
    1
  7957.  @JohnofthefamilySmith Sorry you forgot the tax cuts for the rich. But on the flip side you appear to have forgotten the job losses.
    1
  7958.  @bowN0m0re Better safe than sorry.
    1
  7959. Bo Jo did not actually deploy water cannon.
    1
  7960. I have a feeling that some police training & refresher courses leave a little to be desired.
    1
  7961. I will miss watching Lauren Boebert’s acting. I suppose she could move to Europe as a stand up comedian.
    1
  7962. Looking through the comments I have formed the impression that a lot of people don’t take note of what is happening around them.
    1
  7963. Not sure I would call Christian’s the religion of peace. They have a despicable record.
    1
  7964. Possibility because Nigel’s advice helped lead to Brexit. Which meant leaving the Dublin Agreement. Which surprise, surprise has led to a trebled number of boat people.
    1
  7965. The border is the way the Republicans like it. They blocked the Border Bill because it suits them. They use it as a weapon.
    1
  7966. @ Yep.
    1
  7967. Perhaps because many people are sick of constantly hearing about it.
    1
  7968.  @Mike-tb5gj  Sorry to hear you have lost £10. But on the plus side it’s one person no longer driving on the roads.
    1
  7969.  @Mike-tb5gj  Not really the same since the introduction of the ‘temporary’ National Speed Limit. We used to hurry up between transport cafes on the bikes. The 70mph limit stopped our fun. I now tend to ride/drive for relaxation.
    1
  7970. What on earth are you talking about.
    1
  7971. Do you use a phone both smart & with fairly new OS. If not you won’t be receiving alerts.
    1
  7972. Why do you Brits think it’s all about you. It’s happening all over so perhaps stop whining.
    1
  7973.  @markymark7803  70 million is a lot less than 8 billion.
    1
  7974. Get a life.
    1
  7975.  @John-wx6wj  Well said sir.
    1
  7976.  @katrinaDS  Perhaps they believe you are talking tosh. The same as you appear to think about them.
    1
  7977. Haggis.
    1
  7978. Is Texas Paul sure that the US still has the worlds strongest military ?
    1
  7979. The bad people are perhaps ones buying drugs. People stop buying the sellers fade away.
    1
  7980.  @sedg03  Nobody has to buy their product. The whole drugs thing would collapse without a market.
    1
  7981.  @jacobburns3515  Perhaps if the US manufacturers had not aggressively marketed fentanyl in the first place we may not have the same size problem. Most people caught at the border are apparently US citizens. Following a good capitalist system of finding a market. Supplying & growing a market.
    1
  7982.  @GIBBO4182 The BBC have reported it on BBC TV, BBC Radio & BBC News website.
    1
  7983.  @GIBBO4182 Perhaps try the BBC. They have reported it on BBC TV. BBC Radio & the BBC News website.

  7984.  @pepperpower1652 aWOKEn to the ills of the world & wishing to combat them is aspirational.

  7985.  @pepperpower1652  aWOKEn.
    1
  7986. Many of us do it. At renewal the insurance asks how much is the vehicle worth. We give a figure. Checking on line later usually shows we have over estimated it’s worth. Insurance will normally pay out on a vehicle’s actual worth rather than what we think it ought to be.
    1
  7987. To a man so strong a woman is playing him like a fish.
    1
  7988. Does the US have a problem with lawyers who drag things out to increase their income.
    1
  7989.  @Argentunquercus But looks like you did make it up.
    1
  7990. Not reported. So what. They didn’t report my mother’s death either.
    1
  7991. Will you volunteer to complete the paperwork ?
    1
  7992. Looks like a lot of people won’t need jobs. Board and lodging payed by the state.
    1
  7993. @VonRyansExpress So am I. Very glad.
    1
  7994.  @esther-nw6im it’s part of.
    1
  7995. Don’t know about anyone else. I am bored still hearing about Hunter Biden.
    1
  7996. Can’t answer for anymore of their stores. But that does not happen at Inverness, Leamington or Doncaster.
    1
  7997.  @Jim--Bob  I don’t believe you.
    1
  7998.  @Jim--Bob  I am willing to be convinced otherwise.
    1
  7999.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  Hasn’t our Nigel deserted us already. Gone to the USA to help DJ Trump. How long before he does a stroke of work for his Clacton constituency.
    1
  8000.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  Not what is doing the rounds in the U.K. Determined to cosy up to the Donald. Rather than return to a run down town. Where his constituents may expect him to do things for them. Rather spend time in the U.S. playing the big ‘I am’.
    1
  8001. From were I stand online shopping killed the high street. I do a supermarket shop. But apart from that why go into town ? I can sit in my chair & search huge warehouses in a short time. Why go into town. Pay for parking. Spend hours searching only to come away empty handed.
    1
  8002. What lies ?
    1
  8003. ⁠ @stockpicking5686 Trump and Vance are such twits. Pity the minerals are now going to Russia.
    1
  8004. Jail. Only if they are found guilty of something that merits a custodial sentence.
    1
  8005. Depends on your contract between you & the power company. In this instance looks like you are in the best position to answer your own question.
    1
  8006. I am fully prepared to believe that mask wearing makes a difference to the transmission rate.
    1
  8007. What makes you feel is wrong with the report.
    1
  8008. Scared ?
    1
  8009.  @ianhawdon3680 I had not realised he had been in a groomer gang.
    1
  8010.  @andyhoward940  The evidence to back up your statement is ?
    1
  8011.  @andyhoward940  I don’t have any evidence to support your claim. It’s your claim. You provide the evidence.
    1
  8012.  @jjefferyworboys8138  In the U.K. you don’t have the freedom to incite violence.
    1
  8013. What on earth has that to do with the BBC ?
    1
  8014. If you believe the BBC is spreading misinformation saying so here may make little difference. Report it to OFCOM. If the BBC is spreading misinformation they are legally obliged to do something about it.
    1
  8015.  @kevfit4333 You sound as though you take an interest. Are you looking for someone to share that interest ?
    1
  8016. My parents & other relatives taught me that it does not mater who is at fault if I walk out into the road & get knocked down. It’s ultimately up to me to watch out for my own safety.
    1
  8017. At least it should increase her man rate.
    1
  8018. Climate change. It may be natural. Whatever it is affecting food production.
    1
  8019. Possibly because it’s being going on longer. Also Ukrainians did not start the war. Not like October 7th.
    1
  8020.  @cybersal7 Sounds like our Nigel may have been a little naughty.
    1
  8021. President Trump said that & unfortunately too many believed him.
    1
  8022. Yep.
    1
  8023. TV personally Donald Trump has on big disadvantage. He hasn’t really changed his act in years & it’s become stale.
    1
  8024. Could help keep down the price of your next purchase.
    1
  8025. Not obvious to me & I suspect others. Please elaborate.
    1
  8026.  @fatmanjstyle5306  Why should I believe you.
    1
  8027.  @angr3819  A perfectly reasonable question. Not everyone waits until they are old enough. I had driven for about three years on private land. But at 15 my wide boy uncle let me drive unaccompanied in his Healey 100-4 on the road. I was not old enough so that sort of thing does happen.
    1
  8028.  @angr3819  Looks like you are not very good at hiding.
    1
  8029.  @fanfeck2844  But we don’t know why his account was foreclosed. It’s all speculation.
    1
  8030. Build in the 1950s they will have been past their collapse by date.
    1
  8031. There won’t be a nuclear response.
    1
  8032.  @Scrooge1Percenter Russians have threatened nuclear since they discovered Ukraine is not standing alone.
    1
  8033.  @Юрий-д9ъ8й  No proof needed. But if I am wrong it will be all over in a flash or two.

  8036.  @Miichael-b1j  Hello ( inset Russian name here )
    1
  8037. @ The first Russian armoured group that went in from the north didn’t have a clue. Reportedly told expect cake and flowers. Instead casualties.
    1
  8038. President Putin has said he intends to return Ukraine to Russian control plus move further west. Returning some Baltic states to Russian control. Apparently the sale of Alaska was illegal. His stated goal is to get it back under Russian control.
    1
  8039.  @andrewkemsley2630 Possibly ask to people you have named. How do intend to keep London’s air quality within the U.K. legal limit.
    1
  8040.  @noahdunaway  Which god is that. The world has about a dozen fairly major gods.
    1
  8041.  @lunafringe10  Wonder, a marvellous thing.
    1
  8042.  @noahdunaway  If that’s your belief fine. But you still have not said which one.
    1
  8043.  @noahdunaway  Any proof on that sunshine ?
    1
  8044. It’s it is not run by teenagers. The Board are all middle aged.
    1
  8045. I am very surprised to say on this occasion that I agree with DJ Trump. We have a saying in my country. If you can’t do the time. Don’t do the crime. Saying I forgot I had it on me is just an excuse. The saying about excuses is. Friends should not need them. Strangers just don’t believe them.
    1
  8046. Good.
    1
  8047. What loss ?
    1
  8048. Over 15 million subscribers to this channel alone.
    1
  8049. What about them ?
    1
  8050. Most of the public are revolting. I would not give them house room.
    1
  8051. Also graves to be prepared in Russia. All because President Putin decided to copy Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Didn’t end well for Hitler & Germany. Putin may end up doing the same for Russia.
    1
  8052. @ You just said it was not. Make up your mind.
    1
  8053.  @BritishAnts Do you have any proof ?
    1
  8054. Are HOA sometimes a mixed blessing ?
    1
  8055. Nigel is always unhappy and slagging off others. That’s all he knows.
    1
  8056. Why would Israel let the HAMMAS Broadcaster into Gaza ?
    1
  8057.  @andrewtrip8617  Disrupted weather patterns are already being to affect food production.
    1
  8058. How would they do that ?
    1
  8059. It’s not the discredited Bo-Jo we should be listening to. It’s the likes of Pro Chris Whitty we need to take advice from.
    1
  8060.  @david4096  I have only seen reports of his upcoming visit to the U.K. Did not mention a visit to Russia. But also did not say he is not going there either.
    1
  8061.  @scots_knight4706  I have seen some of British pantomime. It would perhaps do Ron De good to see some. Learn that it’s just not threatening.
    1
  8062. Not very good odds on that bet.
    1
  8063. Your U.K. government can now do sod all within the EU. They could for decades but your electorate voted to end that.
    1
  8064. Sounds as though you may be one of Trumps beloved undereducated.
    1
  8065. I feel sure that the BBC doesn’t believe it has the power to stop Putin. In fact the very idea is ludicrous.
    1
  8066. Trump knows that windmills cause cancer. I’m sure he will get rid of them to stop it happening.
    1
  8067. When did teenagers take notice of parents. I learned at 14 from the family’s 18 year old groom.
    1
  8068. Perhaps the mighty Russian war machine will look foolish once again,
    1
  8069. @ At least they would show Russia up one more time.
    1
  8070.  @Pining_for_the_fjords  I had presumed it was Russia wanting to invade yet another European country. The very thought that the Danes are looking for war with the U.S. is so ludicrous it didn’t even cross my mind. But I suppose if the U.S. were to attack the Danes have allies. The great Russian war machine has already shown just how good it isn’t. The same could happen to the U.S.
    1
  8071. A lot of cash was spent on the Space Race. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to enter a HSR race with the Chinese ? Have they so much of a head start that it’s not worth bothering.
    1
  8072. Accurate reporting is what I expect from the BBC.
    1
  8073. He doesn’t have to make it. Possibly just past January. Could they put him out to golf. Leaving JD Vance as President.
    1
  8074. Fake news.
    1
  8075. Why not ?
    1
  8076.  @VPPAF Are you claiming she didn’t come from a G7 country ? The EU is not a country.
    1
  8077.  @VPPAF The EU is collation of countries. Doesn’t mean she is not from a G7 country. Germany and France.
    1
  8078. I have feeling that Ms LB & Ma MTG may go down well on the European comedy circuit.
    1
  8079. Who funds the BBC.
    1
  8080.  @JohnofthefamilySmith  I have now been told is the U.K. TV Licence payer. It’s in some ways like Netflix in that no one is forced to buy a licence.
    1
  8081.  @jpgoat5488  BBC Radio 4 Today, PM & their news programmes along with Alegzeea more are more reliable. I find the BBC & Alezeera between them are a good resource.
    1
  8082. This comes as more or less a direct result as voting leave. What else did you expect ?
    1
  8083.  @bobdamon9370  If the FBI have the evidence why would they need to search anywhere ?
    1
  8084.  @ericcooper1709  I would expect a special advisor to the First Minister to be copied in. He/she needs to know what is going on in order to give advice. Keeping them out of the loop would be bad practice.
    1
  8085.  @ToIsleOfView Perhaps pass all land back to the First Nations.
    1
  8086.  @danielsharp3683  The First Nations were put on Reservations so it will be easy to find their ancestors. Give it back. If you don’t wish to do that is there anything in the Constitution that says you can sell you property to anyone. Failing that is there anything to stop you selling your property to the highest bidder ?
    1
  8087.  @tracyjohnson5023  Why should they just give out money when States voted against other States getting money for the same type of thing. Do you give large amounts of money to just anyone without have a say in how it’s spent. If you went asking anyone for money would you expect it to be handed over no questions asked ?
    1
  8088.  @tracyjohnson5023  To me common across the board standards sound sensible. One suggestion on how to save tax dollars is because AI computers will read to us & take dictation there is no need to teach people to read & write.
    1
  8089.  @angelshalo06  smh. According to Wikipedia there are at least ten possible meanings for smh. Possibly better if a machine read it out rather than deciphering text.
    1
  8090.  @tracyjohnson5023  They don’t appear to teach how to use Log Tables or Slide Rules anymore. What on earth are people supposed to do if computers & UPS units go down.
    1
  8091.  @angelshalo06  All you need to do is ask Alexa or the upcoming AI. Unless you can't afford the Tech. Then reading & writing may be useful.

  8092.  @angelshalo06  If that is your choice so be it.

  8093. The government doesn’t need to make any excuses.

  8094.  @slayerrocks2  The Liberals and Greens don’t supply copy to the same extent. Where is the story about Elon Musk giving either of them $100 million dollars for a start.
    1
  8095. Your here. So your defo watching BBC.
    1
  8096. Does this sort of thing normally go to Magistrates Court ?
    1
  8097.  @spencereagle1118  There are times when you can elect for your case to go before a County Court rather than the Magistrates. If found guilty the sentence may be higher. Your legal team should explain the risks.
    1
  8098. Yet many see the BBC as right wing puppets. How has Joe Biden been dishonest ? We have been hearing Hunter’s laptop for years. Anything criminal would have been clear by now.

  8099. The Welsh don’t want English people stealing their work. You won’t be missed.

  8100. @secondchance6603 Doesn’t anyone bother attending council meetings were these things are discussed ?
    1
  8101. @secondchance6603 Perhaps emigrate. Or vote for people who promote openness.
    1
  8102.  @apocalypticweasel9078  20 kph is only 12.5 mph. 20 mph makes delivery easier & safer. But I don’t see bringing the limit down to 12.5 mph will make further improvement.

  8103. BBC just doing their job and reporting. Not taking sides.

  8104. Don’t see it myself.

  8109. Not.

  8111.  @svartvarg9778  Did you mean to say North Korea ?

  8112.  @melanisticmandalorian  Does the Republic of Ireland want Northern Ireland. They aren’t making noises in that direction.

  8113.  @melanisticmandalorian  I am listening & that’s how I know they don’t really want to restart the troubles.

  8114.  @melanisticmandalorian  Perhaps go back & read it again.
    1
  8115.  @melanisticmandalorian  I don’t agree. Especially from someone who doesn’t seem to have grasp on the subject.

  8116. The police have to gather evidence before they can do anything.
    1
  8117.  @johnrea2115  The strikers will militant about it so evidence ease to gather. Just walking slowly on a road has to go on long enough to prove then guilty. That they are not just being a bit slow crossing the road.

  8119.  @lkearney7299  I believe it did go to roads etc at first. Name changed after its role changed. The role of National Insurance is still much the same.

  8121. Why would they cry. It’s all good income generating copy.

  8122. Who is Andrew Tate ?
    1
  8123. Perfect UK English. She is not using American English. People’s divided by a common language.
    1
  8124. Didn’t HM Gov change the the law to make Councils outsource. So the only way a Council can keep their direct workers is to prove it’s cheaper than outsourcing.
    1
  8125.  @mintimperial1762  Councils are required by law to outsource unless they can show it can be done cheaper in-house.

  8126. What a load of tosh.

  8130.  @northumbriabushcraft1208 Why didn’t they cut his money. After all no longer needs to pay Council Tax & utility bills.
    1
  8131.  @O.O.O.K999 An acquaintance visited this barge when it was moored in Lerwick to house workers. It was apparently far from luxurious then with only one per room. Bunk beds have reportedly been fitted making two in each room.
    1
  8132.  @consultant2678 Usually run down hotels. Also they don’t get a ‘hotel’ experience.

  8133.  @O.O.O.K999  Sorry to hear you are in a position to think they will be luxurious quarters. I hope your finances improve.

  8134. @ A couple of months ago there were complaints that pensioners keep getting above inflation rises. That most have money coming out of their ears. Can’t have it both ways. Which do you prefer. Moneybags or poor .

  8135. ISIS It was us.
    1
  8136. @ President Trump arranged the timing. Then did not tell anyone in the Biden Administration about the agreement made with Afghanistan & the Taliban.
    1
  8137. Has anyone used the Freedom of Information Act to find out what’s been happened in court. Or do we have part truths being used as click bait.
    1
  8138.  @ghostman1931 Kamala is like Maggie Thatcher she will run rings around Putin.
    1
  8139.  @Umbrella2  You will find out come November. At least she won’t be falling apart before our eyes & handing Alaska to Putin. Putin has signed a declaration on TV. It say the sale was illegal & he is going to return it to the Russian people. Don’t forget bone spur Donald said he won’t allow Little Rocket Man to have nuclear weapons. He got them before our Donald left office.
    1
  8140.  @ZZXGRT77  Being talked of in the same breath as Joe Biden is a compliment.
    1
  8141.  @ghostman1931 Strong. Someone told Little Rocket Man. I will never let you have nuclear weapons. He had them before Trump left office. Trump rolled over and let Kim tickle his tummy. Call that strong ?

  8142. I do not agree with your assessment.
    1
  8143. I don’t agree the BBC are helping expose what is going on.

  8144. I have seen many racist comments surrounding ULEZ.
    1
  8145.  @stevenbatley8666  Is that your excuse for racism ?
    1
  8146. No one was apparently very interested. Professor Jim Al-Khalili of Surrey University. Had a series on the BBC. He also has a couple of books out on the subject. So the BBC can’t be accused of hiding it. If anything should be thanked for doing their bit to publicise the subject.
    1
  8147. This is what the country voted for. Even more so at the last General Election when Bo-Jo used the 'Get Brexit Done' mantra. I did not vote to leave but like the every one else I am stuck with it. I have decided to stop banging my head on the wall & just make the best of it.
    1
  8148. Trouble is once people make it into U.K. waters we are stuck with them. As I understand it international law says we have to consider an asylum claim if they make one there is sod all Prity Patel can do about that. If their asylum application fails we have to prove were they came from in order to send them back. If we can’t prove that & no one will except them no mater who is in charge here we are stuffed. Nigel was a member of the European Parliament. But he seems to have forgotten the international laws that I believe apply.

  8150. A friend went the Tesla solar panels with PowerWall route. Pricey to set up but worth it. I am surrounded by tall trees so not for me.

  8151. It will need big pharma to bring it to market.

  8152. I don’t see them that way. Been with them since 2016. They are a bit pricey but apart from that fine.

  8156. Weak Biden couldn’t do it but. A strong Donald Trump will tell Putin. Get out of Ukraine and pay reparations.
    1
  8157. Neither Egypt nor Israel allow a large number of aid trucks to go in. If they did would be no need for airdrops or a temporary pier on the Gaza beach.

  8162.  @kevinb9830  Nat West offered but instead of accepting he threw his teddy out of the pram.

  8163. I have been seeing these signs in Europe for sometime. Usually in English. Possibility because it’s the language that most international customers can understand.

  8168.  @Nanny6999  Looks like we watched different videos because I didn’t see any of that.

  8169.  @silveriver9 The Biden administration is looking after infrastructure. Unlike the Republicans who voted against the infrastructure bill.

  8179.  @Sp00kyV0id  Apart from the fact it does not work. ( family experience) what about shock therapy ?
    1
  8180.  @sgtderp1  As a U.K. resident my experience of the NHS has brought me to a different conclusion. The only mandatory road insurance is more or less just public liability. People can choose greater cover if they wish.
    1
  8181. Interesting. Were did all the bodies go ?
    1
  8182. Brits got reduced tariffs. While others didn’t. What’s wrong with that. I think they should be pleased.
    1
  8183. Why would the BBC be sad ? All these clicks & comments mean more money.
    1
  8184. Yep. As you say the French are good at this sort of thing.
    1
  8185. Word is that water cannon can not be used legally in the U.K. It’s a pity no one checked their legality before purchase.
    1
  8186. Why would she know answers. Because she knows what she is talking about.
    1
  8187. Donald Trump promised he would not allow North Korea to become a nuclear state. He broke his promise.
    1
  8188. Seems a good way to go.
    1
  8189.  @stuartosborne3013  it’s all relative. I remember 8 pints of Red Barrel for a pound. Don’t forget the cost down to sabotage. Someone has to pay up. Members of the public causing the damage. Only fair that the public pays for repairs.
    1
  8190.  @stuartosborne3013  Slightly different note. Largely because properties are generally so poorly numbered.I find it easier to deliver in a 20 zone. All the delivery vans round her are EV.
    1
  8191.  @stuartosborne3013  Sorry I should have said all the ‘supermarkets delivery vans’ are EV. The postman says his next van will be EV.

  8192.  @joeblack1126  I am all for Antifa it’s a pity people like them did not do more to stop Hitler. Would have saved many lives.

