What is Tyneside's favourite South Asian dish?I reckon it’s a Liverpool fan behind this because of the shithousery Newcastle did over freeing Alexander Isak.A scandalous cock-up of Earth shattering magnitude.I saw that. I reckon subtle sabotage. It's quite well done in a way that doesn't scream 'wrong' at you straight away e.g. the bridges and coastline are not shown.

Your comment should have been made after the lyrics, would have scanned wellAnd freshly topical.R4 WATO spent 5 minutes on the Jerusalem murders, another 5 on the death of Supertamp's Rick Davies and a 35 minute hatchet job on the Government. Now that is fair enough, but surely any pretence that the BBC are still impartial needs to be clarified. The BBC should, like the press media endorse a specific party so we the viewer and listener know where we are, be that Reform or the Conservatives. The Charter is no longer applied.Supertramp came up with two 10/10 songs in 1979 imo: Breakfast In America and the Logical Song.

Paul McCartney apparently said at the time that the Logical Song was the best song he'd heard in 10 years.
I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Sunniest spring on record.Does anyone here have, or know about, Feed in tariffs for Solar Panels? We get a cheque every three months and Jun/JulAug was the same as Mar/Apr/May, thought it would be moreLast year it was £200 then £300, this year both were £300… maybe we just had a sunnier spring
England and Wales sunshine series: spring 687.4 hours, summer 628.8 hours.
Solar strength is a little higher in summer as it peaks on 21 June, but not that much.

Maybe Seb Coe is still jealous that Steve Cram was a better athlete and this is him getting even.Maybe people did spot it but were ignored, just like when the London Olympics logo was kept despite many pointing out it looked like Lisa Simpson giving a blow job. It might be coincidence that Lord Coe was involved in both.A scandalous cock-up of Earth shattering magnitude.

It's nice design though, other than the cartographical cock-up - far more interesting than mine from seven (crikey! really?) years ago
Fascinating to know the source of the cockup - some incorrectly labelled stock artwork that was used as a base? But how the heck does no-one involved spot that in advance?

It's probably more what he knows he's going to have to do now on the government payroll!I want to know what he did to look so coy and shameful about!https://x.com/transportgovuk/status/1964967200806384048?s=19Good northern lad. I can only assume that rail and road links across Yorkshire will be getting a significant upgrade
You cant look at the picture and conclude anything other than hes very very sorry
(Selby MP, I've voted for him twice, making him only the second Labour Westminster candidate I've voted for. He is very visible locally, FWIW, I've run into him a few times since his election.)
(Or disappointment with the offered role - "What? Transport? Oh yes, that would be... lovely.")

"Security concerns spiralled after probation officials refused to assess his risk because rules forbid checks on psychiatric patients."#Maybe I'm imagining it but I'm sure the left used to criticise judges a long time ago when they had a reputation for being extremely conservative, old-fashioned, etc.Reading the judges comments, it sounds like he’s addressing a teenage orphan who has been in trouble for shopliftingI doubt I want this bastard out on the streets any more than you do. But once again it is an attack by far right figures Farage and Jenrick on the judiciary and individual judges. Surely there must be some sort of guidance he has to use. If there is a problem with this MF's release it is the Government's responsibility not that of the Judge who is following their rules.
A JUDGE has sparked fury by wishing the 7/7 bombings mastermind “all the best” as he prepares to walk free.
Sir Robert Jay sympathised with al-Qaeda fiend Haroon Aswat, 50, who will be released from hospital to Yorkshire despite police fears he remains a threat.

Re: The challenge for the… Green parties – politicalbetting.com
You are right. Paying the licence fee for the BBC to produce fawning, but tacit endorsements of Reform is inappropriate. Endorse Reform by all means, but not with licence payers's money.R4 WATO spent 5 minutes on the Jerusalem murders, another 5 on the death of Supertamp's Rick Davies and a 35 minute hatchet job on the Government. Now that is fair enough, but surely any pretence that the BBC are still impartial needs to be clarified.

The Charter is no longer applied.I agree, scrap the licence fee.
Re: The challenge for the… Green parties – politicalbetting.com
Sky reported that Starmer wanted to move Miliband to housing and it was strongly repudiated by Miliband
That would confirm rumours Starmer and Reeves are looking to review the policies on climate change, but also how weak he is as PM when he cannot move a minister that is popular with the membership
I have no doubt Starmer and Reeves are moving to the right not least because they have to, and I expect both union and worker rights legislation, promoted by Rayner, to be put on ice in an attempt to boost businesses and of course growth
