All peachy, other than shitty bit in the middle.

If only weโ€™d all accepted add breaks were part of providing free to air coverage. Then we wouldnโ€™t be in the situation we are now with it behind a higher and higher paywall.

Not sure whom it is but itโ€™s obviously someone obnoxious enough I blocked a long time ago.

I remember dragging my mum here as a child. I canโ€™t remember if we had to pay or anything all I remember is it being empty. To be fair it could have been heaving, I wouldnโ€™t have noticed, I was absolutely hooked.

WelshGov releases July 25 report on the first 18 months of the "award winning" default 20mph limit for urban and village roads. Speeds down, 26% fewer casualties and little change in journey times. Lives saved, liveability increased bit.ly/40rfUZl

That is a good point. But as the French havenโ€™t had a winner on bastille day since 2017 or 18 so theyโ€™ll probably just shrug.

TNT would need to have people there instead of just screaming in a green studio in the Netherlands or whoever they are. I.e. theyโ€™d need actual journalists.

I think pretending itโ€™s autobiographical whilst claiming they were the victim of some kind of unscrupulous business scam whilst fact being the criminals perhaps goes beyond embellishing.

I support Palestine Action.
I hate all forms of violence.
I wish no harm on anyone.
I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world.
Apparently this makes me a terrorist.
But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

Whilst thereโ€™s zero vat on new build and 20% vat on renovation, maintenance or refurb costs then this will continue. But the mass house builders are happy for that to continue.

YouTube video by Double Down News Sharing This Video Could Get You 14 Years in Prison

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.
You're going to need a bigger prison.

Well done for redefining the meaning of terrorism. Let me guess your support for the Palestinian people goes as far some heartfelt handwringing.

23.06.2025 20:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Reform certainly will. Just imagine the groups they think this legitimatises them in calling terror groups.

23.06.2025 20:46 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Whatever you may think of Palestinian Action unless we all stand and say we support them and shown how nonsensical and hysterical the Home Secretaryโ€™s decision is it wonโ€™t be long before the meaning of terrorism has been redefined to mean anything the govt of the day finds inconvenient.

23.06.2025 20:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I support Palestinian Action and urge others to do the same. They are non-violent, direct action campaigners, not terrorists. At time of writing this is still a legal statement.

Again H/E have done a huge amount of work on this & the new guidance has been out for over a year at least. Often c/oโ€™s are blithely, as you did with your meme, made out to be a road block when that isnโ€™t the case.

21.06.2025 09:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I would refer to the H/E guidance and the B&NES work others have mentioned. No conservation officers arenโ€™t about to start supporting the ripping out of 200 year old embedded carbon in sound windows to replace with UPVC with 20 year life span when secondary glazing will provide much of the benefit.

21.06.2025 08:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

This isnโ€™t just the approach at B&NES, itโ€™s the approach that should be being adopted across the country, and B&NES are providing brilliant outreach to other authorities. But most authorities lack anything like the resource B&NES have. And many donโ€™t have any conservation input at all.

But I love the Conservation officers are killing people tack.

This completely fails to recognise the actual view of conservation teams. Unfortunately a lot of DM planners will just say no to this stuff at pre-app. Internal box shutters with sash windows are great for cooling & venting. Donโ€™t see why well designed external shutters would necessarily cause harm

Shameful that you label
Palestinian Action a terror group. Netanyahu commits actual genocide and you side with him.

Not this evening. With other panelists it sounds like it could have been an intelligent conversation for once. But Gilesโ€™ rhetoric, which I can only view as some sort of shtick to get him bookings these days, has just made me turn the thing straight off.