  8194.  @patricklee6206  Where are the written records of his existence ? Or his supposed parents.
    1
  8195.  @patricklee6206  I don’t give a monkey’s about any of the sources. They just don’t have solid evidence. They are all just stories pushing a narrative.
    1
  8196.  @UNIVERSAL-UR I feel the same way. My account is over a decade old.
    1
  8197. Best have a system where economic migrants can get into work & pay tax.
    1
  8198. Tucker appears to forget about the white Europeans who moved into what is now the US. Displacing the First Nations often using violence & things like smallpox to clear people out of the way. White Europeans appear to think that Reservations are a good thing. Why not move to Reservations to make way for the latest incomers ? I personally favour integration.
    1
  8199. Trump did not win in my eyes. Harris was the adult in the room. Trump came across as a petulant looser.
    1
  8200. Looks like he has you worried.
    1
  8201. It may worth broadening you your search. All the MSM along with social media are reporting the same thing.
    1
  8202. Why on earth should the French take just anyone arriving on U.K. ships. Many speak English, a product of Empire. Britain walked into their countries uninvited. Taking that into account why shouldn’t they just walk into the U.K.
    1
  8203.  @oldgamer1299  But that appears to be the point for many. The British walked into many countries without being asked. Often used violence to do it. What goes around comes around.
    1
  8204.  @oldgamer1299  Britain is perhaps lucky that thy are are not following the British lead & turning up armed.
    1
  8205. Just how much could you mention in under four minutes.
    1
  8206.  @iamrocketray  Sounds about right. Plague is reportedly still about in the west of the U.S. Not the killer disease it used to be. Covid-19 may well go the same way. Perhaps like The Plague Covid-19 may stop killing so many people. It has not been so good around me. I lost a sister in law & a mate. Another mate lost his brother in law & one of the fishing club. Plus as I write this one of my daughter’s team is in ICU.

  8207.  @nigratruo Good question.

  8208.  @GlasPthalocyanine  The TV Licence payer. I am one and have not found them pro Hamas. They always describe them a proscribed terrorist organisation.

  8209. @ I don’t see myself as a chosen one.

  8210. Do I remember the US Administration taking a look at the U.K. reneging on the Northern Ireland Brexit agreement. Then say the U.K. has proven you can’t be trusted.
    1
  8211. Has the rest of the world reached the stage where they can just bypass the USA.

  8213.  @dwu9369 Don’t sound like a good deal.
    1
  8214. Come on let’s hear the punchline.
    1
  8215. He has been an a Trump rally stage on YouTube in the last couple of weeks. Doing his isn’t Trump wonderful act and likening Reform to the MAGA movement. The comments section made it look like MAGA people are very anti U.K.
    1
  8216. How can the communist win. They haven’t got anyone running.
    1
  8217. These truckers have been given enough rope to rack off large sections of the community.
    1
  8218. CNN appears to at least try to give all potential candidates a chance to speak. Ben could be taken as suggesting censorship. My respect for Ben’s opinion has taken a nose dive.
    1
  8219. Anybody who keeps getting letter after letter has only themselves to blame.
    1
  8220. Who are you talking about saving ?

  8221. Who can’t ?
    1
  8222. Best get your shovel out & help the work along.

  8223.  @roybali99  Yes President Putin was a bad boy for starting this Hitler type invasion.

  8224. What is a normal person ? If net zero & beyond is not achieved the changing climate will affect all living thing.
    1
  8225.  @olivergrumitt2601  Who said it would reduce living standards. Didn’t they say the same thing about the coming of the horseless carriage ?
    1
  8226. Why don’t the European invaders go home & free the First Nations from the Reservations.
    1
  8227. Do you have proof of that ?
    1
  8228.  @christophercarey3232  That sounds a tad like Stalin. Don’t think he could be called right wing.

  8229.  @stephenparkes9543  People applying asylum are not allowed to work. It’s illegal for them to work. It’ll also illegal to employ them.

  8230. I know Starmer won’t take any of Trump’s nonsense but. Is that reason to become so excited ?
    1
  8231. The police can’t send anyone to jail. It has to go through the courts before that can happen.
    1
  8232.  @dalegribble9101  While in the EU Britain could send people back. The U.K. electorate voted ending that arrangement. So surprise, surprise numbers crossing shot up.
    1
  8233.  @RS-ln3ns  He is human & British. If he wasn’t British he wouldn’t qualify as a candidate. What you are shouting is some people are against him because they are racist.
    1
  8234. The slow walking in front of traffic appears to be aiming to swamp the police, Crown prosecution service & courts. Where JSO’s highly paid lawyers will come up with some people’s inalienable right to protest arguments & claiming wrongful arrest.
    1
  8235. The BBC appears to trigger clicks & comments. How much do they earn from that.
    1
  8236. These days JSO use flash mop tactics specifically to avoid the police. They are out for a quick for a quick video op. Being around long enough to be arrested stops them popping somewhere else an hour or so later. Perhaps other groups should learn from then & avoid the police like the plague.
    1
  8237. Just reporting the facts.

  8238. The BBC have repeatedly reported about him over the years.

  8239. Good on him. The vaccine should perhaps have been pushed harder.
    1
  8240.  @juliesharp5077  I know the vaccine was what appeared to stop people dying round me.

  8241. It’s not hidden which I have explained to you more than once.
    1
  8242. Good. I don’t like him but. I like to know what he is saying.
    1
  8243. Good !
    1
  8244. Here’s me thinking they are supporting Donald Trump.
    1
  8245. Biden didn’t in invade so how could it be Biden’s war. Putin invaded. Donald Trump did say he could end the war in 24hs. Making himself a hostage to fortune.
    1
  8246. Is our Donald working on the sympathy vote.
    1
  8247. But Putin invaded. People should be applauded for helping the invaded. Not for helping the invader.
    1
  8248.  @leoelis1  They were a mistake.
    1
  8249.  @leoelis1  No I didn’t.

  8250.  @leoelis1  Too big for my opinion to have any impact. So. What, me worry ?

  8251. Are your sure that she is not speaking in a comedy club. Sounds like a comedy audience rather than a church.
    1
  8252. How long before it’s announced that the courts can’t touch Elon. Could claim. I am working to the President’s orders so can’t be touched.
    1
  8253. Is it true that in the real world DJT stocks have crashed.
    1
  8254. Looks like many people are not old enough to remember random testing of the four minute warning sirens. Why so scared about something that has been pre announced.
    1
  8255.  @A.Froster  Wickes will be a flash in the pan. Brexit a totally different matter. That won’t be so soon forgotten. Big bus gave the impression. Vote leave & the health service will have money coming out of it’s ears. Turns of that was inaccurate. Is that going to be forgotten in a hurry.
    1
  8256.  @ForeverEverlasting. Come to that which of the worlds many gods.
    1
  8257. @ Sounds entirely sensible to me.

  8260.  @redbeard3923  You say not Dover. So which ones are you talking about.
    1
  8261. Russia and the U.S.are they heading the same way as the British Empire ?
    1
  8262.  @TaaxiCaab US beer sometimes leave a lot to be desired. I recommend German beer. The Germans are very particular about the ingredients.

    1
  8266.  @garyoakham9723  U.S. fertility rates have fallen below replacement level. We need workers.

  8267.  @nr619  So how can kidnapping be protection.
    1
  8268. Why would the BBC be sad ?
    1
  8269.  @JohnnyCaruthers  This reply hasn’t been deleted. Why would the BBC be sad. They provided a balanced report. Both from the court & from Ms Begum’s supporters. That’s what they are there for so no need for sadness.
    1
  8270.  @JohnnyCaruthers  I watch the whole thing. They had footage from the court & as balance footage from a supporter. Why do you find that a problem.
    1
  8271. If they are discriminating against the dishonest I am all for it.
    1
  8272. Is it anywhere near true that if just invented gas powered vehicles would be deemed unsafe. Meaning we would all be driving diesel.
    1
  8273. I hear the U.K. have & they are not even in EU.
    1
  8274. They were only small millpond type dams. Would not have made a blind bit of difference. Like all over Europe flood defences have been enhanced.

  8275.  @PD-ek3cu  What is an underage girl doing out late enough to miss the last bus. At 15 I had to be in bed by 21.30hrs.
    1
  8276.  @darrensmith4279  You appear to be able to read my mind. So Is that rather a daft question ?
    1
  8277.  @Towers-28 How does he intend to stop Ukraine. So far he has only talked about giving away a part of Europe. Europe isn’t his to give away.
    1
  8278. As a Party Leader the BBC gave Nigel Farage air a screen time equal to the other leaders.

  8280. Which she ?
    1
  8281. I missed that. Which countries were those ?
    1
  8282. My mate & his wife have two. They also bought their EVs second hand. They have solar & a PowerWall so don’t charge from the grid. Apparently EVs require way less maintenance than their previous ICE vehicles.

  8283.  @thesheepman220  It’s the truth. Unfortunately I am surrounded by tall trees or I would go the same way.

  8285.  @WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS But isn’t it about having too many elephants. Want people to hunt them for trophies.

  8286.  @LTPottenger ULEZ has clear democratic mandate. Two people who promoted it in their manifesto received over 90% of the votes in the last Mayoral election. The Mayor kept his word.
    1
  8287.  @OrNoodle Yep a big win for Putin. I am sure Trump is a Russian asset.
    1
  8288. I would be worried about having work done by someone who could not afford a decent vehicle.

    1
  8292.  @Iseekthetruth2024 what on earth are you on about.
    1
  8293. They did. One of the first things Trump did on entering office firsts time was. Renege on the deal.
    1
  8294. August 2023. Nearest Spoons used to be very busy 14.00 to 17.00hrs on a Friday. Not any more. Now no trouble getting a table & food arrives in no time. The Weatherspoon magazine does not mention Brexit whereas it used to push leave.

  8295.  @HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings  Public Service Broadcasting for me.
    1
  8296. No a flood wall collapsed.

  8297. Trump proved he has no backbone. He caved in to North Korea over nuclear weapons.
    1
  8298. Who is this ‘they’ of which you speak ?
    1
  8299. Sounds like you don’t spend time watching, checking their web channels or listening to BBC radio.

  8300.  @Anythingwilldo296  Why. Trump winning will generate increased revenue.
    1
  8301. @ Whai, me worry ?
    1
  8302. Coined in the early 1940s WOKE is shorthand to describe people who have aWOKEn to social & racial inequality. I wonder about people who use it as a term of abuse.

    1
  8306. The police don’t refuse to move them.

  8307.  @JosephB-tv7gf  Are they starting to give protesters enough rope to hang themselves. Sometimes better than rushing in half cocked.

  8308.  @JosephB-tv7gf  JSO’s ‘Flash Mob’ tactics don’t even give the police time to arrive. Why would they risk a trip down the police station. Much better be free to ‘Flash Mop’ a few miles away.

  8318. She has had a long apprenticeship. In a very successful administration. That the positions she has held previously make her ideally qualified. Also someone who has passed a Bar Exam she has extra qualifications. Didn’t President Trump tell the world that he would stop Little Rocket Man from developing nuclear weapons. Before left office LRM has not only developed Nuclear he had rockets capable of delivering them to US soil. Trump made the U.S. look weak.

  8385. @ Yep very dangerous for Putin. It’s a shame that it showed that the US President can’t even stop a little European war.

  8393. @ That’s tosh. He has not disrespected the U.S. The thing that surprised me was. Trump allowing JD to finish any chance of a U.S./Ukraine minerals deal.
    1
  8394. @ Zelensky was defending himself against a pair of bullies. I respect him for it. The U.S. lost the minerals deal. They could may well end up in Russian hands. To the detriment of the U.S. Not only has the President not stopped the war he has proven he cannot keep his temper in a tight spot. The leaders of China, India, Russia and others will have spotted that weakness.
    1
  8395. @ The deal wasn’t signed. The minerals can go elsewhere.

    1
  8446.  @Atmost11  l personally see no reason why Americans should wait for India & China to do something. You as where was my talk of India & China leading when George Bus invaded Iraq. I don’t remember them coming into the equation so they would not have even entered my thoughts. Have you followed Scotty Kilmer. He has over five million subscribers. The majority from the US. Most of them appear convinced that climate change is BS. I can’t fight the world so rather than fight I have decided to enjoy the party while it lasts.
    1
  8447.  @Atmost11  I agree that Climate Change appears to be real. But too many people claiming it is BS. Just a story put out to control the population & take away ‘Freedom’. That it is being talked up in order to bring about serfdom under the WEF.

  8457.  @lolzlolz69  People are bound to moan unless the National Broadcaster is taken into Government control like Russia. Also take it to the logical conclusion like they have in Russia. Close down anyone that does not agree. This BBC idea cannot win. Some say too right wing. Others say full of pinkos. Then there is the full Oxbridge types. When they try to address that they are called out for trying to be inclusive. Some long time presenters now leaving saying they want their own views to the fore. Rather than having to show balance. The U.K. could take the US route. But look at the problems with that. Much better the Russian approach.

  8458.  @margo.3466  Because ISPs have to log use there is already a way to know just what people are watching on internet connected TVs. All it needs is a quick change in the law & it could be used by TV Licensing.

  8459.  @joesophie90  I can second that.
    1
  8460. I personally don’t see it as a racket. When everything is taken into account it’s good value for money. A friend has followed the process to show that she does not watch or record live TV or use iPayer. That even not having a license her property is ‘correctly licensed’. Because she could have died, moved away etc the TV license people check every couple of years to confirm that the property is still ‘correctly licensed’. The people who keep being contacted appear to be the ones who have not confirmed that the property is ‘correctly licensed’.

  8461.  @jeekels  You have freedom of choice. It’s a bit like a motor vehicle you pays your money and takes your choice.

    1
  8463.  @BedsitBob  Listen to you saying I can’t complain. Why can’t you complain ?
    1
  8464.  @BedsitBob  But it’s like using a road vehicle if you don’t drive/ride you don’t pay. Effectively the same with the TV license. In that respect I can’t see what you are moaning about. I personally would in some ways favour the Russian system were funding comes through general taxation. But even that appears to have imperfections.
    1
  8465.  @rog3833  They have not fitted my friend up. She let the TV license people know that she does not watch live TV or BBC iPlayer. In her case she not having a license is ‘correctly licensed’. They now contact the property every couple of year to check that it is still correctly licensed. Let’s face it in those couple of years she may have moved, died or even decided to start doing things that needed a licence. She apparently feels because it’s so easy to deal with can’t see why people get upset. That the only people who should get worked up are those who aren’t correctly licensed.

  8496.  @alastairmcleod3635  It would not be legal to refuse service because they are Irish or many other reasons. But is perfectly legal to say you will not serve someone without giving a reason. Banks are part of the service industry. Making business serve people that don’t want to sounds like a dangerous road. Recycle yards among others have to be very careful who they deal with.
    1
  8497.  @iannoble404  Correct you can not do that. But it’s perfectly legal to tell someone you don’t want the business. Customer facing staff are trained to not give a reason. The person who has been turned away often assumes they know the reason. But thinking you know something will not stand up in court.
    1
  8498.  @greabo9544  The bank reportedly asked him his opinion. But did they give that as reason for closing his account. If they did he may have something. If he just thinks that’s the reason he won’t have a leg to stand on in court.

  8499.  @whenisasnakeatail4933  But we don’t know why the bank foreclosed his account. It could be down to something that could effect their banking license. The church & it’s employees have not always been guilt free. If it’s down to something that could lead to a court case the bank has to stay stum. But I suppose people not knowing makes room for speculation.

  8500.  @whenisasnakeatail4933  They don’t have to give a reason. In fact there could be good legal reasons to say nothing. But at least we all have plenty of room for speculation

  8502. @Alan-gx8gf I don’t can’t remember the law. The fact that you did not have too give someone a reason for refusing to serve them and never speculate on a reason came up in training. If word came down from above you just did not serve them & asked them to leave. If they did not leave they became a trespasser. A while back there was a TV series about a shopping mall. Possibly in Coventry, UK. They had facial recognition cctv. If someone fagged up as being banned security escorted them from the building.

Also with head injuries. One thing to remember was either have the sun visors fully up or down. They were very stiff & could slice the top of your head off in an accident.

  8546.  @GlasPthalocyanine  People complained about items lasting only a few months. I mentioned that if still in the EU there would be a statuary 2 year warranty. Don’t know if it’s any use but. eSpares sell microwave paint. They also sell much more that can help extending the life of many items. P.S They also have many on line how to do it videos.

  8557. My wife received a letter referring to an empty property. She found it useful rather than threatening. She used the info to contact Capita & let them know the situation. ( A rebate arrived in her account within a couple of working days. ) 18 months later & not heard a thing. Capita are charged with keeping the TV licence database & are expected to check at least every two years. When the next letter arrives she will let them know if the location needs a licence or not. She found the letter useful & that only a snowflake would find them threatening.

  8558.  @AW-pm7tr  Perhaps they did not read them fully. Our school kept telling use. Make sure you read something fully before carrying on. Not reading something & taking the effort to understand can lead you to fail an exam. The same goes for most things in life.

  8578.  @strangelee4400 it would be useful if all employers inc the BBC had access to our home computers, mobile phones etc. it help head off the sort of surprise we had at our workplace. If a customer hadn’t said. I heard Tim has been found guilty we would not have known anything about it. Turned out a customer had been sexually assaulted in works time. But she hadn’t reported it to work. The firm did not know that he was going to court. He had told the boss that he had a dental appointment.

  8582. Not sure how this door to door business would go down in the U.K. We sometimes have exit polls when someone will ask who you voted for as you leave a polling station. You are not obliged to answer. But one thing they are not allowed to do is ask who you are. Our voting for Members of Parliament/councillors etc is a secret vote. I don’t know about other families but even my wife & I don’t know who the other voted for.

  8686.  @Charlie-oz6ob  If the contract you have agreed to says a third party has right of entry they have right of entry. If you won’t let them in they can gain a court order. If you still don’t let them in they can turn up with a locksmith & gain lawful entry that way. Just like they did when fitting pre paid meters. One of the reasons we employ the police is to keep down lawbreaking. If someone gives the impression they may breach the peace the police may attend. Nothing difficult to understand there.
    1
  8687.  @Charlie-oz6ob  If your contract states that you have to use the suppliers meters you have to use their meters. If that’s the case replacing their meters would be in breach of contract. Possibly best check contracts. If you don’t want to be bound by them just don’t enter into them. The days are long gone when a wet signature is needed.

  8688.  @Charlie-oz6ob  Is that going to apply when dealing with a leaseholder ?

  8702.  @stratocaster9631  Most people in Europe tend to favour manuals. The price of fuel along with increased fuel consumption pushes people towards manuals. Also because we had so few automatic cars getting the gearboxes repaired could be a problem. Auto boxes also tended to fail taking vehicles beyond economical repair. As an aside. I used to ride horses more or less every day. Until I jumped on a motorcycle. I discovered that it went where I pointed it. Does not shy for nothing. Stops when I want it to.. Has never bolted. No livery charges & vets bills. No need for a horse box to travel any distance. Bikers turned out to be a lot more fun than the horse set.

  8703.  @stratocaster9631  I take it you are not from the U.K. where people who pass their driving test in a manual transmission car came drive both manual & auto cars. People who pass the test in an auto can only legally drive automatically transmission cars. If they wish to drive a manual they need to retake the same test but in a manual. Anyone with a auto only driving licence is seen as less skilled. Internal combustion engine vehicles are still being sold. I spent decades in the retail motor trade. People are being it bit tight with info but it looks like the largest proportion of internal combustion vehicle buyers are opting for manuals. Driving school cars are still mostly manuals. Passing the manual test brings greater options in the future. Can’t say I am keen on driving autos. They never seem to be in quite the right gear. They only one that impressed was an auto V12 E type Jaguar. My first car along with many others was a second hand four seater family saloon. Engine size about 850cc. Someone with a little more money would purchase something with a 1000cc engine. Cars with 2000cc engines were owned by bank managers etc. I am talking about a long time ago. The U.K. was still broke after WW2. Our Road system was basically medieval with added tarmac. Small cars meant auto boxes were not an option.
    1
  8704.  @stratocaster9631  A bit different in the U.K. we’re the official figures show that autos normally achieve fewer miles per gallon. I took the test in the very early 1960s. Correct use of the gearbox was quite a big part of the test. Getting it wrong could contribute toward a fail. I worked for decades in the motor trade so drove many cars. Sometimes in an exuberant manure. In powerful cars kick downs could get you into trouble & sometimes lead to spin out. My preference was for four speed manual with overdrive. Harder work but much more controllable and gave greater satisfaction. I have not driven an auto for over fifteen years. I expect auto boxes have come on a lot since then. My favourite car of all time. Austin Healy 100/6 with overdrive. Favourite auto V12 E type Jaguar. But that was because it really looked the part. Least favourite car. Aston Martin DB 5. OK for impressing people but not at all nice to drive/work on. ( They often needed to be worked on. )

  8733. I like to watch or record live TV. I am OK paying for a licence. I did prefer a period when because of my age I had it for free. Some people thought that age discrimination. Which I suppose it was. I also pay road fund licence for any vehicle I am using on the road. I have the choice. For a couple I don’t use it on the road I don’t pay road fund licence. I don’t have to buy a TV licence if I don’t record, watch live TV or BBC iPlayer. I have freedom of choice as to wether I need a licence or not. So not sure where to notion of being forced to have a TV licence comes from. I thought that not having a licence had been decriminalised years ago.

  8789. Don’t know why the U.K. still gives people the option to contribute to the National Broadcaster. Only seems to cause confusion. Best take the funds from taxation. Plus it would spread the cost per person. Russia does not have a separate TV license & I don’t hear complaints from there.

  8821.  @Jimmyredcab  I do not blame doctors for not wishing to become involved in exemptions. For one thing they are available on eBay and other places making them totally discredited. I don’t have a problem with doctors appointments. Face to face about every six weeks & telephone in between.

  8895. Not sure the Brand comes into it. Is this situation something to do with the station’s Petroleum License ? Letting the pump be used may risk loosing the license.

Others said that once left the EU the health service would have money coming out of it’s ears. Again so, so much better than Europe.

That along with a lot of towns being first build sometimes a 1,000 or more years ago has nudged us towards smaller fuel efficient vehicles than those seen in the US. The vehicle density is also greater than the US. Leading to visible pollution haze that can sometimes even be seen hanging over the sea betwixt England & France. On balance high fuel prices are a good idea.

That was often to have the test done on a mates car when they knew theirs would not pass. That is one reason a VIN number check came into being. Sometime even swapped wheels & tyres with a mate. Again changing back after the test. It was a rural area so people would be in for fuel etc so I know it happened. But as a tester all I could do was test the vehicle as presented.

  9016.  @richardkinghorn4729  I support the reunification of Ireland. The leave vote makes it almost inevitable. Not sure the leave voters twigged that voting leave would stop the U.K. being able send thousands of boat people back to France. Once that stopped it should come as not surprise that the number of boat crossings increased. Some people still have not twigged that it partially the result of their leave vote. I also have a photo of the Big Red Bus. What happened to all that money people thought would be going to the NHS. . How many considered that the ERG would just love to junk laws they don’t find advantageous. To replace them with ones that suit their members ends. The leave vote hardly had overwhelming support at the time. Only just scraped through.

