But if you are older you know you know

One day we will look back on these times with incredulity that the BBC correspondents and other media outlets kept seeking to analyse what Trump was saying instead of just reporting it as the rambling nonsense everyone else can see it to be.

Get those wind farms built overlooking his golf course asap

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name

Dear journalists: Shut up about the “special relationship”. There is UK reliance on the US but for the time being there is no special relationship in any meaningful sense and talking as if there still is sounds ridiculous

Wasn’t that always the plan ?

To tackle the housing crisis, the Treasury must rethink how it values social housing investment - LabourList If Labour wants a step change in social housing, the Treasury must change how it appraises investment. Building social rented homes cuts welfare costs, improves health and delivers long-term returns.

'If we really want to get a sea change in social housing delivery, the way HM Treasury views investment in housing must shift'

The fight back from the silent majority begins

Strap him and Chalobah up and between them they’ll have two good legs.

They will announce the preferred bidder to coincide with Ugbo scoring the 90th minute winner tomorrow night.🤣🤣🤣

They will time the announcement to coincide with Palmers 90th minute winner tomorrow night. 😉

He has complete authority within his own head and sadly some parts our media think he is actually already in control

Seems like Farage has played the UK media again as they go overboard on his reported dinner with Trump to specifically discuss Chagos only for Trump to cancel (assuming it was ever real ) He is a one man job creation scheme for political reporters.

Yes I was surprised when they arrived so early last year. Perhaps DC wanted them to hand out to all his interested investors 😉

Just seen he passed away yesterday

RIP Country Joe McDonald. Another figure from my formative years passes.

It’s stuck with me too, ever since our teacher brought it into a 4th Form English lesson and played it on the school
Hacker record player and then just said … Discuss !

Just rewatched the clip and after 50 years I know all the words youtu.be/nXspsfoPX50?...

🎵 And it's 1, 2, 3
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is in Iran

And it's 5, 6, 7
Open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee!
We're all going to die🎵

RIP Country Joe

Thanks. I did wonder as the ‘24 Accounts were posted in Dec ‘25 but I guess Admins are taking advantage of the full 9 months permissible.

One for any football accounting experts out there. Are Clubs still required to file annual accounts within the statutory time limits if they have entered Administration or do they get a dispensation ? Just thinking #swfc haven’t published any since yr ending July ‘24.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the US,Israel and Russian Governments just like killing people.

‘It means missile defence on data centres’: drone strikes raises doubts over Gulf as AI superpower Iran’s targeting of commercial datacentres in the UAE and Bahrain signals a new frontier in asymmetric warfare

reminded of my ISO 27001 days and wondering how many people had "data centre hit by Iranian missile" on their risk register?

Still hardly any media coverage of what is happening in Israel itself. I find that strange, are the population going about their lives as normal ? Are Iran’s drones and missiles all getting destroyed en route ?
