Cheshire van driver cleared of dangerous driving after four-year-old's death Four-year-old Esmé Rose Weir was run over as she rode her scooter along the pavement to pre-school.

In the news today, a cyclist on the pavement who killed a man is charged with manslaughter.

By contrast, here's a van driver who killed a little girl. He was driving on the pavement: common, and illegal. Killed her. Only charged with dangerous driving. Fully let off.

New McDonald's drive-thru rejected due to health concerns The proposed new fast-food restaurant was earmarked for largely underutilised land off the busy main road near the town centre

So it *is* possible to reject fast-food outlets. Someone tell Stockport's planning department!

Labour hates the poor
Labour hates the planet
Labour hates disabled people
Labour hates trans people

Labour LOVES the very rich, and will do anything to help them. At YOUR cost.
Labour is NOT on your side. Unless you're extremely rich.

Two points:

1. They’re not “expats” they’re “migrants.”

2. Them abandoning their pets will hopefully give each and every one of these people just a little bit of insight into the incredibly hard decisions refugees have to make when they’re fleeing war zones.

This 18-year-old Afghan girl nearly escaped the Taliban – then we took her visa away She resisted a forced marriage and studied in secret, winning scholarships to leave Kabul and attend a British university. But now the home secretary’s ban on study visas has removed her one chance…

"Britain has decided that the girl who fought the Taliban’s agenda, who learned English in secret, who turned down a forced marriage, who won her place, is an asylum risk.
Her name is Bahar. She is 18 years old. She did everything we asked of her."

There is no special relationship. There has never been a special relationship. We just speak English. That's it.

Once again I am duty bound to point out that in 15 years of living in the US working in media I never once heard a single person, media outlet, consumer, or rando in the bar use the term 'Special Relationship'. It's the "I have a girlfriend but she goes to another school" of international relations.

Trump belittles Starmer with 'no Churchill' jibe but can the special relationship recover? The remarks came amid a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes.

A special relationship is built on mutual love and respect.

An abusive relationship is when your partner belittles you, gives nothing back, threatens you, keeps negatively comparing you to an ex partner and despite it all assumes you'll always be there for them.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]

…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which are…?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm.

A fairly famous Tesla scene from London. My feeling was always that if these cars are so technologically advanced, this simply shouldn't be possible.

But while fanboys disagree, Grok went one step further when someone asked it to analyse the scene. Apparently no crash and no failure!

This is like a really lame version of those folks who buy houses next to pubs / railway lines and then complain about the noise, or buy houses next to Indian restaurants and complain about the smell. You bought a house next to a church, it's been there since 1829, there's going to be funerals.