  9042.  @MacAdvisor  Can’t get new right of way in Europe ? Try looking at HS1 & HS2 in the U.K. HS1 built as a totally new line from London to the Channel Tunnel. Three new lines from The Tunnel across France one into Belgium. HS2 is in the process of being built along a completely new alignment from London to Birmingham with trains due to run at 200mph. Europe is promoting totally new HSR lines. The idea that HSR city centre to City centre is faster than. Flying airport to airport & the needing to make it to the centre. HS2 will be largely under ground as it leaves London. If you doubt my word look for HS2 YouTube videos. Plenty there showing the line under construction. If Europe can do it why not the US. China has thousands of miles of high speed rail. No good the US even trying to catch up with them.
    1
  9043.  @MacAdvisor Sorry, you appear misinformed about Europe rail. The European high speed lines are predominantly rights of way that are not historic. HS2 is a prime example of this. Take a look at HS2 YouTube videos & you can’t miss that it’s totally new except for a short stretch on a redundant alignment as it heads into Birmingham. New lines are the norm in Europe. They need to be because it’s very difficult to run 150/200 mph trains on the existing twisting & often hilly track alignments. If old dying European countries can build international High Speed Lines lines it’s disappointing the USA can’t.
    1
  9044.  @MacAdvisor  You told me we could not do HSR on totally new alinements in Europe. That is just not true. If you look at YouTube videos of the U.K’s HS2 you can’t miss the fact. Yes in the London end it starts at an expanded Euston Station with its connections to the London Underground & major bus routes. It leaves Euston via new tunnels. Next stop is Birmingham Interchange. For Birmingham International Airport and National Exhibition Centre. The line then turns toward Birmingham city centre. It joins an old alignment terminating at Cuzon Street Station. Cuzon Street was the terminal for the original London line. Birmingham ended up with three stations with direct links to London. The other two lines won out & Cuzon Street closed in 1966. The still standing old entrance hall is a grade 1 listed building & we be incorporated into the new station. Birmingham will once again have three rail links to London. We in Europe get racked off with US citizens telling us we are an old and dying continent. When it comes to new rail the US is the one apparently stuck in the past not us. Anyway I wish you luck. Take care.

  9045.  @MacAdvisor  We do not normally piggy back on existing track beds. I suggest you come over to Europe and look for yourself. Have you actually looked at any of the U.K.s HS2 videos. Are you just making things up. Or possibly in an oblique way calling me a liar ? The two existing London Birmingham lines run. 1/ From Euston to the to the east of the Chiltern Hills and north through Rugby etc to Birmingham New Street. 2/ From Marylebone Station west to Reading again by passing the Chiltern. Then in a northerly direction through Oxford etc to Wood Street Birmingham. HS2 is being built from Euston straight through the Chiltern Hills in a northerly direction mission bypassing towns heading to the Birmingham Interchange. On a separate route to the existing lines. Only crossing them on the approach to Birmingham to the rebuilt Cuzon Street Station. By the way. Was there an existing right of way for the freight line that now runs across Asia from China’s main manufacturing zone into Germany. How about China’s around 25,000 miles of high speed. Did all of that have existing right of way. Possibly not because they are putting stretches of their lines on viaducts over clear ground to save on land purchase costs. If the right of way existed why the need for the viaducts.

  9046.  @MacAdvisor  Sounds like you may not have come across Compulsory Purchase. Government decides were a new line is going. The land is purchased either by people/companies taking the money to go away or the land needed being Compulsory Purchased. Not sure the British are as happy with their rail as you are.

  9091. @ I watched him sign the declaration. It was part of a big event where he also promised to bring some of the smaller east European countries. Former members of the Russian Empire back under Russian control. There is a way out of it without a fight. The U.S. could agree that the sale was illegal. Just hand it back without a shot being fired and no loss of face. Makes sense in a way it’s only a short sea crossing between Russia & Alaska. No Canada in the way.

  9111.  @akoola7853  As far as I understand the subject. You are correct. You don’t need a licence to own a TV. But do need one to watch/record live TV or BBC iPlayer. The same goes if you use any other device to watch/record etc. TV licensing are tasked to keep an up to date register of the each property & it’s license status. They are supposed to record if a property is correctly licensed. If nothing is happening that needs a license not having a license means that it is correctly licensed. Unfortunately if people don’t tell them they need to keep asking.
    1
  9112.  @hamshackleton  How can anyone know about a properties current license status status. If you had been employed to keep track. If a property does not have a license. How would you do it without asking every couple of years. Vehicle’s vehicle road fund & insurance status are checked automatically via ANPR cameras. Could we install something in each property to carry out TV license checks. Save keep needing to ask.

  9113.  @twig3288  I did have a shotgun license. And it was liable to be checked to, from & at a shoot. The police could also turn at my home at anytime. To check that I have the guns listed. ( serial numbers & that you have no more cartridges than allowed. ) The gun/guns & cartridges have to be stored in approved safes. I also had to check & document who I sold onto. The police will then follow up the sale.
    1
  9114.  @twig3288  My last comment started. I did have a shotgun license. A question. What does holding a shotgun license have to do with needing a TV license ?
    1
  9115.  @twig3288  Not 100% on how it is done now. But in my shotgun days the police could pop round to carry out an inspection anytime night or day.
    1
  9116.  @twig3288  Just a thought. As a gun owner it was my duty to contact the police about any changes. Not up to them to write to me.
    1
  9117.  @twig3288  You appear to be suggesting that the TV licensing people should be able to turn up at anytime. That they could enter your property. Go through your TV paperwork & ask you about your viewing habits. I could be totally incorrect but. Not sure you will have many people on your side.
    1
  9118.  @twig3288  There is another way. You can’t buy a gun without producing a license. Also you have to produce a license to buy cartridges in order to use it. With internet connected devices perhaps make it that they will only display live TV etc after a valid TV license number is entered. That way nobody can cheat. Also no chance of a child/grandchild getting their relations getting into trouble because they have say. Watched live football on a phone, tablet, laptop without a covering license. Single parent is no excuse to dodge a license. I spent eight years as a single parent. What I could not afford I did not have. Can’t see why single mothers should be any different.

  9119.  @twig3288  It is not a BBC licence. It’s a TV license !

  9120.  @twig3288  I can’t make out why you appear so bothered about something you are not forced to pay. It’s your choice whether you do something that requires a licence or not. The world does not end if people don’t watch live TV or iPlayer. The human race survived 10s of thousands of years without them. Perhaps you would be happier if the National Broadcaster started being funded out of taxation as it is in Russia.

  9139. A relative who lives in Kent suggested that the reports of lorry queues are overblown. I took a look yesterday. Driving down the M20 I spotted signs for two pre customs paperwork check points. I called in at Stop 24 a motorway services & truck park. There is a purpose built paperwork check facility just inside the door from the lorry park. Three drivers were having their papers checked before they proceed to the port. Doing it that way problems can be solved before they even reach Dover. I then drove on down the M20/A20 before at about 15.00hrs turning right onto the A2 at the entrance to the port. How many lorries did I see queuing to get into the port. None. Perhaps it was a slow day but not a single lorry queuing to enter the port.

  9140.  @flitsertheo  We keep being told there are continual queues. I found that not to be the case.
    1
  9141.  @flitsertheo Things are not good. I did not think they would be so I voted stay. But can not forget that the majority voted leave with all the problems that would bring. Yes I agree that Sunday can well be a quieter day. But we are continually being fed the idea that there are massive queues to get into Dover Port. I saw a comment about a week ago were someone even claimed the queue stretched back thirty two miles. That would have meant the back of the queue would be around Madestone M20 Services. Seeing that & listening to my relative who lives in Kent I decided to make the effort & look for myself. From now on I am going to take claims of massive queues with a pinch of salt.

They no longer want groundlings like me. I can’t blame them because we have been wrecking the place. I would be interested to know where that would buy the land to relocate a city.

But one subject that does not seem to come up is the very real problem of bodily waste disposal. What are the options when a site is used for even a few days. If they are appropriate tips on the siting & construction of composting toilets would not go amiss. Lilly seems the sort of person would could pass on the knowledge and skills to deal with this waste issue.

  9294.  @blkted2945  I have not defended her. My point is that other Karen’s harassed her place of work. Nobody seemed to have a problem with that. Hence the double standards comment. Perhaps the people hounding her workplace should have minded their own business.

Capita deal with all of that as part of their contract with the Government. Meaning it’s a little unfair to slag off the BBC over the licence letters.
    1
  9317.  @personalcheeses8073  Because it’s the truth. If you notice it not called the BBC TV licence. The government pays the BBC. The licence money doe not go straight to the BBC. The BBC apparently doesn’t even get to see who does & who doesn’t have a TV licence.

  9359.  @WildTrek This thing about no democratic mandate is tosh. Action on cutting vehicle pollution appeared on two Mayoral candidates manifestos. Between them they picked up over 90% of the vote. The person who became Mayor picked up over 50%. He is now honouring his commitment actually doing what he promised.
    1
  9360.  @WildTrek It totally possible to vote the Mayor out at the next election. He received over 50% of the votes at the last election. The person who came second and also promised action on vehicle pollution polled over 40%. Meaning over 90% voted in favour. It could change after the next election but. The city would still need to find a way to meet it’s legal obligation on vehicle pollution.
    1
  9361.  @WildTrek  It is possible to vote the Mayor out. But he got back in polling over 50% of the votes last time. It appears that ULEZ is popular with the electorate. London is not the only UK city with low pollution zones. Manchester is keeping pollution down by cutting access to all vehicles.

Unfortunately the only two possible solutions are to shut those parts down or for people to by choice stop using them. Above ground pollution can be cut. The Underground even with the millions spent is stuck with what’s left. People do have a choice about entering the Underground. That same choice about breathing is not there above ground.

  9405.  @briancarno8837  President Putin pulled the same sort of stunt as Hitler when he invaded Poland. But there is one big difference unlike Hitler who overstretched himself. After more than two years Putin can’t make his invasion of one country stick.

    1
  9489.  @MikeEves  Not the same at all. But I am willing to hear & consider your reasoning.
    1
  9490.  @MikeEves  Not like that at all. It’s like the road fund licence only pay if you need to. Road fund is checked by ANPR cameras. At the moment. If a property does not hold a license the only way to ( as far as enforcement goes.) check if a property correctly correctly licensed is to ask. This system relies on people’s honesty. With info from internet connected TVs many properties are not correctly licensed. As soon as the great proportion of TVs are internet connected a quick tweak of the law will mean no longer any need to ask. The TV itself will supply the information.
    1
  9491.  @shaneord7527  If you are out fishing a water bailiff or the venue will check your license. So I can’t see the analogy. People have no need to be sent regular letters from TV Licensing. They receive them because they in effect choose to. It’s not really funny to see people receiving regular letters. It’s often taken as shorthand that there could be financial problems or people are just dishonest.
    1
  9492.  @shaneord7527  Correct. A personal choice if a property replies or not. The TV licensing are under contract to the Government to keep an accurate register of a properties licence status. If you say you don’t have a license because you don’t do anything that needs a licence. Unless there is reason to think that may not be the case they take your word for it. But to keep their end of the contract with the Government & bearing in mind circumstances can change they still need to check every couple of years. Does not matter that you are interacting with a private company. They have a contract to honour.
    1
  9493. They didn’t appear to be complaining. Just reporting.
    1
  9494. Why would anyone want war. Unfortunately Russians decided to invade Ukraine. President Putin is quite open about his intention to push to the west. He has signed a decree live on TV promising to take land further west. He also signed to say that the sale of Alaska was illegal. He is also going to return it to Russian control. Will Donald hand half of over to avoid a fight.

  9527.  @davidprimeau3368  The only way NATO was involved in the in The Bay of Pigs was to censure the USA. It was definitely not NATO sanctioned. The idea that NATO is surrounding Russia is a figment of the imagination. Looking at maps will tell you that. President Putin seems to be pulling the Russian people’s legs. Yes two more nations have joined NATO. But that came after President Putins act of aggression invading Ukraine.

  9579.  Ben Gunn  Also at the time a .410 shotgun was classed as a ‘garden gun’ meaning that were 13 or over you could us it on private land without a licence or supervision. The ATC also took 14 years olds onto the range with 303s and a big metal box full of ammunition. The lads who were used to shotguns at home knew how to hold them & even after a couple of hundred rounds did not end up with bruises. I have a feeling that the rounds were about to run out of date & that the ATC shooting them down the range was the cheapest way to get rid of them.

Available on most tables in the eating area. Kept going on how not having to adhere to EU regulations would bring prices down. ( No mention of using ingredients not allowed in the EU. )
    1
  9596.  @fredplat467  I remember getting it in the neck for being part of ‘Project Fear’. Of course people on the leave side did not mention problems. Even said things to discredit others who were not keen. The leave people did their best to SELL the idea. First thing you learn on a sales course is. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a sale. The fact that people actually believed people like our Nigel & the ERG beggars belief. I know a couple who did not vote. Thought they did not need to because no one would fall for it.

  9598. Ukraine has so far kept the mighty Russian war machine at bay for three years. That’s a massive win in my book. The invasion is Putin’s shame.

  9603.  @Kalus_Saxon I have a U.K. friend. He is racked of by people either claiming or implying they don’t have a license when the should. What does cheer him up a bit is by the thousands being fined each year.

  9612. Years ago in Scarborough, England. There was a door in the back wall of a liquor store. Looked a bit like a broom cupboard door. Walkthrough & about 10 feet more to another door. Led to a small bar. Cheapest beer in town. No signs because the locals wanted to keep it secret from tourists.

  9616.  @antoniousai1989  But after sixty years they are still running the same basic design machine. Still can only achieve a six seconds run. One improvement could possibly be to cut the repair time between runs. I have no idea what it is now but it used to be months.

  9628. You are mistaken. The USA is sticking to the test ban treaty & hasn’t tested nuclear weapons for decades. So therefore no chance of a test failure.

  9629. Israel will not allow the BBC or any other news organisation into Gaza. The BBC and others are having to rely on locals to get news out.

  9631. No news organisations inc the BBC are allowed into Gaza.

  9632. But others are saying. The Gulf Stream is slowing to a stop. Which will lead to a mini ice age. Which is it ? Perhaps we should take Alfred E Newman’s advice & say. What, me worry ? Enjoy the party while it lasts.

  9633. Please explain.

  9634.  @Roland_Tr909_Swing  I look at the BBC News website on a more or less daily basis. There are reports about Bill Gates but can see nothing that supports your claim.

  9635. Please explain.
    1
  9636. @ Do you have any particular reason to say that. I have visited the area ones or twice each year. There is one thing I noticed. People have a tendency to park vehicles in the storm drains. Parking is a problem in many towns. Becoming a real big problem.

    1
  9653.  @kamilllaaa  I understand that is correct but the U.K. is apparently nowhere near top of the league.
    1
  9654. The BBC along with any UK broadcaster can’t get away with misinformation. They will have OFCOM on there back. One of them GBNews has just been heavily fined for being naughty.
    1
  9655. Not if they need to have that much security to fend off the local criminals.
    1
  9656.  @bertbog5088  The perps don’t need to be local. They just need to be near enough for a team to make a profit. They also need to know what they are doing to avoid being electrocuted. Having been involved in security I am surprised that the sites can afford 24-7 with guard dogs in vans. Plus guards are unreliable sometimes even catching up on sleep. I caught one asleep on his first & as it turned his last.night.
    1
  9657.  @bertbog5088  You must be really behind the times. The HS2 security CCTV type set ups are much cheaper & more secure than having security guards that may not have English as a FIRST language.
    1
  9658.  @bertbog5088  I have a feeling your first language may not be English. Am I correct ?

  9659.  @bertbog5088  Yes it is & I have over three score years of practice.

    1
  9666.  @stueymorris  Yes he is now reportedly a Christian & member of a Church in Newcastle. Converting he will have burn his boats with the Muslims. So much so that if he returned to Afghanistan they may treat him to a crucifixion.

  9667.  @zakjuly6721  Too much doom & gloom these days. Good to see I have cheered someone up.

  9668. Why would they change them back. It’s working reasonably well. Also not like people who have not driven in Wales made out.

  9669. Can’t see what the fuss is about. Two nukes were dropped on Japan they rebuilt the cities more of less straight away. People have lived in the exclusion zone for decades. The wildlife appears to be doing very well.
    1
  9670.  @patverum9051  The only thing different about the radiation in the exclusion zone is that it has decreased. People have lived there for decades & studies have shown the wildlife is thriving. Also would their commanders have sent troops into the area if they thought it was very dangerous ? There may be a few extra cancer deaths in time. But obviously not enough for the military command to be bothered about.
    1
  9671. As a member of the European Parliament your Nigel will have advised you that leaving the EU and with it the Dublin agreement would lead to increased boat traffic. It’s something that goes with Brexit’s golden dawn.

  9681. Very few Councils have ever run MOT centres. They did tend to have their own taxi checks. But the have to complete with it having to be put checks out to tender. Some years back I drove for a private hire company. Their vehicles were only required to have a valid MOT.
    1
  9682.  @bentullett6068  I believe there are few if any of those in the U.K. Because without repairs they would not be financially viable.
    1
  9683.  @eyesodd  Any chance of providing even a short list. Say just half a dozen. I believe there are non in Warwickshire. Source a County Councillor. He pointed to one run by a London Labour Council. Warwickshire won’t be opening an MOT station. Apparently believe it could only run at a loss, Plus the faff involved in like taxi checks having to put it out to tender.
    1
  9684.  @eyesodd  You have not provided a single name that can be fact checked. With out names I hope that you will understand why would rather believe a County Councillor. Someone I have known for around four decades.
    1
  9685.  @eyesodd  Absolutely need names to even start on fact checking. Give me chance to phone round.
    1
  9686.  @eyesodd  Half a dozen from anywhere in England Scotland or Wales would be fine. Northern Ireland’s were taken over by the Gov during The Troubles.
    1
  9687.  @eyesodd  Even though you claim to know. You have not supplied a single address. So do I believe you or him. It’s not that I need to take his word for it. If you come up info I am more than willing to spend time fact checking. But I do think for you it is a case of put up or shut up.
    1
  9688.  @eyesodd  Let’s forget the Councillor. That’s a distraction. You claimed that there are over 100 council run MOT stations. You so far have not identified even half a dozen of them. I am making a personal effort to give you the chance to back up your claim.
    1
  9689.  @eyesodd  You have said there are so many in such & such an area. But not one name & address. Sorry to have to say this but I have come to the conclusion that you claimed something that just can’t back up.
    1
  9690.  @eyesodd  That case please try five or six station ID numbers. I can find station name & addresses on my spreadsheet.
    1
  9691. You Brits voted for your current situation. Didn’t your Nigel Farage & Boris Jonson not tell you that leaving the EU & therefore the ability to send people back could lead to the current situation ?
    1
  9692.  @georgebarnes8163  Before Brexit you had an agreement to return people to France. That ended when you left the EU. Take a look at the figures. Compared to now the figures were much lower until you finally left. Since then the numbers have steadily risen. If you have been on sales you know only to mention benefits. Never mention any possible down side. If anyone else says anything perhaps have Nigel & Boris deride them as say, 'Project Fear.' Why didn't the number instantly jump. Perhaps people wished to see that they would not be sent back before moving. But as it is there are thousands coming on behind. Could be that you have different explanation why numbers dramatically increased after leaving. I would love to hear it.
    1
  9693.  @georgebarnes8163  Is that not needing a passport to enter the U.K. apply in all instances ?

  9697.  @georgebarnes8163  Just remember border posts & swopping currency. Won’t want to go back. Is it correct that the Isle of Man has a number motorcycle race courses ?
    1
  9698.  @georgebarnes8163  Someone said there are three race circuits. Thought that sounded to good to be true. I can remember pre € days. When traveling round by could mean you may end up having a whole range of coins & notes.
    1
  9699. @julienielsen4462Partly because the power companies cut the power. Not realising they were cutting power to the pump’s feeding the mains. Hence lack of flow.

  9708.  @OghamTheBold  Please explain what that has to do with the northeast reportedly voting to leave the EU. ? I voted remain but I can’t see why over five years later are continually moaning rather than trying to made to best of a bad job. I for one am finding it’s becoming a bit tiresome.
    1
  9709.  @OghamTheBold  If you had voted things might be different. Turns out that Nissan gave good advice. Pity you decided to come the awkward squad helping to shoot yourselves & others in the foot. Not sure you are are in a position to moan.

  9710.  @malcolmwilkinson4449  Not sure kicking Kent is possible without without a change in the law. It would take sometime & it would make it harder to shift product in and out of the country. I am not sure how that would help the current situation. I feel confident you can put me right.

  9719.  @catman2629  Sometimes having a criminal record can make it difficult to get a job. Possibly leading to being on benefit. Don’t know if it’s still the same but. I spent a couple of months on benefits in the late 70’s. The payments were a lot, lot worse than having a job.

Sudan John is currently serving two years ( reduced from three ) in Japan. Essentially for being a public nuisance. He kept racking up offences while creating YouTube content & thumbing his nose at the police. They gathered evidence over a period then hit him with the lot.

  9886.  @ClericChris  It’s normally OK to film without a a tripod on a U.K. rail stations. But word on the net is that Dr K has been banned from many places. Something a business owner can do without quoting a reason. Returning without permission makes them a trespasser. Removing trespassers is problematic especially if they have people filming in order to monetise the event.

  9909. @ What about the police & through then the CPS weren’t they the people to go to ? He had not been found guilty of anything. It was just unproven allegations. The only real way round it for our employers to have full access to our private lives. Including our phones, tablets etc. Also to be able to have use under constant watch. I say this because I worked with a man who none of use knew had been convicted of a sex offence. Wasn’t till a woman from the village mentioned it that we found out. The offence had apparently happened in works time & involved a customer while out on road testing. The woman said nothing to the business. Went straight to the police.

Give the population a few quid to worry about could lead keep us missing the big stuff.

  9923. This only hearsay. A friend has booked a U.K. hotel. A couple of days before his travel date the hotel reminded him that part of the terms & conditions are that he wears a mask/face coverings where the local rules apply. One of things the hotel reminded him of was. He had ticked a box on the website when booking saying he had read & understood the T&Cs. They reminded him that he understood that if he was unable to wear a mask/face covering for any reason he could not make a valid booking. This they said is/was purely to protect staff & others. As someone has commented on this video. A person who is exempt from wearing a mask/face covering could & possibly because of the exemption be more likely to have & spread Covid-19.

