Why? What did it say?

I still remember those grainy images though I was only 6. Dad got us up to watch it live as well.
I also remember watching the people clinging to helicopter skids as the last Americans were evacuated from the roof of the US Embassy in Vietnam.

Of course law abiding, safe products with legit carriers are going to take the detour to Sevington (and increase their costs)
And of course the cowboys and purveyors of rotten meat are heading for a South London lockup to transfer their rotting cargo to anonymous vehicles.

Not just another Epstein distraction?

Never mind who won. Did the guy on the right stay up?

And the only question left is,
What will be the next distraction?

Fuck me. Is it?

No, apparently on the contract with the private waste contractor the fine is per battery.

She won't forget next time 😉

Add one word to a film to ruin it.

Goodbye Mr Fish+Chips

I think this is how we know they aren't going to allow free and fair elections.

Only Blair and Thatcher believe in the special relationship and one of them's dead. (Not entirely sure which one.)

You're wasting your time Suzy.

On the other hand, the men making the news today are the best possible advert for women the world could have today. What a shame that will change nothing!

It's his only useful function. Of course he should go. He's above politics so doesn't have to say anything about the rights and wrongs, just Make it stop.
Although I suspect it already will have by then, in which case he definitely shouldn't go.

Didn't disqualification used to be a thing?

This chimes with so much of my lived experience that I think John Lanchester must be 62 years, 9 months and 8 days old.
An extraordinary article.

This sounds as though you know what you're talking about.
Is it just oil/gas storage tanks and is that a relatively easy fix?
Isn't all the associated pipework as much or more of a problem?
How far away are the big money items from the big flames?

If the IRGC remains intact, it's another bad guy.

That’s why we shouldn’t help the US. What would we be helping to achieve exactly? A story of our subjugation as much as Iran‘s. None of this is in our interest.

A surprising number!

Absolutely anyone who can afford the tens of millions it costs to have his institute come down on their side of an argument.

That was a good episode. As disagreeable a disagreement as I think they've had so far.

Very true. The problem with "-isms" is that they tend to be driven by extremists who can't make mistakes.

Prime Ministers get this anyway without destroying their historical legacy. In centuries to come (if the species survives) schoolchildren will study the one overriding, catastrophic mistake he made and how it destroyed absolutely all the good he did. I doubt a few extra quid is worth that knowledge.

He's changed his justification over the years though - strongly suggests to me that he knows it was wrong.

He must look back (and forward) at Obama's place in history and think,
"If only I'd just said no."
Half of him probably knew it was wrong and foolish at the time which would make it worse now. It's broken him over the years because he could have been right up there amongst the Greats.

The birth place of the "There is a good Brexit but it went to a different school" movement?

🤣

Didn't he once say it was a mission from God?