  9959.  @neilwolton3965  I had the Smallpox vaccine as a baby. It was compulsory. But I suppose my parents did he the freedom to have me vaccinated or face what I believe were very stiff consequences. If the TB jab had been available I would not have spent a year in my bedroom & almost eighteen months off school. The Poliomyelitis vaccine came along before I caught it. The HPV vaccine is cutting down on the incidence of cervical cancer. Any woman catching Rubella in the first weeks of pregnancy had a high chance of delivering a disabled baby. I am a supporter of compulsory vaccines.

  9967.  ryandavies4197  I am perfectly happy with the BBC. Much more trustworthy than social media who don’t have anything like BBC Verify. Even worse if TV went commercial. The UK could end up with channels like Fox News or NewsMax. Where the advertisers requirements dictate the channels content.

  9971.  @AdamBladeTaylor  It’s up to private enterprise to look out for their own. If the government owned the power companies and therefore taxpayer owned it would be a different matter. Do you expect the taxpayer to maintain your car ?

  9972.  @brian2440 The tax payer owns little or nothing of that. Plus. What about Texas ?

  9973.  @brian2440  But when it comes down to it. Most of the energy is 'owned' by the private sector. In many ways I would be happy if the tax payer purchased the energy industry.

  10007. I have a question. President Trump boasted he could finish the war in a day. His people had meetings with Putin’s people. Did not need Ukraine there. They could sort it by themselves. The meetings are over. Why hasn’t the war stopped ? What difference would Zelensky singing over mineral rights make ? Especially with without security guarantees.

    1
  10017.  @draytonpark66a  Yes they have a driver but one of the people who have paid for the trip. Not one pf the smuggling gang. Almost anyone can point a dingy at the White Cliffs. They have a problem in Dover. The boats can't apparently be left to just float away. There is now a isue of how & where to store them. Not easy to just sell them on either because in law the boats, outboards etc belong to someone. When it reaches the stage when the can be disposed of. Who is going to buy them. Too big for the leisure market & you would not get insurance to use them commercially.
    1
  10018.  @draytonpark66a  Have you or anyone you know visited one of Kent's migrant centres ? Do you spend much time in hotels. A four star hotel can be pretty tatty. All it needs is things like a lift to bring it from three to four stars. Due to circumstances I once made the mistake of stopping in a Kent four star Holiday Inn. The room was well passed it's refurb by date. The bathroom doubly so. The restaurant. ( Another four star facility ) apart from the prices a bit 1960s transport cafe. Four stars does not indicate that it is necessarily somewhere nice to live.

  10019.  @blessingmhlanga6782  I have just double checked. You are correct. Unfortunately it appears that many think that Africa is a country. Have gone on to make comments reflecting that. Which is one more reason why I don’t trust things I see on YouTube.

  10052.  @cakehole53  Very true. But equally how are the police going to ID the alleged perpetrators. Let alone what they may or may not stolen. How could the police becoming involved be a good use of resources ?

  10088. It is not in the car park owners interest to have inefficient camera systems. It is in the drivers interest to have street legal plates in order to cut down potential problems.

  10093.  @berniethekiwidragon4382  He has resigned as leader of the Conservative Party. He is still Prime Minister until the party replaces him as PM. Anna explained it. The official route to a new PM is. Conservative members of parliament vote for whoever come forward to reach a short list of two. The members of the Conservative Party then vote for their preferred candidate. This could take months. But in the meantime Bo-Jo is a lame duck PM. In someways until he is replaced a bit like a US President between the Presidential election & a new one taking office.

  10100. I haven’t shopped in town since before the pandemic. It’s now out of town or online. Why drive into town & find a spot & pay to park there. Then search round the shops hoping to find what I am after. Sat at a keyboard I can search huge warehouses in just minutes.

  10101.  @AngelBaby-cp6kf  Don’t get the same problems. Groceries fruit & veg are delivered in electric trucks from the supermarket. The delivery doesn’t cost much more than taking the car.

( Mid 1970s ) The arm looked OK on the outside but had rotted internally. Being better safe than sorry we changed the arm on the other side. Word went round the trade that is was a well known thing.

  10137.  @bumfluffmcregor3730  Not if a fine increased insurance, phone/broadband contract costs etc. stops you being able to use a vehicle. Having to say yes to do you have a criminal record can damage job prospects. But I suppose if you think it's worth it.
    1
  10138.  @bumfluffmcregor3730  Credit agencies hold a record. It will hit your credit rating. Most insurance companies will ask if you have a criminal record when renewing home, vehicle Insurance etc. Policies may even require you to tell the company if you pick up a conviction. Job application forms often include the question. As a general rule people with criminal records are seen as less trustworthy and a higher risk than the general public. Some insurance companies won’t cover people with a criminal record. You could find that a fine may be only part of what a conviction brings.

  10154.  @veglover1765  My daughter and I got rid of the TV. We spent time with books and BBC Radio 4. She was the first family member to go up to University. Life is so much better when not letting time just drift away watching TV.

  10156.  @veglover1765 Yep. So it looks like a win, win situation. I am fully aware that YouTube pays the BBC. I don’t have a problem with it. But again it is a matter of choice. Nobody inc you is forced to watch anything on the BBC YouTube channels.

  10170.  @keldsleepnot7961  It may not do any harm if you pop down & see if you can find these mythical queues. I have, queues are not normally there. There have been queues over the years but they have often down to industrial action on the ferries. On all the Dover Calais I have been on few of the crew are English. The Calais port staff can also seem a bit eager to strike. Lorries have their paperwork cleared before they enter the port. There at least two customs posts off the M20 where this is carried out. One is in the concourse at Stop 24. Please don’t take my word for it. It is in full view of the public. Pop in and take a look.

  10171.  @Neil070  Were is the conspiracy. All we can see on Google Earth is what is there at the instant the photo is taken. Slight update. I have just taken a look where I live. For a couple of years the satellite view has shown a passenger jet between the camera & the ground. That jet is no longer showing. But if in doubt do what I have done. Pop along & look for yourself.

  10241.  @grantbeerling4396  That lorry park at Stop 24 has been there for at over a decade. It is part of the service area that has been there from the get go. Certainly not a new build. What is new in the last couple of years is the customs post. No customs queue when I visited a couple of weeks ago.

  10242.  @grantbeerling4396  Where are all these lorry parks that people claim the government have built to hide Brexit queues. No one can provide me with locations because as far as I know they don’t exist. I have asked for their locations. If anyone can tell me where to look I will go along & check for myself.

    1
  10248.  @anitawilson9325  The BBC were legally obliged to to keep clear of any investigation. If his lawyers could point to any way they had influenced it the whole case may have been thrown out. That way justice for no one. I wonder do you believe innocent until proven guilty ? Do you believe you should stop being paid just because someone says you have done something illegal ? Again innocent until proven guilty. How could your employer legally withhold your pension. I hope for you & I it will remain innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That it cannot be left to your employer or public opinion to decide. Because that way is some very doubtful territory.
    1
  10249.  @anitawilson9325  He was suspended. While UK law ran its course. Which says he is innocent until proven guilty. Which in the end he was. At which point he lost his job. As far as his employer getting involved in any investigation. Legally they had to keep their nose’s out . Not doing so may have led to his solicitors claiming an unfair trial. Leaving him to walk off scot free.

  10266.  @gingernutpreacher People live in the exclusion zone. Have done for years. Some apparently never left. The wildlife also appears to be thriving helped by the fact that there are few humans about. Digging trenches & pits could have brought up highly radioactive active waste so was not a good idea. But I feel sure that the military would have avoided pockets of high contamination.

  10267.  @gingernutpreacher  No l have not been trolling you. I have been saying all along that it’s not as bad as people make out. Some parts maybe hot but some people have reportedly never left the exclusion zone. I have said I don’t think troops would have been sent into hotspots. I am pretty sure that stories of hundreds of people in hospital with radiation sickness is unlikely to be true. But I also think that it is an unrivalled opportunity to keep a check on the troops who were in the zone. One reason being that if any adverse effects do happen they can be quantified. Would not stop people making things up. But it could stop people getting away with it.

    1
  10304.  @keithmarshall8796  It’s the professional nature of the filming that requires permission of the owner. The fact that it on private property that brings personal privacy into consideration. Now pianos and monetisation of disagreements have come to the foreground . Do you think companies may avoid fuss be removing them. Might be comment for a few days but the news cycle moves at such a pace that their disappearing will soon be forgotten.

  10306.  @JG-us9lu  He has not been granted permission. He has been asked to leave. His response a Cheshire Cat grin while,ignoring the request. Basically taking the mick. The reaction of the Chinese was understandable given the circumstances. Pianos put out with the idea that could create smiles & feelings of well being. They are now the focus of monetising low level grief. Has the day of the happy piano ended ?
    1
  10307.  @englanduk6131  It’s private but same as a supermarket, shopping mall generally accessible by the public. But private all the same. Yep people do take private photos & video. But professional video is another mater. He needs permission. I have not seen a to show he has permission. Security went so far as to tell him stop. Even attempted to to close the piano lid. I feel pretty sure that if had permission he would have shown it. Being privately owned he always needs permission from people who could be identified. He had the opposite. When some realised what was going on they made it clear that they did not give permission. He still published it to YouTube. Pianos were there to bring a smile. Now become a focus for monetised arguments. Has their time passed ?

  10308.  @TheBostricano  Two English words but would be better if it could be identified as English.

  10309.  @gazsm1  Now that people have found they can monetise arguments around the pianos. YouTube, appearance money for TV & radio etc how many more will jump on the bandwagon. The pianos have stopped bringing smiles. Instead a focus of disquiet. Has their time passed ?
    1
  10310.  @gazsm1  I am not bitter, mainly disappointed that what was supposed to bring a smile has been monetised via arguments. The diplomatic incident involving the Chinese is one example. Has that video gained millions of hits as claimed ? I wonder if Elton is beginning to think the expression. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Is true. Sure is a pity it’s apparently going bad.
    1
  10311.  @gazsm1  Why did he publish the incident with the Chinese. Didn’t he know it would create waves. Isn’t it sometimes a case of least said sooner mended. Or perhaps he just couldn’t miss out on a money spinner & sod the consequences.

  10348. You can stand on the shore & shout NO all day long. Won’t make a blind bit of difference. The word in Italy is that you are up to 900 crossings a day. Taking back control of of your own borders did not work.
    1
  10349.  @clambert608  The difference is you fell for the take control of your own borders line. Not really compatible with international law. Global Britain has left the club. You are now on your own. Even the US say going back on the Irish border agreement has left them favouring the EU.
    1
  10350.  @clambert608  Putting people in five star hotels & giving them around €80 a week spending money must be worth it. Doing that & no longer having the option to send any back to the EU sort of proves they are wanted there. Your leaders promised a golden dawn & a health service with so much money waiting lists would be a thing of the past. How is that going ? What about extra sewage being dumped into your rivers. Perhaps not realising the above, but enough of you voted leave allowing it to happen. As far as the EU goes its given people somewhere to move on to. Leaving fewer remaining here.

  10358. Not hiding at all. Prof Jim Alcalely has been open about it on BBC TV & radio. Also in his popular books. It’s just that the majority of the world is more interested in bread & circuses. There are some politicians who prefer citizens to be undereducated.

    1
  10381. @ In that case you don’t live in the UK. No coal mines. No coal fired power stations. They are moving rapidly towards renewables. China is really working toward carbon neural. Reportedly no new ICE vehicles to be sold after 2030. The world is moving on.
    1
  10382. @ China is now converting away from coal. Building large renewables plus nuclear. There this huge and I mean huge wind farm going up in the northeast. They are the world leaders in supply of most efficient solar panels. Definitely leaders in the manufacturing of EVs. The sale of ICE vehicles in China will be more or less banned after twenty thirty. Did the flue scrubber remove the sulphur dioxide. The thing that was getting the U.K. known as the dirty man of Europe. The sulphur dioxide from coal the major source of acid rain in the Norway, Sweden. Drax went to wood because of it.

  10391.  @1971carmichael  Plenty of electric cars in Warwickshire. Mostly Tesla. See at least one during any ten miles drive. I know one owner who also has a Tesla PowerWall & solar panels. The local Renault & Nissan dealers also recon they are shifting units. Perhaps you live in an area where EV hasn’t taken off.
    1
  10392.  @1971carmichael  My acquaintance has solar panels so no problem with charging. He also sells electricity to his supplier during the day & his PowerWall keeps things going during the night. Overall he spends very little buying electricity. As far as buying back the utilities. The country can’t afford to do it. You & I might like it to happen but it’s an absolute none starter.

  10400.  @Davy-yt8qg  His political views are just a sideshow. He could not afford to keep the account. His multiple claims that he could not obtain another were a fib. Not only did he not have the money but he proved to be dishonest. Possibly should have been excluded for that alone.

    1
  10405. Many programs on all TV channels inc the BBC are made by production companies. Staff work for the production company & not the channel. Camera men, sound engineers etc are often on short term contracts for the duration of a show.

  10450.  @marcoantoniogodoy9526  Correct about Churchill. But I feel that Bo-Jo puts on a daft act to hide his plans to sell off the health service & do other things that may make him & his mates money. I didn’t think he is half as daft as he makes out.

  10492. No real secret. This remote island was used as test area in 1942. The locals knew not to visit. I first saw the island in 1965. The mainland already had signs do not visit the island because of anthrax contamination.

  10493.  @schmitz4206 You could be correct. One question. Could that climate be conducive for growing food for 8,000,000 people ?

  10494. An emotionally charged crowd has in the past switched almost instantaneously from benevolent to violent. Is it better to remove a potential trigger or try to deal with violence once it has started.
    1
  10495. Please tell me how are they going to do that ?
    1
  10496.  @benjleath9406  I don’t see how they can.

  10497. It’s not a BBC Licence. The BBC doesn’t know who holds a TV Licence.

  10498. PR I look round the world & wonder. Which version ?
    1
  10499. All they can do is report.

  10500. You are correct it’s best to avoid that route like the plague. All we need now is voters to avoid many Republicans.

  10501. President Trump has made it clear that climate change is a scam. He is going to scrap all of the Biden Administration’s efforts. Including the wind turbines which he claims give people cancer. He is also promising to promote the use of fossil fuels. The real worry. His base which is aprox 50% of the U.S. electorate believe him.

  10502. Looks like you don’t recognise an Oxbridge accent.

  10503. Looks like it’s already too late. I have decided to enjoy the party while it last.

  10504. Unfortunately the police did not have enough evidence to charge him. Fortunately people in the U.K. are innocent until proven guilty.
    1
  10505. The left & right claim being discredited. To me that means the BBC are being even handed.
    1
  10506.  @sadbob2356  What on earth are you talking about. You need to explain.
    1
  10507.  @milzijex7340 The deal brokered under the Obama administration that Iran would not enrich uranium above power station grade. Even came with full access for international monitors. When Donald Trump started his first term he said ‘terrible deal’ and ripped it up. So no more monitoring team. Looks like scrapping it may have been a poor idea.

  10508. Nothing wrong with the presentation. Perhaps English isn’t your first language.

  10511. Will Trump had be Alaska which was purchased illegally. Putin has promised Russia he will make it happen.

  10512. Has Donald Trump said that he believes that windmills cause cancer. If so I am sure he will have then taken down for the health of the nation.

  10517. Trump seems to be doing his best to back the USA over a cliff. Why would others follow ?
    1
  10518. I don’t believe you.
    1
  10519. President Putin appears to think it is.
    1
  10520. So what ?
    1
  10521. I have found the BBC & Al Jezeera to be the most reliable source.
    1
  10522. Ukraine is being attacked. Is everyone supposed to just work on by.
    1
  10523. I think that this may lead to a new variant could appear would be more accurate.

  10524. The only thing I could be upset about is that the indictment appeared a like slow coming.

  10525. Please check your facts.

  10526. If someone applied for a job saying. I can be with you for a month but then will clear off for six weeks. Someone who would not be away would get the job. How could I justify to colleagues giving someone a job knowing they will almost definitely disappear for six weeks.

  10531. Biden is saying up yours to Putin.
    1
  10532. Yes they do exist. But not used that much. A couple of years ago a small group of people went round our local town passing duds. Many shops, supermarkets etc have signs saying. We do not accept £50.00 notes.
    1
  10533. The Biden administration has. Unfortunately the Republicans are generally against infrastructure spending.

  10534. Perhaps check with your solicitor before withholding tax.

  10535. The police don’t allow it.

  10536.  @enchanted_blue9807 Same thing here. Just let them know in my case through the website. Or failing that via TV Licensing automated phone service.

  10537. Looks like China may have the EV bug. Saying the west has it wrong by overpricing EVs.

  10538.  @snowyowel7961  That would be too expensive. Take weeks to arrange. Just too cumbersome.

  10541.  @astradala1845  aWOKEn coined in the early 1940s in the south as a coverall for people, organisations etc. who recognised the world’s inequalities and downright injustice and aimed to combat them. Trouble with woke is that no two people seem to think it means the same thing. What do you think it represents ? Inclusivity. Britain is good at that & has centuries of practice stemming from Empire. Where according to maps the Great British Empire included people from more or less the whole world.
    1
  10542.  johnchapman6446  Didn’t need many because the British turned up with weapons & the will to use them.
    1
  10543. @johnchapman6446 The British gave all sorts of all sorts of people rights to reside in the U.K. So what started as largely military takeover sometime ended as being pretty inclusive.
    1
  10544. @johnchapman6446 I have a feeling the British government gave the right to remain after people from the Empire fought with the British against Hitler & Mussolini. Tens of thousands apparently came from & all over the Empire & fought all over the world in response Britain’s ( The Mother Country ) calls for help. Perhaps if they hadn’t answered the call Brits may have ended up speaking German, Italian or even Japanese. Didn’t they teach you this in school. Just by voting them in. The British people give your government the mandate to do that sort of thing. The British electorate gave the OK for Brexit. Some talk about a Golden Dawn for Britain. Not turned up yet ? Don’t worry your Boris Johnson has gone to fetch it.

  10545. Yet you are supporting it financially by clicks and comments.

  10547. I understand that the USA is fading in the eyes of the world. But letting Trump and co get away with it would still send a message.
    1
  10548. How come the Chinese government have spent billions raising their people out of poverty. While in the US the system appears to be pushing the average person into poverty ?

  10553. A friend used to live in Leamington Spa. They have had low traffic areas for a couple of decades. Welcomed by some narrow streets who were fed up with vehicles cutting through along with their streets being full of non residents vehicles parked overnight.

  10561.  @123lodge8  Yep. Plus carry insurance. To many damage/injury accidents where an injured party has to go whistle.
    1
  10562.  @anthonywolverton9833  There have been calls over many years for the resignation & insurance for bicycles. Now much more urgent that more and more powered two wheeler are being used on the roads footpaths.
    1
  10563.  @anthonywolverton9833  Talk about insurance when I last rode a bike. That was in the 1960s.
    1
  10564.  @anthonywolverton9833  Where I live motor insurance was obituary even before I purchased my first motorcycle. That was in 1960. Over 200k and I still have all my bits. No way will you get me on another pushbike. Too flipping dangerous these days.
    1
  10565. What happened to pensioners having money coming out of their ears while the young languishing in poverty.
    1
  10566.  @TheGiff7  One very good reason not to ride pushbikes on the road. Especially when you can ride anywhere in the world without leaving home.

  10569.  @starrynight1329 It still dammed the river.
    1
  10570.  @panafrican.nation  My take on it is. Something had a apparently damed the river & whatever it was it gave way. Triggering the resulting flood. Not just the BBC mentioning a dam giving giving way. Perhaps how eye whiteness described it.
    1
  10571.  @panafrican.nation  I am with you as a BBC supporter. They along with Al Jazeera are I believe between them generally way more reliable than social media.

  10573.  @curiositycloset2359  Sorry to hear you are frightened.

  10574.  @curiositycloset2359  Voting for Brexit was an unfortunate move. But the UK have now voted for a different Government. If we it goes on this way I will be happy.

  10576.  @Papichoochoo1969 What do these facie things mean ?
    1
  10577.  @yvngxpete4167  To my mind it seems a little excessive but. It’s within the normal sentence range. Travellers need to take that sort of thing into account. Vodka is legal to possess in Russia. Taking it into some other countries will get you locked up.

  10578. I am over 74 and paying. I did have a free licence for a while. But the rules changed and people over 74 now need to pay for their licence.

  10579. It’s just marketing. Some works some doesn’t.

  10591. This interviewer is a lying trouble maker.
    1
  10592. Perhaps people cry because they realise some politicians just don’t care about them. Would crying in front of his wife be desperation ?

  10593. The fact that he had an ISIS flag & posted video supporting them may have lead them to think that.

  10594. Seemed OK to me. Certainly not diabolical. May I ask just what box do you think needed to be ticked.

  10611. Check you own contract for details. I have a couple of UPS units to protect my computer & internet connection. I am rural & more or less on the end of a line. Power used to go off every couple of months for sometimes hours, occasionally a day or more. Much better these days. My contract brings the benefit of rebates dependent on the length of time I am without power. I would need to check my contract but I have a feeling my rebates start after 4 hours.

  10614.  @mattrobinson5254  A registration plate on cycle would mean it could be identified. Would not stop either bike or other vehicles running a red light but at least. Like the taxi the bike could be identified.

  10619. Some appear to have forgotten that aWOKEn was coined in the early 1940s to describe people who have aWOKEn to social inequalities. People who wished to combat the ills of society. How come you and others appear to think that it’s a bad thing.
    1
  10620.  @wellnationnews Ukraine has held off the Massive Russian war machine for over three years. A massive victory in my eyes. Over three years in and still not done. Surprised Putin can show his face.
    1
  10621. I can’t get my hat on. Some people complain that the Windscale alert took too long. Some are now complaining about being offered alerts. Perhaps do like the motor trade. People complained about too much oil on the door hinges others saying not enough. The cure. Remove lubing hinges from the service schedule.
    1
  10622.  @icouldbewrongicouldberight  Using beard oil brought compliments so stopped using it. The alerts appear to bring compliments from many sides. Why not just not provide them ?

  10624.  @susancoleman906 What immigrants ? Do you mean asylum seekers. Leaving the EU and with it the Dublin agreement was bound to increase people arriving there on boats. As member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage will have been very aware about that. Didn’t he mention it. I believe some Brits did mention it but were shouted down as. Project Fear. Time to realise the boats are part of Brexit’s Golden Dawn.

  10625. Why would they wish to reach Europe ?
    1
  10626.  @squirrel287  According to Donald Trump the U.S. has millions of homeless. Nobody can be sure that their kids won’t be shot in school. Apparently politicians have said school shooters are just a fact of life. The medical insurance is both expensive & may not pay out. Only the desperate head for the U.S.

  10641. This suggestion the the U.K. Gov could stop customs checks. I am not sure that it a good idea. Unless of course you wish to import drugs, weapons etc. Stopping the checks would that be illegal.

  10642. Who is Bishop Ball ?
    1
  10643.  @zaksnoop4441  I am pretty sure most of us have discovered or could find out that someone we know is that way inclined. Back in the 70s I helped out on a Probation Service youth program. The group leader ended up going down for pedo activities.  I or any of the other volunteers had any idea he was into that sort of thing.

  10664. Just Stop Oil seem to be doing the opposite of winning friends & influencing people. Who does the disruption benefit & who is paying for their expensive lawyers ? Have the groundlings been duped by a third country. A country who may wish to spread dissent in the U.K.

  10721.  @charliehepburn8803  The point is he was being copied in seven years ago. Is there any evidence that he has been copied in since ?

    1
  10723.  @charliehepburn8803  I have looked. As you say no mention of corruption on this particular thread. But what started me off on other threads. Is people claim people watching the meeting then claiming it proved corruption. I am still waiting for someone to come up with anything other than unsubstantiated claims.

  10724. In some ways it may be beneficial to check skirt length. One of my wife’s claimed they wore short skirts to gain attention from men. Even set out to seduce one teacher for a lark. Underage girls are sometimes known as jail bait. If a chap takes the bait & gets caught it can be. Straight to jail. Do not pass go but go straight to jail.

  10757.  @richietaylor9870  It’s a pity that the police have had to been there in defence of people causing disruption. Something that people don’t see as something the police should be doing. Perhaps it’s a pity that some did not lock themselves to things. The police were really busy & would not have been able to stop the crowd giving them a good kicking.
    1
  10758.  @BlyatimirPootin  Perhaps they should not have been stopped locking themselves to things. The police were too busy to stop the crowd finally give disrupters a good kinking.
    1
  10759. It is a pity that the Police have to spend so much time protecting demonstrators from the mob. If the police don’t attend people may start taking the law into their own hands. That can quickly turn into mob action. Demonstrators may get injured. It appears that these days if a jury has sympathy with the mob it’s members can be found not guilty. This in turn provides support for those who say the jury system has failed & should be abolished.

    1
  10787.  @Buckets1000  Sounds like it’s a route smugglers may already be using. One downside. It does not give the authorities chance to document & fingerprint people arriving that way.

  10788.  @Buckets1000  It’s already affecting small wine producers. Who no longer see shipping a small number of boxes to the U.K. as being worth the effort. Even more so it import duties start being applied.

  10795. I understood that the French not the U.K. will be doing the biometric checks on the way to the EU. I have been on the ferry & tunnel crossings a few dozen times. Can’t really see that difference a couple of minutes extra is going to make. Either parked up waiting to load onto the ferry or hang around waiting the load the train for the tunnel or Eurostar. It is Europe requiring this & because it will also affect the rest of the world not directly to do with Brexit. Europe will apparently be checking us out again. The photo & fingerprint giving confirmation that it is the same person using the passport.
    1
  10796.  @YouD0ntSay  I have also been in queues to get into Dover & Calais. Two minutes is not likely to make a material difference.
    1
  10797.  @YouD0ntSay  You are talking already a 9 mile queue with 20 hour wait. How is few minutes for a check going make much difference ?
    1
  10798.  @YouD0ntSay  Here is me thought we were talking about the upcoming biometric passport/fingerprint and facial recognition photos & the fact that people appear to claim they would lead to queues. My point is that the extra time they take should make no real extra time to pass through the port. After all once we have been through the check we go to a waiting area. Only loading once a ferry has docked & unloaded. Also haven’t the Port of Dover announced that extra French Immigration lanes are going in to speed things up a bit. Lest we forget back in 2016 the U.K. voted to leave the EU. I could see trouble ahead & voted remain.

  10800. You have to have a ‘valid reason’ for carrying. ‘I forgot.’ As you say is an excuse and the law says that an excuse will not protect you. The BBB has other Youtube videos which highlight the fact.
    1
  10801.  @royblackburn1163  True. We are potentially innocent until a court finds otherwise.
    1
  10802.  @royblackburn1163  Unfortunately people dying is no longer rare. The police need something to nick a little scroat who in the past could often get away with claiming. ‘Sorry forgot I had it on me.’ As Boy Scouts we used to wear 6 inch sheath knives as an accessory to our uniforms. We did not even consider using them as weapons. The world has changed. Unfortunately the law needs to change to try to keep up with it.
    1
  10803.  @royblackburn1163  As you say the minority keep spoiling it for the majority. But do you believe that the police don’t have anything better to do than go round activity looking for someone who happens to be carrying something that would normally thought of as a work knife. Completing loads of paperwork & then possibly even appearing in court. I have a feeling that anyone who did that may be taken aside to be asked if they thought it was a good use of their time.
    1
  10804.  @royblackburn1163  That situation sounds like a valid reason to carry to me. Could it be that any cop claiming otherwise would have mick taken out of him/her back in the office. Do you think his/her boss might even ask if they thought it was a good use of police resources ?
    1
  10805.  @royblackburn1163  Do you really think the police have the resources ?
    1
  10806.  @royblackburn1163  After all you have said I asked a valid question. Why do you feel the need to duck it ?
    1
  10807.  @royblackburn1163  I agree electric vehicles should be expected to pay road tax ( or whatever it is called these days ) I am also not keen on the local council providing free to use chargers in some of their car parks. I don’t know if it went through but. Illinois has talked about a charge of 1,000 dollars US per year to cover the loss of fuel duty.

  10826. @ Not about cutting carbon emissions. It’s about improving air quality. The EV set up is expensive. But running two EVs off solar and a PowerWall means no trips to the gas station. Commercial chargers only used on trips. Apart from tyres EVs need as much maintenance as the washing machine.

  10837. @stesradThe U.K. gives you choice. Nobody makes you pay. But having the option seems to upset some. Just drop the option & fund the National Broadcaster from tax like elsewhere in the world.
    1
  10838. Having the option to pay or not seems to upset people. Just take the cost of the National Broadcaster out of tax like they do elsewhere.
    1
  10839. @stesrad I don’t get either of those. There is just a check every couple of years to confirm the address is still correctly licensed. Nobody is made to watch TV it’s purely optional.
    1
  10840. @stesrad The LAW states that all property must be correctly licensed. Correctly licensed includes a property that don’t need one. People who complain they keep being asked may not have let TV Licensing know that the property is correctly licensed. Only Parliament can modify the law. Best contact your MP if you are asking for a change. Posting on Social Media is effective as shouting into an echo chamber. I personally am not keen on the law that says I can’t legally drive/ride at more than 70mph on any UK public road. But the law is the law & there are penalties for breaking any law.

  10841. @stesrad You Sovereign Citizens are usually good value. In your case amusing with a touch of pathos.

  10843.  @MargaretThompson-hj5oz  You have just admitted that you need a license to stay legal.
    1
  10844.  @knottyinks1  If there is someone in a property watching or recording live TV or BBC iPlayer a licence is a legal requirement. Does not matter if the are using a TV set, tablet, phone, games console, Sky Glass etc. Even some YouTube sports coverage is live TV. A parent may not know what a child is watching on their tablet etc but their ISP does.
    1
  10845.  @jazzdub4958  Don’t know why the U.K. sticks with the licence which is so 20th century. Best follow the rest of the world & fund the National Broadcaster out of tax. The U.K. is billing itself as Global Britain but you are just so behind in so many things. There are even stories circulating that your Government is allowing more sewage into rivers & the sea. Global Britain you are a joke.
    1
  10846.  @knottyinks1  You gave the impression that people have no need for a license. Dependant on circumstances this is not strictly true. Would you trust anyone in the household not to watch anything they wanted to ? I don’t mean inadvertently clicking on something. But actually watching live TV etc. because their mates are watching & don’t wish to be out of the loop.

  10850.  @maxpowerii7368  Do two many young people now start work in their twenties & in hock when their grandparents started earning at 15. Started paying tax & National Insurance at 15. They had lower expectations. 70 years ago most workers did not have central heating, double glazing, fitted carpets etc. Factories worked a 48 hour week. Another thing that has an effect is the the world population has more than tripled in the last seventy years. That is going to have an affect on property prices. Things are going the get worse. Take a look at a graph showing population increase. 700,000 people now displaced in Sudan alown. How many from there & elsewhere are heading this way. Heading here because the U.K. is seen as much richer than they are. The U.K. is no longer part of the EU we are now alone against the world.

Because next time it would be a ticket. Cross-ply tyres in those days and you could 4 wheel drift. But cross-ply did not last. Once took 1,500 miles new to bald.

  10855. Why does anyone believe what is said on FOX News. Am I correct. Their attorneys have entered court claiming that it’s just entertainment. That they don’t think anyone believes a word.

  10856. Not at all sure anyone thought that. But Putin doing a Hitler style invasion could end up with death in a bunker.

  10857.  @governmentnwankwo9906  For a start I don’t subscribe to any of the gods. Russia started the war when they invaded Ukraine. NATO did not attack Russia. I wonder about President Putin when he sent troops in from the north. Did he really expect them to be greeted with flowers & cakes. Or did he know he was sending them to their death.

  10860.  @johnnyhollis9977 Things have changed. After WW2 councils were building generally better stock than private. My dad had returned from the war & was working on building commercial premises. We moved into a new semi. The council started building an estate next door. My father was really quite exorcised how council tenants were getting slightly larger rooms & generally better homes. Later governments changed all that.

  10861.  @queeg500  I expect them to be as self serving as the rest of us. But you said a certain group are corrupt without providing any evidence. I still say if you think you are sure of your case it is time to put up or shut up.

  10863. The throttle works both ways. Having to rent a stadium may require an increased Council Tax. How many can risk points on their driving licence ?

  10867.  @TayWoode Nobody has gone to jail for speaking up. Someone has who was streaming encouraging people to barricade others in a burning building. Has gone to jail. luckily no fatalities.

  10869.  @crystal2484 Isn’t aWOKEn to the world’s inequalities & wishing to do something to do something about them. Usually seen a something to aspire too. Why do you have a problem with it ?

  10873.  @ems7623  It’s not that radioactive. Site workers took reporters to were people had dug in. No safety gear. Dosemeters barely clicked.

  10874.  @jayfender4486  Don’t think anyone will be bothered by radiation sickness. Reporter’s have been to the dig in site. No safety gear. Very few clicks from the dose meters.

  10885. I don’t know of any law that stops people questioning how safe & affective the vaccines are.
    1
  10886.  @Iain1962  Yes I do remember having to test negative before travel. It affected me personally. I also remember the other things you mention. A bit of a pain but worth it.
    1
  10887.  @Iain1962  In order to travel I had to take a test to prove that I did not have Covid. A positive test would have prevented me from traveling. It also stopped others who had it from traveling. So well worth it.
    1
  10888.  @Iain1962  I could have been infectious before I started displaying symptoms. Same with lots of diseases. Rubella is one. One of the things that could & sometimes did lead to the birth of babies with disabilities.

  10889. Isn’t didums getting his own way.

  10890. Donald Trump will stop this. He said no wars last time he was President. He is going to stop all wars once he is back in the Whitehouse.

  10894. But we voted for the NHS to have money coming out of its ears. Dump EU laws allowing the U.K. to have cleaner rivers. Powerful trade deals with the likes of the US. Who because Boris Jonson reneged on the Nothern Ireland agreement. The USA then said the U.K. has proved it cannot be trusted so no deal. Brexit has not brought the promised golden dawn. Bo Jo & the ERG stabbed the U.K. electorate in the back.
    1
  10895. Plenty of people are commenting on the video were the BBC reported the incident. The BBC has since announced that a 60 year old woman is helping police with their investigation.
    1
  10896. So what is wrong with drinking a beer & cleaning your gun ?
    1
  10897. This is the sort of thing that gives credence to Russian propaganda that US citizens are mentally sub normal.

  10900. A reasonable point to make.

  10903.  @codswallop164  Please name these four group. Tell us the rights you claim they hold. Plus how did they obtain those rights in the first place. In the meantime please don’t become insulted if I say I believe you are talking tosh.

  10905. London along with many other places are suffering from illegal levels of vehicle pollution. London etc are tackling it by effectively taking bribes from people taking the more polluting vehicles into them. In the hope that drivers will be nudged into less polluting vehicles. Manchester is apparently cutting pollution be restricting the entry of all vehicles. Will Manchester ever remove those restrictions ? Neither method is popular but is needed to comply with U.K. law.

  10906. The Welsh so sometimes come across as being a bit odd. But in truth I suppose the same goes for all nationalities.

  10911.  @thatdude1435 Yes, it’s quite often pensions. They have been at it since the introduction of supermarkets where you pick your goods off the shelf.

  10914.  @Marcho978  aWOKEn to the ills of the world and wishing to combat them is inspirational. To use it as an insult may identify a bigot.
    1
  10915. Yep. I am sure your Nigel Farage will vote for that.
    1
  10916. aWOKEn to the ills of the world and wishing to combat them is aspirational.
    1
  10917. As you intimidated the people who have not taken the vaccine are more dangerous than the vaccinated. They must be treated differently to those who have. Looking at it from the other perspective. Those who have been vaccinated should be treated differently from the unvaccinated.
    1
  10918. In case you have not noticed there is no longer a toll at the Dart Crossing. It’s a congestion charge to encourage drivers to stay away.
    1
  10919. Why on earth would Indians be rioting. Different countries. Don’t even have their main religions in common.

  10922.  @MattAccrue  I didn’t realise that the U.S. accounting was that bad.

  10923.  @alexm890  I believe he is correct. China has been coming up unnoticed.
    1
  10924.  @abelis644  You could be correct. DJ Trump has said he is a fan of Putin’s.
    1
  10925. My VED car & motorcycle are taxed on their CO2 emissions. Oder vehicles tend to emit more CO2. So the older the vehicles the higher the charge.

  10926. In reality with both sides the way they are there is nothing anyone can do about it.

    1
  10929. Our George looks so sweet.
    1
  10930.  @chewface Her record says otherwise. Would Trump hand Putin Alaska ?
    1
  10931. Why not.
    1
  10932. Fake news. France hasn’t sent any mercenaries.

  10933. Why would they want to be against it ?

  10936. Screwed her. Nice thought.

  10937. Was that ‘injury’ just makeup. After all everyone is looking for the eye.

  10938. There for the world to see on the BBC News website.
    1
  10939. Did they do the same if two ladies shared accommodation ?
    1
  10940. The Donald will phone Putin and tell him to withdraw and start paying reparations.
    1
  10941. Yep. The potential for recycling many EV batteries is why people are already investing in factories to do the job.
    1
  10942. Anyone else remember. Vote leave for a bright new dawn & a heath service with money coming out of it’s ears ? Wonder what we will be promised if we leave the European Court of Human Rights ?
    1
  10943. So if you have been told bombs are going to drop or your house. It’s sensible to take precautions. Nothing cowardly about it.
    1
  10944. I don’t agree. It’s a trusted news outlet.
    1
  10945. Some the comments will undoubtedly be used to illustrate just how many don’t know the law.
    1
  10946. With the latest arrests looks as though Russians bombed the bridge.
    1
  10947.  @FM-jo1jh Yep. The Donald once again showing the world how much power/influence he really has.
    1
  10948. @ Couple of weeks ago. it’s one of the things I do. It’s QI the way things are going. Population increases in the Horn of Africa. Shrinking in Japan.

  10950. @ No.

  10953.  @Beyond_Belief534  That was a failed 1950s experiment.

  10954.  @Beyond_Belief534  That was a failure. Just like other 1950s experiments.

  10955. The weather patterns are a bit mixed up. It’s effecting food production.

  10956. Tosh.

  10958. @ He wasn’t an official trade union spokesman.
    1
  10959. Trump in some way reminds me of Ron L Hubbard.
    1
  10960. Correct the Trumpians may well of done. But President Biden appears too much of a gentleman to engage in mud slinging.
    1
  10961. He doesn’t even come from a NATO country.
    1
  10962. Perhaps get over it. Climate change is real.
    1
  10963. Scottish data apparently shows 20mph zones cut down deaths & overall injuries.
    1
  10964. The UK makes steel in at least two places. Port Talbot and Scunthorpe.
    1
  10965. Hostage, prisoner, captive it’s all just semantics.

  10966. We do all qualify to be potentially shop lifters.

  10967. Why would Elon be bothered about Tesla ? He has the USA.
    1
  10968. Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine has every reason to retaliate.

  10969. aWOKEn to the ills of the world & wishing to combat them. Seems something to aspire too.
    1
  10970. My mate tows a fixed double berth caravan with his Tesla.
    1
  10971. I did not see the police helping them.
    1
  10972.  @NoWindNoSunNoPower  Looked more like gathering evidence to me. A court won’t proceed without it.
    1
  10973. Perhaps just,don’t take any notice. But don’t look for sympathy if you slide off the road.
    1
  10974.  @TheRealMrBlackCat  Don’t matter what you or I think. The insurance company’s instruction to the ship owner will be don’t admit responsibility. The insurance company’s are going to fight it out in the international courts before as much as 50 cents is paid out. That could take years. I suppose we could have said we are not doing anything until the money is sorted but how much would that cost.
    1
  10975. Can we have that again. But this time in English and without shouting.
    1
  10976. How many votes are arriving from spoofed accounts ?
    1
  10977. AI is beginning to affect UK life. So yes it does affect Britain.

  10978. @ Don’t believe you. But I am willing to listen to evidence backing up your claim.

  10979. @ Can you provide some proof to back up that statement ?
    1
  10980.  @bruce4130  Not exactly what ?
    1
  10981. Has anyone informed the police. Have the police had time to get there before the filming stopped.
    1
  10982.  @jasonrustmann7535  Unless the US has sunk to the level of a 3rd world country I can’t agree with your assessment. Anyone no matter the colour we can clearly see that she is being harassed. Lawlessness of that type can not be just let go. That way leads to anarchy. Your President Trump does not help. Comes across as a petulant child. Setting a bad example. Has the US become somewhere to be ashamed ?
    1
  10983.  @jasonrustmann7535 Oh yea of little faith. Fox 13 have reported that police have arrested the man seen causing damage.
    1
  10984. A replacement President cannot be even more of a failure than President Putin. Two years in & just caused death & destroyed infrastructure.
    1
  10985. Things have moved on so why not add a Palestinian state to that apparently ever changing list ?
    1
  10986. Will Eric Trump do anything to stop the homeless crisis. Or does he just kick people who are down. If so how will that help ?
    1
  10987. I don’t have a smart phone but I am not at all bothered.
    1
  10988. President Trump doesn’t agree. He say he will be promoting fossil fuels.
    1
  10989.  @captainjoejoe Do you really think that the USA is that important.
    1
  10990.  @captainjoejoe  Can’t understand English. I am far from thinking the USA is that important.
    1
  10991. Doesn’t to me. Please explain.
    1
  10992. Why ? Plenty more copy brings more income.
    1
  10993. I had a messy divorce on the cusp of the 60s/70s. I felt pretty murderous. Some stoners took me under their wing & calmed me down. They were gentle people. We just sat around & listened to LPs. I chilled out & moved on. It’s easy enough to test for cannabis use. Perhaps it would keep Fox happy if everyone testing positive had their guns confiscated. Or perhaps Fox would be OK that it should be one of the tests taken before anyone should be allowed to purchase a gun.
    1
  10994. Over £900 a month sounds quite good. But I am a bit surprised she did not put a little into a pension each month. After all we have known for years that the Government pension is only meant to keep the wolf from the door.
    1
  10995.  @michaelmacdonell4834  I am over 75. At one time the licence was free for 75 and over. That ended about three years ago. Over 76s now have to pay for the TV licence. I personally think it’s good value.

  10996. @ I have looked back over the 70 odd comments. Unfortunately I can’t find what ‘both of these’ is referring too. Please help.
    1
  10997. @ What is ?
    1
  10998. @ Looks like you are being ripped off. Plus Should have at least a 24 hour break per week.
    1
  10999.  @Michealst1  If they go into what was a 5 star hotel. They won’t be getting a 5 star experience. Staffed be the likes of Serco. Possibly even take away food. Yes there is the just under £30 a month to splurge on the highlife, clothes, shoes, across counter medicine etc. Looks as though you may have also been taken in by the smugglers sales videos.

  11000. @ I am in my 80s I am more than happy to support the BBC. But I did quite like the period when I had free licence.

  11001. The U.K. crime rate is lower than it was in 1960.

  11002. Brighton is very expensive to visit & the sea takes half of it. Halifax is nicer & beer a lot cheaper.

  11003.  @k.im.b9205  Does not sound like sarcasm to me. I agree with every word.
    1
  11004. Who are you talking about.

  11005.  @eskieman3948 People can receive $750 upfront emergency payments from FEMA. But that is not the end of Government help.
    1
  11006. Same here.
    1
  11007. How do you know that the DWP aren’t following it up. Can take a while before they can gather evidence that will stand up in court. What you told them is hearsay.
    1
  11008.  @MOCHI-ek6rc  What makes you think thy haven’t done anything.
    1
  11009.  @indianscout4487 Kangaroo criminals.

    1
  11011. Not sure I believe that. The U.K. doesn’t have a President.
    1
  11012. A tiny little island can do very little. Even calling it Global Britain is a bit laughable.
    1
  11013. Why would I. I’m in line for an above inflation raise. Plus the fact that labour appears to be doing a genuinely good job.
    1
  11014. e bikes are powered two wheelers. They should be subject to regulation just like ICE vehicles.
    1
  11015.  @BenState  As a long time U.K. motorcyclist I can say that the regulations definitely aren’t the same in the U.K.
    1
  11016. Many Brits are like that. James Bond for a start.

    1
  11018. No.

  11019. I pity Russia. Three years and the mighty Russian war machine is still struggling. Surprised President Putin can show his face.
    1
  11020.  @northleedspoppa  Perhaps a good kicking instead. Cheaper than jail.
    1
  11021. The same thing can happen with an ICE vehicle. Could happen through the ODB port while in for MOT.

  11024. Why would USAID be giving the BBC to promote tourism in Egypt ?
    1
  11025. What happened to Donald being a tad against EVs.
    1
  11026.  @Landroverdude101  That’s the way it has to work in a situation like that. Get the work under way. While the Government lawyers start going after the money. Getting the money could take a while.

  11027. The Isle of Man has many out of town 50 limits. Temporary 50 limits go in during practice & race weeks.

  11028.  @JohnJourdan88 What happened to blessed are the peacemakers.
    1
  11029.  @MrRight-hn5pq  How would people in the U.K. affect International Law. About 70 million in the U.K. up against around 8 Billions.
    1
  11030.  @MrRight-hn5pq  Global Britain is subject to International Law so not we can’t.

  11035. Russia started the fire that was supposed to take a max. Putin appears to be a poor decision maker.
    1
  11036. Unfortunately the police need to be aware the Just Stop Oil flash mob has materialised before they can do anything.
    1
  11037. I don’t see it either.
    1
  11038.  @karolokuniewicz9705 Yep already too late. Let’s just enjoy the party while it lasts.
    1
  11039. Why ?
    1
  11040. Using car engine oil in a bike with wet clutch may lead to clutch slipping. Caught me out once. ( 1990s )
    1
  11041. As I understand it. Capita are charged with keeping the TV licence database. If a premise has a TV licence all well & good but if it does not they need to ask. If the premises doe not need a licence why not be open & say so ? In someways it’s just like putting a SORN on a road vehicle.
    1
  11042. I don’t need to apologise for myself or Apple. Been with them since 2016 generally happy.
    1
  11043. Does the rest of the world keep hearing that the US has mental health issues. Then look at MTG and wonder how things got that bad.
    1
  11044. All the money coming from China etc there will be well paid jobs for all. No more homeless.
    1
  11045.  @LeRoy-wb7vu The billions coming in from China will pay to house the homeless.
    1
  11046. Perhaps ask anyone you are voting for. How do you intend to ensure that London’s air stays within U.K. legal limits.
    1
  11047.  @andrewkemsley2630  I agree vote on May 2nd. Whoever is voted in will need a way to control air quality. You will stuck with that for the next five years.

  11049.  @gbear1005 So what ?

  11052.  @Balla1527  Why would the BBC be upset over there being even more copy.

  11053. You apparently can’t recognise Received Pronunciation. Which country are you from ?

  11054. That’s a point. Where is Iran ?

  11056. The PCN looked fair to me.

  11057. The BBC charter and U.K. law bans overseas funding of the BBC. So defo no USAID money for the BBC.

  11060. Just Stop Oil don’t appear to be winning friends & influencing people. Has a second country found a way for them to spread decent ? Most people don’t appear to want to do anything to combat this so called climate change. Just enjoy the party while it lasts.

  11061. Why so afraid ?

  11062.  @DrTableman  I have found reference but not in English. Did the contaminated milk come from the old Soviet Union ?
    1
  11063.  @DrTableman  I very much doubt that. The U.K. along with Norway for some years had very strict controls over animal products after Chernobyl.
    1
  11064.  @DrTableman  i can only find little that I can read.. I have come across something in a language I can read it said milk had been purchased from The Irish Dairy Board. They are Republic of Ireland which is a different country to Northern Ireland which is part of the UK. The UK had a partial melt down at Windscale in the 1950s witch triggered the introduction of moderating stations plus strict regulations to control contaminated animal products. Looking at the radiation plume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqu_l29WioM it looks like Ireland as a whole did not receive too much in the way of fallout. Had the milk come from outside Ireland then sold on to Mexico ?

  11067.  @mda5003  No matter which you look at it it was all down to them blocking roads. On the plus side they did find a shortcut to jail.

  11068.  @ArminGrewe  No.

  11069.  @mda5003  They did find an express route to prison & should be congratulated for that.

  11071. Nobody in the U.K. is forced to purchase a TV licence. If you really don’t want to fund the BBC stay off all their social media channels.
    1
  11072.  @jackjohnson7163 Sorry can’t really help on that. But I have noticed that many don’t even know the basics about its funding, governance. Many don’t even know about the existence of OFCOM.

  11073. That would require a guarded fences along all the French beaches. Is that in any way practical ?

  11074. Kim the President of North Korea played with Trump. Stuck two fingers up and developing nuclear weapons when Trump said he wouldn’t allow it. What did Trump do. Sod all.

  11075.  @goldilocks913  I have not seen Kill Bill but if the knife you refer to had a hinge it was not Katana either. Let’s face films don’t always get everything 100% accurate.

  11105. I get a letter about one a year. I don’t find the fact that they clarify the law threatening.
    1
  11106.  @johnmorsley  I dare say they may appear threatening to licence dodgers & so they should. I don’t find them threatening I just reply showing the property is correctly licensed. Does not need a licence meaning it’s correctly licensed. If you don’t let them know the situation they are obligated to keep asking.

  11109. What term do they use.
    1
  11110.  @daveberry2177  I would have left it to the police. Asked social media to keep their nose out. The person’s who posted on YouTube saying that she had been disposed of because there was a upcoming mortgage crash & was about to whistle blow. That these people knew of evidence to support their claim would require investigation. That would require the wasting of time & resources. Even more time needed now the police are to be investigated ref what they did to check the claims. Social media just muddied the water. Made a lot of noise said a lot that is untrue. While at the same time not helping to actually come up with the answer about what happened to her.

  11114. @ I have seen any evidence of that. If anything I think it would go to U.K. farmers. Why transfer to Ukraine who is a source of fertiliser.
    1
  11115.  @robharris8844U  What, me worry ?
    1
  11116. What survivors ? How many people were even injured ?
    1
  11117.  @diegofondoo1780  Language is sometimes is a funny thing. It’s a bit fluid but the first post in this thread said. “The survivors of the incident will get millions in financial compensation “ If they are referring to relatives of the six who died I am sure they won’t be picking up millions between them.

  11118. Or English accent ?

  11125.  @dulcettonezzz8229  I didn’t find a problem with her U.K. English. Perhaps you are used to US English. As they say two nations split by a common language.

  11131. Why ?

  11132.  @cloudbasenirvana  Why on earth should the British people hate R Sunak ?
    1
  11133.  @Mikeyc2k6  Like many others I prefer Sunak to Truss so he can’t be the most hated person in the land.
    1
  11134.  @Mikeyc2k6  I know a couple of small businesses that trust him. They would not have got through the pandemic without his action. He is trying to be in a position to help the NHS. Liz Truss says she will cut taxes plus many protecting laws that we have as an overhang from EU membership. The NHS desperately needs money to get it on track. I suppose we could all go private instead.

  11135. Nothing there for anyone to get fired over.

  11138. It’s not the U.K. Are you one of the Donald’s beloved undereducated ?

  11139. Canada is not flooding the USA with Fentanyl. The U.S. Healthcare system promoted it as the go to drug.
    1
  11140. This channel is becoming boring.
    1
  11141. Russia is nearer to the USA than anywhere In Africa. Africa & the USA are separated by the Atlantic Ocean.
    1
  11142. The BBC bosses were put in place by Tories. I see them as leaning right.
    1
  11143. Are properties all over the place being purchased by Private Equity companies. Who because they can turn more profit as holiday let’s have no interest in renting long term. It’s something like drugs. Shortage of supply pushes the price up.
    1
  11144. The cost of the floods will take time to assess. So no answer to your question for a while. Ukraine is being attacked. Do you expect people to just walk by on the other side ?
    1
  11145. The Federal Government will go after the insurance company. But actually getting any money will take an age. It’s a good job that the Government can get started without delay.
    1
  11146.  @davidhorn6008  Do you have evidence that the insurance will be covered by syndicate. Or is it a guess ? Baltimore port is essentially shut done until the river is reopened. Meaning no containers going in & out by sea & having to be rerouted.
    1
  11147.  @Littlelamb2023  You could well be correct. But in the meantime the port of Baltimore needs to be opened up again.
    1
  11148. We talk about. We talk about. We talk about until it’s become boring.
    1
  11149. Not at all sure the BBC treated it as fact. More as an opinion.
    1
  11150.  @waynewright5023  Everything should be debatable. The fact that you & I don't agree that the earth is flat does not really come into it.
    1
  11151.  @waynewright5023  I agree with you about the shape of the earth but it does not do any harm to take another look. It will help convince people that you & I are correct in our thinking.
    1
  11152. On balance was it such a good idea to mention the drinking ?
    1
  11153.  @khalidacosta7133  My comment still stands. Would have been better not to mention you though the other driver had been drinking.
    1
  11154.  @PedroConejo1939  It’s never too late to lean & perhaps alert others. My comment still stands. Would it have been better not to mention you though the other driver had been drinking.
    1
  11155.  @PedroConejo1939 You don’t seem at all bothered about alerting the the other driver that it looked as tough he had been drinking. He would then know if the police turned up they may think the same & he could be looking at a years ban. Plus higher insurance premiums. Making it all the more likely that he would drive away.
    1
  11156.  @PedroConejo1939  In 1961 I came off. Someone called the police. Asked if about injuries I said. I am fine some screws in my back pocket just broke the skin. That’s all. Admitting to broken skin left me with a letter of intended prosecution. Since then I have thought very carefully about what I say after an accident.

  11157.  @Interdiction  Please supply evidence to back up your claim. It’s time to put up or shut up.
    1
  11158.  @derekheeps8012  I thought the ‘hip flask’ defence was quashed some years ago. Reason behind that is the the driver is still ‘in charge’ of the vehicle.

  11159.  @dominic197733  I have read up on M Pox that’s how I know it mostly affects children. Also there is not a specific M Pox vaccine.
    1
  11160.  @dominic197733  So it can be transmitted during sex but so can the flue. It affects mostly children how do you explain that in STD terms ?
    1
  11161. So it reached the stage when some people will support a criminal.
    1
  11162. I don’t agree. I prefer keep big vehicles out rather than have to reduce the number of parking spaces.
    1
  11163.  @TRD-667  Do you have the right to stop them ?
    1
  11164.  @TRD-667  You could try the BBC or any other outlet. Flat earth people have a long history. Possibly back to the time that people were still convinced that the sun orbits the earth.
    1
  11165. Why ?
    1
  11166. @ Yep. Much safer to stick with the herd. Safety in numbers. Less likelihood of being picked off by the wolves.

  11167.  @billyeves9358  The BBC bosses were installed by the Conservatives. Hardly left wing.

  11168. @curiositycloset2359 Not at all lost. But thanks for your interest.
    1
  11169. Yep. The BBC set out to tell it like it is

  11170.  @kerryfolden  Hi Ivan. The BBC defo set out to tell it like it is.

  11171. 81 when helping to draw up the Constitution. Little surprise that the 2nd Amendment has turned out such a mess.
    1
  11172.  @TIEVR Well said.
    1
  11173. How did the U.S. medical profession get away with pushing Fentanyl. Creating this problem in the first place. Is it likely to happen again with another addictive drug.
    1
  11174. Haggis.

  11175.  @canderson1955  Well said.

  11177.  @adamgrimsley2900  Just one reason Nigel F gave for leaving the EU. He said too much emphasis on human rights.

  11178.  @williamforrest9570 Without them the NHS & Care Service would collapse.

  11181. I trust the BBC to show both sides. Leaving me to make up my own mind.
    1
  11182.  @danboyd2725  You have just made two true observations.
    1
  11183.  @dannya.2616  As a U.K. citizen who both listens to and watches BBC output more or less every day. The BBC only very rarely. Perhaps once every couple of years even mention people who apparently believe the earth is flat. On this occasion TYT don’t appear to know what they are on about.
    1
  11184. Yep. The BBC has shown video of people stealing aid from convoys.
    1
  11185. 20% VAT on public EV charging seems like a very good deal. Way cheaper than the duty on liquid fuel.
    1
  11186. The BBC really know how to generate clicks & money.
    1
  11187.  @truth.speaker  I am talking about roads were you can’t pass without going too close. Tractors will often pull into a gateway. Much less chance with cyclists. I have seen the same thing on single track passing place. If someone catches you up you pull over in a passing place & let them overtake. Earlier this year I completed part of the NC500. Cyclists are seen as a real pain up there.
    1
  11188.  @truth.speaker  Fine, but people who live on or near the NC500 really can have a 50 mile round trip to the nearest large supermarket. Where even some long stretches of A road are single track with passing places don’t have time to amble along at cycling speed.
    1
  11189.  @truth.speaker  Trouble is it tends to be groups of hobby cyclists who let the side down. Appearing to think. Sod other road users.
    1
  11190.  @user-ug8wx5er1w While in the EU Britain could send people back under the Dublin agreement. As a member of,the European Parliament your Nigel would have known that. For him the boats are the gift that keeps on giving.

  11192.  @3184Patrick Good to hear you are putting the record straight.

  11194. A friend has owned three used Tesla’s over the years. He finds that they have taken about the same servicing as his washing machine.
    1
  11195.  @donnathedead7554  I did not know that. The same as a customer who came to pick up a repair. I had attached a FOC label to it. Unfortunately she did not know that is an industry standard for ‘Free of Charge’. She somehow thought that I had somehow meant to be insulting. The same as others don’t recognise MT on a gas cylinder or beer cask to denote that it is empty.

  11196. It’s a reminder. Don’t collect your farts in a balloon.

  11209. How can a house holder even control what their partner or children watch on there phones, tablets etc. Most of the time how can you begin know what they are watching that may require a licence ?

  11210.  @m1ckh4ck  Most of who are groomers ?

  11212. Then why are some calling the BBC the HAMMAS Broadcasting Corporation.
    1
  11213. I have lots of court cam videos. People often have to return for sentencing. A month does not seem that unusual. Don’t get the wrong idea. I would prefer sentencing on conviction. But it does not appear to be the way it works.

  11224. How long is it going to take President Trump to stop this war.
    1
  11225.  @ErenYega747  Who rolled troop, tanks etc into Ukraine. It’s a moral issue the money is a side show. Who would, if they saw someone being attacked walk by on the other side.

  11226.  @chekeocha4923  War always stimulates economic activity. I wonder if funeral directors are paying President Putin commission ?

  11234.  @sarahann530  Correct Brexit has not improved the U.K. For one thing it took the U.K. out of ‘Dublin’ meaning none can be sent back over the channel. Which surprise, surprise appears to be perhaps a trigger that has tripled the numbers crossing. Sending them to Rwanda instead is not working.

  11238. People said Israel and North Korea couldn’t have nuclear weapons. Both have nuclear weapons,

  11242.  @andrewadams6905 President Putin has signed a declaration saying the sale of Alaska was illegal. He has promised to return it to Russian control. What should be given up to get a treaty ?

  11243. The thing that springs to mind with 8 track is albums with a track that lasted one whole side. The track lost something when it came with a big clunk/click half way through. Classical albums often spoilt by clunk/clicks.
    1
  11244.  @trythis2821 it’s not uncommon for farmers to have large tanks of fuel. I am not a farmer. But I live in a rural area. Some farm machinery is a/ not road legal. B/ wouldn’t fit under a fuel station canopy. c/ run on fuel that is less highly taxed & can’t be used on the road.

  11245.  @johnmurphy9304 The Chinese EV makers are just entering a price war. EVs may become cheaper.
    1
  11246. @ Who was it said. That it doesn’t make sense for farmers to have large tanks of fuel. I know different. It’s not just niche machinery but. A tractor can’t legally be driven on the road unless the correct tax has been paid on the fuel. The same goes for Avgas to be used for crop spraying etc.

  11247. Don’t know about others but. I have been told that my vasectomy is not reversible.

  11248.  @DYLT2000  Who wants to buy goods from a country with Trump as a President ? It’s a bit of a relief that I saw Snap-On tools arriving in a Made in China box.

  11249. Don’t worry if the Donald keels over JD Vance is there chomping at the bit.

  11250. @ This is Biden’s one & only term. So there could not be a last time.

  11251. According to Private Eye Russian state TV is re transmitting Tucker’s output as anti US propaganda.

  11252. There are counterfeit stamps about. People have copied stamps but not quite good enough to fool the QR code readers.

  11253. The electorate have told Just Stop Oil to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.

  11254. It was cordoned off at first. But it’s on a public footpath. So the public expects it to be reopened ASAP.
    1
  11255. Closer to home ? What’s it got to do with the U.S. ?
    1
  11256. @ You asked that they should look at things closer to home unfortunately. You did not say that home is apparently a small island on the western fringe of Europe. Plus if they are so bad why do you want them reporting on anything.

  11257.  @svr5423  😶‍🌫️I believe you will find Tesla gives a five year warranty.

  11258.  @svr5423  They wanted a high mileage EV. They found one with 340,000 miles on it.
    1
  11259.  @stephenlawrenson2380  On average our family cover very few miles. That’s what could keep our cost down.

  11260.  @JobyFluorine-ru4bd  Do you have valid reason to say that. I prefer to trust a well respected brand rather than someone on the internet.
    1
  11261.  @coolcat6103 The BBC doesn’t visit anyone to check their licence. It’s not a BBC Licence it’s a TV Licence. U.K. Privacy laws means the BBC doesn’t know who has a licence & who doesn’t.
    1
  11262. The BBC are showing all sides of the story as their Charter requires them to do.

  11263. Why, what have they become ?

  11264. Vans in Europe. Come with a load height that doesn’t require a ladder.

  11266.  @glendaadams1481  It surprised me to hear that the U.S. still has Polio.

  11267.  @tacodon607  OK until TB gets into your cows.
    1
  11268.  @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving It’s something I have thought about for years. All theses fancy telescopes and not one image of a lunar landing site.
    1
  11269. @NatrollJMPhoto taken at supposed landing sites. But non taken from earth.
    1
  11270.  @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving Yep. The moon is around 250.000 miles from earth. But we apparently have telescopes that could photograph a golf ball on its surface. So why non of a claimed landing sites ? I watched the first landing on TV. For years I believe it happened. Now I am not so sure.
    1
  11271.  @acc-214 But at least they would go some way towards showing the landings happened. No photos give strength to those who say they didn’t.
    1
  11272.  @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving Still doesn’t stop people thinking the cameras are claimed to exist. Why absolutely no photos.
    1
  11273.  @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving  What’s this about golf balls on the moon.

  11274.  @hgbnkbggj2915 A Google search doesn’t bring any up. Just a couple could shut the conspiracies down.

  11275.  @gingerfish90 That’s just it I want there to be photos. Something to show that the USA isn’t lying.
    1
  11276. I watch/listen to the BBC a lot. I haven’t noticed any antisemitism. Their Gaza reporting seems pretty balanced to me.
    1
  11277. Yep. Also Canadians.
    1
  11278. Why oh why do politicians keep saying they can stop the tide. King Canute demonstrated centuries ago that it’s just not possible. The U.K. did have an agreement with the EU that some could be sent back. The U.K. electorate decided they would vote to end that arrangement. Why is anyone surprised the ending of ‘send back’ has lead to increased crossings. The way the hotels are run means they are little more than open prisons. Would the U.K. population prefer to go to the trouble & expense to building open prisons to house migrants. Something that could prove far more expensive than utilising underused hotels.

  11281. What happened to the Renault idea. You rented the battery. When it could only hold 80% they replaced it.
    1
  11282. The new JSO flash mob tactic is designed to avoid the authorities. They are only there for a matter of minutes before melting away.
    1
  11283. The BBC are a news organisation. All they can do is report. Which in this case involves yapping on.
    1
  11284. Was it worth the bother ?
    1
  11285. I did not hear MTG threaten to shoot nurses. With the upcoming peak water problems is it a bad thing that a few may die of Covid. More water for those left.

  11290. Not when President asked for half of Ukraine.

  11292. I have a feeling you are not clear on U.K. accents. She sounded Oxbridge.
    1
  11293. Looks like that’s already happening.
    1
  11294.  @jondear772  Don’t they need to take the weight of the bridge off the boat before they can move it ? Are they removing shipping containers so it’s less likely to capsize when the take the weight of the bridge off it.
    1
  11295.  @jondear772  Let’s hope that is the case.
    1
  11296. International law won’t allow us to do that.
    1
  11297.  @B-A-L  Correct. But when did any law stop smuggling ? If it what ever it is or was could cross boundaries legally it would not need to be smuggled.
    1
  11298. Why is there so much paranoia ?
    1
  11299. Are you sure he was in a position to do that ?
    1
  11300. The U.K. voted to leave the EU & with it the Dublin agreement. So of course there is an increase in boat people. It was mentioned but was shouted down as project fear.
    1
  11301.  @DrMildayan  It’s all on line so no real reason for paperwork. The police also have access to our photo ID. So I would not bother too much about strikes.

  11307.  @SimonBlandford  Been happening for years. No U.K. National speed limit until the mid 60s.
    1
  11308.  @roberttownsend339  Some stretch’s of German Autobahns don’t have a speed limit.
    1
  11309.  @DJW1981  Not body is forced to use those sections. Just the same as nobody is forced to clime Everest. Base jump etc.
    1
  11310.  @DJW1981  It’s great for us limited to 100 kph having vehicles sometimes come past so fast they appear to shrink into the distance. Plus the road having the capacity to allow it. Most places around Europe traffic would not allow it even if legal.
    1
  11311.  @DJW1981  I have not said that. Please don’t put words into my mouth.
    1
  11312.  @DJW1981  Why shouldn’t it be happening ?
    1
  11313.  @DJW1981  How is it illegal ? There is one big downside. Over 200 kph the fuel gauge goes down very fast.
    1
  11314.  @SimonBlandford  There has never been a 20 blanket speed limit in Wales.
    1
  11315.  @DJW1981  Life is 100% fatal. Some of my relatives haven’t been lucky enough to die quickly. In one case over two years after he first said he wanted to go. If you don’t want to think about death follow Alfred E Newman and say. What. Me worry ?
    1
  11316.  @DJW1981  Not doing anything illegal. If you don’t like it there is nothing stopping people staying away.
    1
  11317.  @SimonBlandford  Driving in Wales I don’t need the news. I can see it for myself. Claims of 20 mph blanket speed limits on YouTube knock its whole credibility.
    1
  11318.  @igorcicimov6234  There are some roads in Europe that I know don’t have a speed limit. Some stretches of Autobahn for a start. There is also the Nurburgring & other private roads that have limitless stretches.
    1
  11319. The electorate voted in the person who promised this. That politician really should be praised for keeping his word.
    1
  11320. In this situation I am on the side of the Police.

  11321. @ That as the woman with the wooden leg said is a mater of a pinion. Having said that I still support the police.

  11324.  @phildefer2342  if that’s how you read it. I read it a different way.
    1
  11325. We are not forced to do anything that requires a TV Licence. Anyone who thinks they are could be seen as weak willed.
    1
  11326.  @mrror8933  Get it right. It is not a BBC Licence. The money goes to HM Gov.
    1
  11327.  @mrror8933  Still no one if Forced into buying a TV Licence.
    1
  11328.  @mrror8933  True. But no one is forced to do it. It’s a personal choice.
    1
  11329.  @mrror8933  Yep. You got it.
    1
  11330. Looks like BB has forgotten that what is happening in the rest of the world impacts on US prices.
    1
  11331. Been threatening that for a couple of years. All bluff.
    1
  11332. Can’t you do better than name calling ?

  11333. Supply and demand says yes. Illegal drug prices will defo go up.
    1
  11334.  @th3ScorpioAlchemist Whose government ?.
    1
  11335. It is not a BBC licence. They are not involved in its administration. The money goes to HM Government.
    1
  11336. I trust the BBC but not Israel.
    1
  11337. It is.

  11338. This isn’t new it was happening in the 1980s.

  11339. If the charge is clearly there on the carpark notice it’s a case of. You choose to park there. You except any charge. Perhaps there is a lesson here. Always read & understand carpark notices.
    1
  11340.  @RomanHistoryFan476AD  Not a scam. Price set high to actively discourage non customers from parking on private land.
    1
  11341.  @AktarMiah-jb9rr  Why should they ?
    1
  11342. The Biden administration has done wonders for the country.
    1
  11343. Why should they ?
    1
  11344. So they should. Fed up with a few entitled people being allowed to disrupt thousands of peoples lives.
    1
  11345. It is not a BBC licence it is a TV licence. It appears you may have testified against yourself.
    1
  11346.  @SteveTheCurious  The law can be a bit boring. But getting it wrong can become expensive.
    1
  11347. I don’t believe it is illegal to walk down the middle of the road. Unfortunately the Police need to have evidence of someone’s intent to cause a hold up before they can be detained. The protesters have been well briefed & know this. Without the evidence the Police can be sued for false arrest.
    1
  11348.  @schrodingerscat1863  Why no riot police when people are just using paint. Could it be cost. Both to send them out in the first place. Then replacing uniforms etc that have paint on them. I for one don’t see how the cost in the way of taxes could be justified.
    1
  11349.  @schrodingerscat1863  I have little idea what you are on about. Unless of course the groups of the entitled gathered during lock down. Our family and those of people we know lost people to Covid. If that is what you are on about the police had my full support.
    1
  11350.  @jackgammon4084  The electorate were caught out by Brexit. Do you really think they can be spoofed like that again ?
    1
  11351. Some say turn them back. But how do you prove where they set out from ?
    1
  11352.  @alisin1dland68  My mother expects me to be a good chap. Yes I will have a Covid vaccine booster if it’s offered. Perhaps foolish not too.
    1
  11353.  @alisin1dland68  Yep. But like me would think me a bit dim if I followed the anti vaccine people.

  11354.  @fancyfillis5246  You should be ashamed to even consider wasting food.
    1
  11355.  JamJam0189  Some of our local self serve Sainsbury’s, ASDA & Poundworld take cash.
    1
  11356.  @fancyfillis5246  Not noticed any chaos in my nearest ASDA. Also picked up stuff from the Amazon locker at nearest Morrisons. No chaos there either.
    1
  11357.  @spanishpeaches2930  As others have said that will make work for the staff. If it happens a lot prices may need to rise and/or lines be de stocked. Also not sure everyone will be on your side because it could increase food waste.
    1
  11358.  @spanishpeaches2930  The nearest ASDA, Tesco & a couple of pound type shops have self serve tills that take cash & card. As fewer people use cash taking it could cease to be worth the bother.
    1
  11359. @ No one is forcing you or I to use a self checkout. But I don’t make myself a victim over it. I fully support shop’s anti shoplifting efforts. Too many instances of gangs carrying out shoplifting raids. I don’t know about you but I have no desire to be in a store while a gang is sweeping through.

  11370.  @vaughnpratt What is ?

  11371. The BBC sure knows how to generate clicks and comments.

  11373.  @PaxTemplar I know that isn’t a fib.
    1
  11374. Is it true that in the US some fuel pumps only except cards. That the customer has to pre authorise an amount. The pump will then dispense fuel to that value. Or places where you need to go to the cash desk & pre pay before they turn the pump on. Anyone know if that happens anywhere in the U.K.

  11375. Tucker makes a living out of being a bit confused.

  11380. Has Russia even hinted that they may even pause the attacks on Ukraine ?
    1
  11381. Looks like many people. Say living near Sizewell would not wish to be alerted to the fact there had been an accident. That is the sort of thing it’s designed for. It’s for localised alerts. Tested Nationally to cut down on people whining about being left out. Like any large system there are bound to be bugs that will only show up during testing.

  11382.  @triumphanttrump1467  But your taking control has lead directly to more people heading your way in rubber boats. The rush started when you could no longer send people back.

  11384.  @AdrianRouse-e1f  They did but the U.K. electorate apparently preferred Brexit to increased water bills.

  11388. One problem. Older vehicles produce more per mile pollution.

  11389.  @kevinabalo  If you did say something before your comment has disappeared. But having spent decades in the motor trade I can not agree with your appraisal.
    1
  11390.  @kevinabalo  Yep.
    1
  11391. I know it’s naughty but it’s so easy to make fun of Trump.
    1
  11392.  @ADobbin1 Same with Winscale. Wall to wall coverage on TV, Radio & the press. Milk tipped down mineshafts etc. But for Cockcrft’s umbrella it would have been worse.

  11393.  colinstevens6837  Word on YouTube is that it’s blowing west to east. But who trusts anything seen on YouTube.

  11394. You keep claiming to be Global Britain. The BBC is about all you have left to back that up. This Global Britain thing must be important. You left the EU to get there.

  11395. Not sure I believe that.
    1
  11396. The BBC have not excluded Nigel Farage. He has been given time for what amounted to a party political broadcast.
    1
  11397. Where are going to put an extra 3000 people and all there vehicles & equipment. In what is quite a small area.
    1
  11398. I am pretty sure that already applies. It used to be policed back in the day when cars had to display parking lights at night.

  11410. Why would Elon take any notice of a judge.

    1
  11412. Don’t see it myself.
    1
  11413. Depends what ASDAs T&C say about the public taking video/photos in store.
    1
  11414.  @Benny10001  If ASDA terms & conditions say the public cannot take photos or video in store then the public cannot. If you have entered their store you have implicitly accepted those conditions. If you don’t want to be bound by them don’t enter.
    1
  11415.  @Benny10001  I don’t see a problem. If you don’t wish to be videotaped don’t go in the store.

  11417. Brexit will come right. Nigel Farage is back on stage with Donald Trump. I expect he is there to collect the promised golden new dawn. I expect Clacton will get its share.

  11429. @secondchance6603 No I am not blind but the police will be up against some preyed expensive lawyers. They need to build a bulletproof case. If in court the JSO people claim we were just being a bit slow crossing the road. Not an offence in itself. The police will need to prove otherwise.
    1
  11430. @adcoxrobert3786 If the JSO people turn up in court with their usual expensive lawyers the police need to prove. That the JSO people weren’t just being a bit slow crossing the road. Not an offence in itself. Not being able to prove it could lead to the police being in trouble for wrongful arrest.
    1
  11431.  @stevenbennett6315  The old bill would be up against expensive lawyers in court trying to prove wrongfully arrest. Also how do you take police off the streets. One way is to get them tied up in court.
    1
  11432.  @3204clivesinclair  How to keep police off the streets. One way is to get them in court. Having to go up against JSO expensive lawyers. Who may be arguing wrongful arrest. The police need to show the the defence of just being a bit slow crossing the road does not stand up.

  11441. I am a little surprised that some do not appear to have learned that actions have reactions. It’s something we learn in school. It’s there clearly in at least history & general science lessons. People have the right to protest but the should really have know some of their actions would trigger reactions in the form of new laws. Some may say the Government had been waiting to bring in new laws. Some protesters have provided them justification.

  11451. You can’t claim harassment because they keep contacting you. Capita are charged to keep the TV licence database. They are expected to check a location’s TV licence status at least every two years. If you let them know you don’t do anything that requires a licence you normally don’t hear again for up to two years. If you don’t let then know all they can do is keep asking or even send someone round to ask. The amount of contact you get is largely down to you.

Had his own personal bedrooms in three hospitals. I met him. My then wife thought the sun shone out of his armpits. It was also the age of the Groupie. Some of them famous in their own right. At one stage I was related to one by marriage.

  11476. @ Many people lobbied to get Saville a knighthood. Even complaining that he hadn’t been given one. One of the groups people thought he should have one was the supporters of Stoke Mandivielle Hospital. Not sure that people who support NHS Hospitals are necessarily all Tories supporters.

  11482.  @Fraz-66  The overriding thing that people seem pleased about is being out of the EU. Some I met in a Middle Rhine hotel. They were overjoyed with Brexit did not care about any practical problems. One thing I had trouble understanding was. They were convinced that European hotels should treat them as VIPs. Apparently if the British stop traveling the EUs hospitality sector will collapse. Brits are delusional.

The only place they are mentioned is in the handbook. Different models come with various wheel & tyre sizes. It would need a large sticker to cover all eventualities.

  11493. @ Not true nobody in the U.K. is forced to do anything that needs a TV licence. You can own a TV set & still not need a licence. But you can also do things on a smartphone, tablet, desktop, some games consoles that do need a licence. The main problem is people’s dishonesty. Let’s face people can’t be trusted to not walk out of a store without paying. Apart from that the news outlets can earn from social media. Clicks, comments & shares all earn money. Content can also be licensed to other networks. Also they funded by U.K. TV licence holders. Which no one is forced to purchase.

Please tell me what the health and safety issues are with the terminals to French are going to install at their immigration check post at Dover. The description I have seen is that they are essentially like self check-ins at air ports. What Health & Safety issues do they have ?
    1
  11533.  @jimmagspanton669  It is essentially nothing to do with a vehicle. It’s checking people in & out of the European free movement area. I have been told that the same terminals will be installed at Calais to check people out again. It’s also nothing to do with Brexit. It would be happening anyway because the U.K. was never in the free movement zone. Pretty sure the French have plenty of time to make things safe & that your concerns will just fade away.
    1
  11534.  @jimmagspanton669  It is out of our hands. When it comes down to it the U.K. & the rest of the world has to go along with Europe. You almost seem to be looking for things to worry about. Why not be like me & Alfred E Newman. And say. ‘What me worry’ ?
    1
  11535.  @jimmagspanton669 Is it correct that the full details of what drivers will need to do have not been announced yet. We can make our assessment of the possible effects only after the full details have been released. Until then we only have speculation which is not even worth the paper it’s written on.
    1
  11536.  @jimmagspanton669  The BBC had one of the Port of Dover port’s bosses on. He said the the French have been given permission to install extra immigration checkpoints to improve throughput before the new EU checks come in. One thing that would help drivers is by providing them with the correct paperwork. Can save them hours or even days while it’s being sorted.

The airforce used Chinook helicopters to dump rocks onto the dam while engineers started to drain down the water. It was about three days before anyone was allowed back into town. If that dam had gone it would have flattened the town and caused damage down the valley. So dams can be a clear and present danger.

I suppose it’s safer to let them go than run after them. The same goes for privately owned electric scooters. I am only there for about two & a half hours & then only some weeks. There are 168 hours in a week so statistically there is a good chance that I may miss any accidents. I still feel that insurance would be of benefit in case of accident. If I rode through on my motorcycle I am not sure it would be any more illegal but I am expected to have insurance when riding anywhere that has pubic access.

  12020.  @trueriver1950  My wife gave up riding partly because the continual affects of road shocks gave he back pain. Not a problem in the car because unlike on her bike her back is supported. The weight of a helmet bobbing about on top of the spine does not help.

  12109.  @rosameryrojas-delcerro1059  Over in the UK the vehicle speedos read in miles per hour. The speed limits are in MPH. The road signs etc show distances in miles not kilometres. Beer is served in pints. Horse races are run over furloughs. When in the EU many things did seem to be moving to metric inc potatoes etc being mostly sold by the kilo but one of the reasons given for voting out of the EU was the desire to get back to pounds & ounces. Apparently many people under about thirty five years of age can tell you what a centimetre looks like. Ask more or less anyone over fifty & they will probably have no idea what a centimetre looks like. I have tried using an inch of toothpaste. Once was more than enough. The claim that someone insists on an inch makes me feel that. Along with other things I suspect a massive leg pull & The Damage Report may have perhaps inadvertently passed on what is fake news.

  12111. A near relative who lives in Kent suggested that the stories about long queues of lorries on the M20/A20 are a bit overblown. I decided to take a look. I called in at Stop 24. Motorway service area & truck park. There is a purpose built checking facility just in the concourse right by the door to the truck park. When I arrived three drivers were having the paperwork pre checked. There did not appear to be any problems & they were sorted quickly. I feel it makes sense for drivers to have their paperwork checked before they are allowed to enter the port. Much easier to sort problems while the lorry is parked up rather than when going through customs. I drove on down the M20/A20 before turning right onto the A2 on the island at the port entrance ( aprox 15.00hrs ) perhaps it was a slow day. But how many lorries were in a queue to enter the port. None.

  12159. The BBC does not support terrorists if they did they would have shut down by OFCOM.

  12164. There’s always money down the back of the sofa.

  12165. Not ideal. No fresh water so all water and food would need to be shipped in. The islands location would make that expensive. Building a sewage treatment unit would not be cheap either.

  12177. Yep. If it’s such an important story. Why didn’t GB News shout this from the rooftops

  12178. I remember those days. Going to the shop with a list. Hand list to shop assistant who put your items in a bag. Pay for items leave shop.

  12179. @ Don’t think so. His diapers would put me off for a start.

  12183.  @dinkdankdoo3035  My reader can only cope with english. Not sure Boris Johnson was ever on a ventilator. When did that happen. ( The reports I have seen say oxygen no mention of a ventilator. ) I am not at all impressed by Boris. Does wishing someone dead & insulting others say a lot about you ?
    1
  12184.  @dinkdankdoo3035  Written in English I can understand. Some people don’t follow the rules. But many people at the ‘top’ have healthcare that I can’t afford. My safest option is to follow advice. I can under stand why some people may be a bit dubious about the retail medical profession. Many people in the US were apparently really let down by doctors & big pharma who promoted opiate addiction.

  12190. With what ?
    1
  12191. But why did Dr Z become so excited about a child carrying a Chinese flag & why was he touching her ?
    1
  12192. Possibly because he did not kiss Putin’s hand.

  12196.  @stevesavage4247  The canals have strict speed limits. Much the same as we expect on roads. Speed on the roads & you may be pulled over. Saying I am driving a electric car won’t be a valid excuse.

    1
  12207.  @ericrich9422  Former President Trump claimed at one of his rallies he would not debating. Suggesting he would wipe the floor with any so not worth the bother. Would the fact that Trump would not be allowed to play the bully this time.

  12217. The BBC hasn’t been hiding it. They have transmitted a series by Surrey University professor Jim Al-Khalili on the subject. His book. Pathfinder’s The Golden Age of Arabic Science. First published 2012 explains the subject very well. So I can’t support the claim that the details have been hidden.
    1
  12218. The BBC is funded by its licence payers. Plus sales by their commercial devision. They don’t take funding from any political party. For one thing they are not free to do that. Their Charter specifically forbids that.

    1
  12222. That is untrue.

  12223. Trump has a cheek suggesting he wants to give part of Europe away. Putin has promised to return Alaska to Russian control. If asked would Trump just hand it over ?
    1
  12224. I don’t think Trump hates Russia.

  12226. Beg pardon.

  12239. Speaks like that ? Is that racial profiling.
    1
  12240.  @Genghis-Khan121  I had a different experience. At one stage in the 1980s I went without a TV for about eight years. I let TVL that I no longer had a TV. As far as I am aware I only had one visit. I happened to be polishing my shoes while sitting on my doorstep. It’s a long time ago so I cannot swear to the actual details but basically it went so. He said why he had called. I replied that I had had not owned a TV for years. We exchanged pleasantries & he left. Apart from the odd card I heard no more. I am not sure that I fully believe your story.
    1
  12241.  @gytosas  Sorry I don’t understand your question.
    1
  12242. I find them and Aljazeera very informative.

  12243. @ So what ?
    1
  12244. I have been wondering how people have been sabotaging infrastructure & apparently getting away with it.
    1
  12245. Don't try stretching the speed limit in North Wales. North Wales police won't normally allow any leeway.

  12247. @ Try it and see what happens.

  12248. @ Not fuel injection you don’t. I can remember running a Ford V8 Pilot on paraffin but we had to get the engine hot first. Couldn’t park for more than 10 minutes before starting again.

  12249.  @initialyze  No name, no face. Stop hiding & ask.
    1
  12250.  @initialyze  You have said that using name & face can lead to people identifying who I am. So be it.
    1
  12251.  @stevesmith7530  I have to admit thinking at a county level. Keeps it nearer to home. If we want an all singing all dancing police nationally we need to pay extra tax all round. The police only have so much money coming in. If we want increased capability we should be prepared to pay for it.
    1
  12252.  @stevesmith7530  I totally agree with most of that. This and other channels don’t help. Too many people continually slagging off the police. The BBB sometimes appears to get in on the act. But controversy does bring clicks. Clickbait equals income.

  12255. Nobody can stop a hurricane any more than they can stop the tide. Why do politicians make promises they must know they can’t deliver ?
    1
  12256.  @georgebarnes8163  True, but there are checks for onward travel to the rest of the world including mainland UK.

  12259. Look we have a conspiracy theorist in the house.

  12263.  @robertscotton5882  I have found four references to WEF. Can’t se how any of them would have an interest in a stalking case.
    1
  12264.  @robertscotton5882  Again who is this ‘they’ ?
    1
  12265.  @robertscotton5882  I don’t recognise your concern.
    1
  12266.  @robertscotton5882  I am pleased to hear that other agree with me. Anyway what has any of that to do with a stalking case ? The way I understand it is complainant goes to police with evidence. The police research the complaint. If they believe there is enough evidence they pass it to The Crown Prosecution Service. If they find there is enough evidence for a likely conviction they pass it onto the court. It goes through the court process which aims to find guilty or not guilty. If someone takes a complaint to the police & it’s felt that the police have not done their job properly there is a complaints procedure. Not at all sure how this nebulous ‘they’ you talk about comes into it.

  12267.  @Borderman47  Well said sir.

  12271.  @jonerlandson1956  I agree.

  12277. I have had five doses of Covid vaccine without a problem.
    1
  12278.  @nicole8307  I have had five doses of Covid vaccine. Does not seem to done me any harm. Also no more of our friends or relatives had died since we started having the vaccines.
    1
  12279.  @SopaSoupa  Can’t give a placebo claiming it’s vaccine. Being found out would be so expensive & could damage trust.
    1
  12280.  @SopaSoupa  I can't the same as I can't explain why I am still alive & have all my bits when nine bikers have had a beer with are have died riding bikes. One did die racing on the Isle of Man so I suppose he was high risk. Dyeing is not always the worst outcome.
    1
  12281.  @SopaSoupa  Having the vaccine would have cut down their chance of long COVID. We all make choices. They can come with consequences. People make up their own mind. My take on vaccines is coloured by my late fathers experience. Born one of thirteen only seven survived until twenty one. The others died of things that if vaccines had been available could have been prevented.
    1
  12282.  @SopaSoupa  I remember the annual Polio season & even though the cities Saturday movies etc were shut down. A time when the local media reported how many people had died or been left crippled that year. A school friend caught Measles he ended up with very little sight & had to move to a special school. I have a feeling we are different in one way. You appear risk averse while I am a risk taker. Unfortunately I believe that your being risk averse could actually increase your risk.
    1
  12283.  @SopaSoupa  Correct. But I will always take my chances with vaccines.
    1
  12284.  @nicole8307  If you had seen both of my grandfathers & my late father you may feel sudden & unexpected would have been a good thing.

  12286.  @diananeuman6222  Glad you now realise that you comment was invalid.

  12287.  @pmarie-se3tz  That’s good. I have seen it claimed that in some parts of the world you have to pay to have a Covid vaccination.

  12288.  @patienceobongo  I have had five shots. Does not appear to have done me any harm.

    1
  12292.  @runehawkwood  Yep. It was only a village shop. But we used to nick sweets and fags. Nipping into an orchard & scrumping apples could be classed as theft.

  12293.  @moosky7344  Will you chip in ?
    1
  12294. I suggest you may wish to watch the piece again. The BBB clearly stated that you can use proportional force to defend yourself & family.

  12295. I see bull bars on a new vehicle. They are totally illegal in most of Europe.

  12296. @CleanDataCube-qo8dvThe BBC did not say it’s a bad idea. They just reported on the subject.

  12297. @CleanDataCube-qo8dv I did see the BBC reporting the options of others.

  12301.  @zinjanthropus322  The BBC did not give it that nickname.

  12306. Sorry what you have just posted does not add up. How can they be the biggest racists on TV.

  12307. The BBC does give the world a chance to see what is happening.
    1
  12308. What on earth are you on about ?
    1
  12309. Won’t go down well in the UK either. Bow hunting & even disturbing badgers are both illegal.

  12313.  @robmule4647 I have watched a number of other channels. All claim it’s football related.

  12314. I can see a problem. It’s trial by media. We are all innocent until proven guilty. If you or I are charged with something our employer cannot just stop paying us. I they want to put us on garden leave all well & good. But we have still got to be paid. If contributions have paid into a pension the your employer cannot withhold your pension.

  12330.  @steveo4991  You have your opinion.

  12331.  @steveo4991  I have alternative facts. If they are good for the White House they are OK with me.

  12340.  @tellitasitis2024  Sounds good. Stop being a slave to the auto industry.
    1
  12341.  @IOMMatt  All the more reason for investing in second hand EV. They are great value for money & compared to ICE vehicles are generally cheaper to run.
    1
  12342.  @tellitasitis2024  Perhaps drive an EV instead. Purchased used after someone has taken the devaluation. They are less stressful to drive. Servicing costs are minimal. With solar & a PowerWall there is also the potential to run them off grid.

  12343.  @bigglyguy8429  Could it be that it’s not fit for purpose.
    1
  12344.  @bigglyguy8429  So why are you moaning about it being a problem on British roads ?

  12350. @ I have been to college but that was to study Electrical Engineering. Worked on pre production of Nuclear Power station control gear. Working on vehicles came later learned sitting with Anny. Plus training courses. But at one stage was the only person in town that could use a Crypton Tuner for working on vehicles rather than have on as an expensive coffee table.

  12351. @ Unfortunately we are surrounded by tall trees so solar panels are out. But I have a friend ( 50 degrees north ) who has solar and a PowerWall. They run two EVs almost totally off grid. He even tows a fixed double berth RV. Charging overnight at camp grounds. Tyres are more expensive but apart from that it doesn’t take much more servicing than a washing machine. Yes there was an initial investment in solar. But he claims a better return than putting the money in the bank. My vehicles are both ICE. So I am not an EV weirdo. But if I had the sun I would be tempted by year old EVs.

  12357. @ Tories. Far left ? You are pulling my plonker. Global Britain is subject to international asylum laws. If people claim asylum they have to be processed. The British electorate voted to end the arrangement where people could be sent back to the EU. They were warned but did not take heed.

  12363.  @laceandwhisky  True. So what is the fuss about. Capita is contracted by the Government to keep a database showing each property’s licence status. They know if a property holds a licence. But under the current system without asking they don’t know if a property needs one or not. Unfortunately too many people make it clear on social media that they don’t have a licence but it does not stop their TV working. It’s easy to contact TV licensing. There is normally a freephone number on the letter along with a reference number. Within the last month I have phoned up for a pensioner. The number takes you to an automated voice prompt system. It takes a couple of minutes to run through it. Simple. Can’t see what the fuss is about.

  12366. I am a little surprised that someone known as Geoff buys cars. Does not know of the existence of the Petroleum Licence.

That way they would not need support & could be paying tax. If people are talking about the Hilton Hotel in Dover. I have been past it on my way into the UK. The area looks very down & the hotel looks well past it's refurb by date. The UK should perhaps stop winging & take advantage of people wanting to work..

Miles of fencing went up years ago that are not there in this video. Edit. Another thing that is different because security has been really tightened up in the port people don’t try it on anymore. These days it is everyone out of the vehicle. Into a long building to French passport control to have it stamped. On though to U.K. Border Force were you can have hand luggage & cases put through the scanner. Sometimes remove belts etc for the security arch. Then onto U.K. passport control. Where your passport is scanned as you look into a camera. In the meantime vehicles are being checked. There are lots of high fences with key control gates. So no just walking about between different areas. All in all very little chance of anybody who shouldn’t getting through Calais.

  12462.  @mbd6054  I find it easier to keep track of my spending using my banking app. Using a card I don’t need to remember what I have spent & where. It’s all there on screen.
    1
  12463.  @mbd6054  One other reason for using a card is that I don’t have to bother carrying a lot of local currency. My purchases show up as £ rather than the local currency. Meaning the conversion is done for me. One way and another I have been using cards since the late 1960s. Never had an insurmountable problem.
    1
  12464.  Paul  I find cards much easier to use than faffing around with local currencies. Plus these days how do you get cash without a card.
    1
  12465.  Paul  Why do people need to stop shopping on line. There is a much greater choice on line. I can find items in minutes rather than drive 10 miles to town & back without finding what I am looking for.
    1
  12466.  @funkam0nkey  True but how do you get cash to the bank when many small towns don’t have a bank. We were told not a problem. Pay in at a Post Office instead. Post offices are becoming few & far between. For insurance purposes taking large amounts of money to the bank means paying a security firm to do the work. Even carrying as little as £8 or £9 hundred pounds to a night safe puts employees at risk & can have insurance implications. Keeping cash on site encourages robbery or burglary.
    1
  12467.  @funkam0nkey  Is it perhaps time to bow to the as you see it the inevitable & get out while you still can ?

  12474.  @initialyze  If you are in a position that you can’t afford to be identified perhaps you may consider staying out of the kitchen. One problem for the PPC is that they have to be all things to all people. They are effectively seen as wrong whatever they do. Perhaps we could try defunding the police. Let’s see how people like that.

  12475.  @Lbm414.Oleg.Kuznetsov.  Sorry don’t agree. Not had many dealings with the police but they have always been OK with me. I remember the police house in the village. It’s in someways a pity that’s gone.

  12515. You won’t go to jail. Not being correctly licensed was decriminalised over 40 years ago. It is a little disappointing that so many people appear ignorant of the law. But I suppose the undereducated are loved by former President Trump.

  12516.  @leet3207 Reasons some hydrant pressures were low the electric companies switched off the power to protect their infrastructure.

  12517.  @deannilvalli6579  Overbooking caused the queues. How can you blame Brexit for the ferries over booking ?
    1
  12518.  @deannilvalli6579  Not funny for those held up by overbooking. I pass through Dover on a coach up to six times a year. We have reached the holding area from entering the port in as little as half an hour. The longest transit time from entry to holding area just over 45 minutes.

  12535. You could we be correct about traffic cameras . One place it can be a problem is ticket-less car parks that rely on number plate recognition cameras.
    1
  12536.  @Logans3Run If the Police hand out a suspect’s name it can effect the result of any subsequent trial. The alleged perp’s lawyer will use it as a defence saying the publicity will have ruined his chance of a fair trial. Ask for the case to be thrown out.

  12539. The police were doing their job. The people had gathered in a way that contravened Covid restrictions. To protect ourselves & others my wife and I have been sticking to the rules. We expect the police to act when other people break the regs. Just as we expect when people are doing anything that could put peoples lives in danger.
    1
  12540.  @rivermoon6190  I think not. I remember that Bo-Jo told us March 2020 that give it three months & Covid-19 would be more or less sorted. So I definitely don’t believe all they tell me. I am going on :- A dead sister in law. Friends going into hospital on oxygen. A friend who has lost his brother in law & a next door neighbour. Over 100,000 dead in the UK alone. I also remember poliomyelitis. Even with some local shut downs. People dead, walking in leg irons or in iron lungs. My father was one of thirteen, seven made it to adulthood the rest died of various infections. The last person to die of smallpox in the UK did so in my lifetime in a fever Hospital & within eight miles of my birthplace. It’s a pity about the law which appears rather too draconian. It’s also a pity that people are intent on providing the government an excuse to say. Look it’s needed.

  12541. @mikescott2099Looks like you have been taken in by a big lie. The BBC is funded by UK inhabitants who buy a BBC licence alongside money from the worldwide commercial operations.

  12545.  @snakeman9902 When I started work in 1959 we weren’t lumbered with car’s blocking our streets. We got round on bikes & motorcycles. Perhaps with a sidecar when we got married. Maggie Thatcher convinced us that we needed to lumber ourselves with the expense & hassle that comes with car ownership.
    1
  12546.  @sunnybnk  I started work In 1959. 6,500 people worked in the factory only about 250 cars in care park. Another factory with 2,000 plus employees only had quite a small car park. At nighttime our streets weren’t clogged with parked cars. We didn’t spend a fortune continuously buying & running the things. Buying & running has kept many people poor.

  12547. I have been spending about three weeks in the area each year. There are plenty of flood defences.

  12548. Why on earth does anyone think that a President Biden should be in peace talks with President Putin over his getting Alaska back. Putin should be told no and leave it at that.

  12549.  @BlaineLefebvre That would cause more damage to the SSSI than his Aberdeen golf course already has. Plus I am not sure how many countries laws allow private property to be grabbed.

  12558. Biden is bringing positive results. Could be even better if the Republicans stopped blocking the Border Bill.

  12559. I thought that changes to the hours came about partly because especially female MPs found the long hours caused family responsibility problems.

  12564. Why wait.

  12565. Unfortunately war is war & people are injured or killed. It’s a pity loser Putin started the war. Hitler took over Poland in short order. How long has Putin been at it & no sign of competing the job.
    1
  12566. Do I remember President Trump saying one of the reasons he admires President Putin is that. Putin always gets his way. Zelensky says different.
    1
  12567. The latest arrests around the bridge blasts make it look like it was bombed by Russians. Looks like the Ukrainian government had nothing to do with it.

  12588. To put the record straight. The BBC did report on it. Both on radio & TV.
    1
  12589.  @ilovereadingthehistoryofUSAinc  Can’t remember the details but i remember it was reported on the BBC 4 Today programme & later on BBC One TV 6pm news. If links are there I am sure you will find them.

  12598. @LL-LLLL9 I don’t pay for a licence. The wife who likes watching TV does.
    1
  12599. @LL-LLLL9 I haven’t. The wife does.
    1
  12600. @ Nowhere have I said that there is no need to pay the licence fee if someone is doing something that needs a licence. But there is no need if you don’t. Seems a bit odd that the U.K. has ANPR to check that road vehicles are correctly licenced. That a property is correctly if left largely to people’s honesty. Perhaps the U.K. could move to a premium on phone & broadband bill like they do in the Republic of Ireland. Russia from general taxation & people don’t complain.
    1
  12601. How did JD and the President manage to screw up the deal.
    1
  12602. Yep. He has let water out of two reservoirs. Let it run away rather than be stored for the dry season. That water doesn’t flow to Southern California. It’s on it’s way to the Pacific.
    1
  12603. Why ?
    1
  12604. There is a man from Derbyshire, United Kingdom who found his photograph showing on a USA ICE list. He has a tattoo on his left arm that according to the USA ID’s him as a member of a South American gang. He will never travel to the U.S.A.
    1
  12605.  @janetjennison1122 No reason they should be.

  12606. Nothing to do with passing an MOT. Charge is determined by pollution level when a vehicle left the factory.
    1
  12607. Would it have been down to The President ?
    1
  12608. No threat. The TV Licence people are charged with making sure that properties are licensed correctly. That includes logging that a property does not need a licence. If a property does not need a licence not having one means it’s licensed correctly.

  12609. The King is being fleeced. That station should be £200 a night as an Air B&B.

    1
  12614. Does this mean I should stop peeing in the stream ?

  12617.  @arealscotsman  In my experience I don’t get many people up my arse at 20 in a 20 limit. Don’t know how many miles I have driven on 4 or more wheels but over 200k on motorcycles. A friend says that central Coventry, England has a 20mph limit. He does not find it a problem.

  12618.  @arealscotsman  Good to see a war that aims to get fewer people dead & injured.

  12619.  @arealscotsman  Your evidence to back up that statement is ? I could claim that you’re the most handsome man in the world. But I don’t have evidence to back that up either.
    1
  12620.  @arealscotsman  Correct I am not Scottish. Never claimed to be. But one way or another I drive in Scotland. I have made it to Out Skerries, Skaw Beach & Old Shore Moor places that many Scots have not even heard of.
    1
  12621.  @arealscotsman  I believe this video is around 20mph limits in Wales. Could you perhaps take your own advice ?

  12623.  @arealscotsman  Don’t know when I will be in your area. Dumfries & Galloway at the end of last month. Isle of Wight later this week. Possibly New Berwick next month.

  12624.  @arealscotsman  I did indeed. You are the one who suggested staying in my own country. If that applies is it reasonable to suggest you do the same ? :-)

  12625.  @arealscotsman  I have not mentioned Scottish politics.

  12626.  @johntate5050  I agree but less damage done at 20. Could even give drivers/riders the ability to stop before impact.

  12627.  @YourPalHDee  What’s countdown ?
    1
  12628.  @YourPalHDee  I have discovered Countdown is daytime TV. If I find myself watching I will know I have died & gone to hell. Being retired I have much more time to drive to many more places than I could while working. I live on an unsuitable for HGV lane so no pubic transport. Just dropping things off to my daughter involves a 300 mile round day trip. Last month I finally drove between Scotch Corner & Penrith as part a home Hartlepool, Dumfries & Galloway, back to home trip. 2,200 miles in less than two weeks. How can I afford to drive & holiday so much. Started paying NI at the age of 15. Apart from a mortgage which I paid off five years & early & some HP in 1978 I have stayed out of dept. Also paid into a private pension. At one time the mortgage rate went up to 17% I kept paying the same each month when the rate went down. That’s how I paid off five years early.

  12631.  @nightshiftblues Just reporting the facts.

  12633.  @cardboardboxification Even so it’s a real problem.
    1
  12634. Unfortunately for Beto if he gets in. Give it a year & he will start getting the blame. Even though failing infrastructure could be down citizens voting in people who don’t do anything about it. Rail in Texas is that also suffering from cut backs to maintenance like it is in other places.

  12635. Russia has a much say as the US.

  12636.  @jimmyc974  I wonder was that something Russia signed. Saying you leave use alone & don’t join NATO and we will leave you alone. It’s Russia that broke that deal.

  12641.  @TheSharpy088  Not at all sure I believe that. Who are the first three. Is it China, India, the USA then the U.K. ? Sorry to say I don’t believe that the U.K. economy is that big. Especially when I keep seeing Brits saying the country has gone down the slot & is now bankrupt.

  12649.  @ZootYoot  For me it’s getting my dinner on time.
    1
  12650.  @gamania122  Yep like the Golden Dawn Brexit was supposed to bring. All that money for the NHS on the side of a bus. Even a suggestion that waiting list may disappear. On the bright side I am a pensioner. Will be getting an above inflation raise. Happy days.

  12654. Didn’t Trump say no nuclear weapons for Kim ?
    1
  12655.  @miller5170  She defo won’t roll over and let Kim tickle her tummy. Let’s face it Trump could not even LOCK HER UP. Putin has signed a declaration saying the sale of Alaska was illegal. That he going to return it to Russian control. Is Trump on the phone arranging to hand it over. Trump says Putin always gets what he wants.
    1
  12656.  @mrschuyler  I only watched for just over four minutes. But where is live it would have been straight to breath test. To either over or under the limit. No need to mess around getting there. The same goes for every driver involved in a road traffic accident.

  12657.  @YinzerTracy  Your point is ? It may have been a photoshop creation. She is not even blowing into it. My point is why all the faffing about.
    1
  12658.  @boum62  The U.K. signed up to international treaties when they left the EU then told the world. Up yours we aren’t going to stick to those treaties. We have ripped them up. The U.K. has proven they can’t be trusted.

  12667. Can you afford to sell your piece of vulnerable land & buy elsewhere ?

    1
  12683. @AnonJohn143 climate change isn’t sentient so is incapable of being evil. But it is becoming destructive. There are low lying areas that are waterlogged. One way to kill house plants is to overwater. Waterlogged fields also kill crops.
    1
  12684. @AnonJohn143 Nature can not be evil. The fact there are a lot of waterlogged fields killing off crops. Isn’t evil. Even the rain isn’t evil. It’s just a fact of nature. I am not even sure that l people who think climate change is a hoax are evil.

  12706.  @liquiddevil7396  I have a disability. I have learned to get on with it. My aim is not to be a burden. Rather than like some use it as a route to entitlement. Is your disability having a nasty mind.

  12715.  @The_Reality_Filter  Just take a look around at solar farms. The batteries are often in nondescript grey enclosures . Usually look like squat windowless sheds. May l leave you to work out why the location of battery filled sheds is kept on the QT.

  12716.  @The_Reality_Filter  Take a look inside the solar farm on the Fosse Way where it passes under the Birmingham/Oxford rail line. You may need to climb over the fence to see it, but it’s there. Like most of them hidden away out of sight from the road.

  12790.  @jacka9612  I don’t keep studies anymore than I expect you do. But there have been studies on different schemes over at least four decades. Every one has come up with the conclusion that on balance. The different barrages would be a bad idea.

  12804.  @sarahstrong7174  They are spending a fortune on bike lanes round out way. I remember my birth village has a regular bus in the 50s & 60s. Unfortunately as car ownership increased bus use dropped right off. Buses aren’t going to run without passengers. Bring back the passengers & the chance of a profit. Will also bring back the buses.
    1
  12805.  @sarahstrong7174  I don’t have a rational explanation for that.
    1
  12806.  @Zaf2010  I am in the same situation apart from the nearest village having two gastro pubs. Brought about largely by access to personal motor transport. Most people stopped using the bus so that went. Easy to reach a supermarket in the local town so the shop went. People no longer willing to accept the small school facilities so that went & children are driven to town. The two village pubs head offices are not keen on people popping in for a beer. People are only welcome if they want a meal.

    1
  12817.  @MikeEves  You don’t know if my gun is correctly licensed. The Police can turn up at any time complete to carry a spot check on gun, license & cartridge storage. Making it a very good idea to be correctly licensed. The gun or guns need stored in an appropriate cabinet. Same goes for cartridges. Unlike TV licensing you can’t say no thanks & close the door.
    1
  12818.  @katbryce  Not at all sure either of those will work. Why, they have been put forward a number of times over the years. People have commented. Tried that does not work. Others have claimed they have. Also if they were a thing & a possibility of work for the legal profession I would have expected the BBB to have put them forward. Not all laws are created equal. Some take precedence over others.

  12821.  @BazilRat  I can only speak for us but. They don’t chase us at one property. We have not heard from them for possibly a year. But we have informed them that it don’t have a TV or anything that can receive it. No broadband either. So many people comment that they ignore communications. Or even claim that they have not had a licence for years but it have not stopped their TV working. Not surprised to hear about people being chased. Personally even though the U.K. system does give everyone the option whether they need to pay or not. Possibly turn to something like a charge on phone & broadband bill. Perhaps a premium on electricity bills or just out of general taxation. It would mean no choice but would stop a lot of whining.

    1
  12853.  @equaltoreality8028  Just what goes against individual rights. Vehicle use being restricted or having to breath polluted air ? I suppose both could be said to be a right. But which one takes precedence ?
    1
  12854.  @equaltoreality8028  The is a certain amount of choice about using a vehicle. No choice when it comes to breathing. Things do change. In 1960 when I only had a provisional license & could not ride on even the short bit of the M1 that existed. Lutterworth to Eastbourne meant. A5 through St Albans and down to Marble Arch were the A5 ended. Then pick up A22 down to the coast. Could go through London with barely a hold up. Even with congestion zone charges traffic has increased so much that repeating that would take hours. Vehicles exhausts have been cleaned up a lot but pollution is up to the level in many U.K. cities where it would have attract fines from the E.U. Voting Brexit headed that off. But does nothing to reduce pollution. Again some choice on how much pollution is produced. No choice when it comes to breathing.

  12894.  @smelltheglove2038  My mate living just above 50 degrees north could charge his Tesla with power to spare. His wife now has an EV so spare power is now only available on sunny days in the summer. He had money to invest solar & the Powerwall is giving good return. That return effectively improves ever time the power company puts the price up. But it’s not for everyone. I am surrounded by 40ft trees that apart from just over three months of the year shade my roof.

  12909.  @loveleyday  My mate doesn’t see EV as rubbish. But he does have a cracking setup. Solar panels, a PowerWall plus two EV that also used as power storage if required. The setup results in minimal household elasticity bills. He uses his Tesla to tow a fixed double bed caravan. Never does over 200 miles a day. He can recharge at caravan sites. His wife uses her MG 4 mostly as a run about for shopping, lunch with the girls etc. They also say service & maintenance costs are significantly less than their previous ICE cars. E.ON are now offering deals on solar with or without storage. Plus discounts on the fitting of EV charges. My mate recons he is getting better return on his investment than having the money in the bank. I can’t follow. Do not have the money to invest. Also surrounded by 40ft trees panels would not receive enough sun.

  12910.  @loveleyday  Are you sure ‘Governments’ are charging people to feed into the grid ?
    1
  12911.  @loveleyday  There is value in them there batteries. It is apparently a complicated process but EV batteries are starting to be reprocessed. Small household batteries have been reprocessed for years. It’s just a matter of time. Just over a hundred years ago it was why move from steam. Wood & coal are readily available but gas stations don’t exist. Leading to restricted range for ICE vehicles.

  12912.  @BedsitBob  Would that put the renter in the same situation as me when I rent a car for my own use. The agreements have always made it clear that I can’t loan the car to a third person. Will the same apply to scooter rental agreements. Will the person who loans it out be in breach of their rental agreement ?

  12913. Trump has shown that the US is weak. He told the world that he could end Russias invasion of Ukraine within 24 of him becoming sworn in. Hasn’t happened. Not even slowed the invasion. Just another embarrassment for the US.

  12919. What a load of tosh. The Democrats managed to get huge infrastructure spending through despite Republicans trying to stop it.

  12920. How are the police going to even identify two masked men wearing gloves. In a place like London they have no chance. I don’t want the police spending time when they have no chance of catching anyone.

  12921. @ Trump is all mouth and no trousers. He said he would stop Kim developing nuclear weapons. Kim developed them along with rockets to deliver them. What did Trump do ? He rolled over and let Kim tickle his tummy. Let’s face it he couldn’t even Lock Her Up.

  12926.  @chrisnieto5547  We had closure of lots of things every year during the Poliomyelitis season. It was a bit of a relief when when they developed a vaccine & beat it. Wearing masks, things closed. Reminds me of the old days.
    1
  12927.  @chrisnieto5547  Poliomyelitis is an infection caused by the poliovirus. A vaccine was developed at the beginning of the 1950s. Wikipedia has an entry. The entry if printed on A4 would properly take up about eight pages inc. Photos and diagrams. At the end of each Polio season the local press would repot, deaths, people who had been left physically deformed or living in an iron lung, It also had a tendency to leave sufferers with a shorted life expectancy. Search Polio in Wikipedia for more info.

  12930.  @rajeshx1983  They reported generally plus in some depth on the Radio 4 Today Programme. ( 06.hr to 09hr 6 days a week. ) But as always the news cycle moves on.
    1
  12931.  @rajeshx1983  That’s all well & good. But to put it crudely. The average person is not that interested. As was recognised as far back as before the Roman Empire. The public wants bread & circus. They are not generally bothered about something that doesn’t affect them & they can do little about it. Plus what the BBC has reported has led to some accusations of poking their nose into other peoples business.

  12937. With the changing climate, food & general shortages quite a few of the earths 8 billion population are starting to move. How can a small island with a population of approximately 70 million do anything to stop it.

  12942.  @paultaylor7082  You comment mirrors almost exactly what has been said on the BBC. As you say a criminal conviction will impact on all sorts of things including insurance premiums.

  12943. Trump country in a British accent.

  12951.  @webapple1  These comments are with a BBC video.
    1
  12952. The BBC has reported it. On radio, TV on their news website & on at least one of their YouTube channels. But as others have said. The media has to be careful what they publish. The alleged perpetrators brief will jump on anything that could be said to stop the alleged getting a fair trial.

  12955. There are many tunnels under Edge Hill, Liverpool, England. They know who paid for the work. But can’t see why. There is a feeling that the merchant had them dug as a make work for people returning from the Napoleonic wars.

  12966. In a town near me they turn the side road street lights off at midnight. I have not been to look but I am told that the lights on the main roads in town are unlit after 2am. Perhaps that’s the reason they need to police the vehicle parked with the traffic flow more than they did.

    1
  12994.  @profsakharov1191  This is true to a certain extent. We made changes to the front of some property five years ago. Google Street View is over five years out of date. The plot next door has building that has been there at least three years. It’s missing from the satellite view. So Google is not so much use after all. ‘Auditors’ visits on YouTube can show so much more & provide up to date intel.
