Completely off topic but is anyone having problems with Netflix currently on a Smart TV? Not working currently with either TV despite both showing a solid internet signal and it working just fine on my phone app.
Netflix is shit and never shows anything I want to see, except trash.
Given up on it.
I cancelled Netflix in July 21, my wife didn’t realise until the following February.
Waste of time. Very little worth watching.
Unlike the BBC I have the ability to cancel this and not pay for it.
“Were there no Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world that is safe,” Biden says at the White House Hanukkah party as he reaffirms support for Israel against its war against Hamas.
That's a rather bizarre thing to say.
There are roughly as many Jews in the USA as Israel. Is he telling them that they are not safe there?
I think he saying that a world which allows the destruction of Israel will be a much more dangerous one for Jews.
Can any legislator be this stupid, or do some not care about being openly pro-Putin anymore?
I mean, Christ, 'promising he will not continue any further invasions'? Yes, I'm sure having succeeded in his various invasions to date by giving him a deal he would totally uphold a promise this time.
TBF, Leon, with his rather larger brain, is making essentially the same argument.
I would think she is effectively sponsored by Russia.
Leon I am less sure about.
He could be a Russian AI troll bot that has gone tonto?

Definitely able to not pay for BBC just give up on live TV and the I player and get Netflix instead!
You’d think. But the inquiry is (perplexingly) focused on the process by which decisions were reached, rather than the quality of the decisions themselves.
I keep myself warm of an evening imagining that somewhere there is an academic department or group of civil servants who are charged with actually learning the lessons of the pandemic. Rather than the very, very expensive lesson we seem to being shown of "various people had different ideas, and sometimes panicked and sometimes quibbled in the face of something more serious than tomorrows Express headline".
Or indeed that there was something more serious than an Express headline.
I hope there is a whole module on Sweden and they will actually talk to Anders Tegnel.
But I guess I am dreaming.
If we had followed Tegnel's lead the number of deaths in the UK would have been astronomically higher. The Swedish death rate compared to all of their neighbours was shameful.
Well let's look at excess deaths over time which was part of Tegnel's argument.
But whatever. All I am asking is this inquiry actually inquire into something that has some real meat about the next time we get hit by some kind of bat flu thing.
If Sweden were so wrong then bring it into the inquiry, debate it, quiz people, look at data and so on.
But oh no, much more important to look at whether a senior civil servant called another a c*** on Whatsapp.
To be fair, whoever said that would be both correct and suffering from an epochal self awareness fail.

So let me get this straight. Sunak is threatening an early election when he is (optimistically) 11 percentage points or (realistically) closer to 20 percentage points behind in the polls if he cannot pass his idiotic bill to drive forward his imbecilic policy re Rwanda?
Is the UK government trying to make Yousaf's government look vaguely credible? Both governments are using exorbitant quantities of effort to drive forward bills that are not particularly popular, divisive and doomed not to work. Both are facing almost insuperable hurdles in the courts, even if they get them through. Both seem totally oblivious to what people are actually worried about but have convinced themselves that this is some sort of test of purity that they cannot abandon.
Perhaps the Covid Inquiry could be redirected. There is clearly a new virus to worry about.
The lengths that retailers are having to go to to try and persuade the Police that shoplifting is still a prosecutable offence get ever more desperate: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-67687565
At least from a Police Scotland point of view this crime wave doesn't seem to involve any accountancy. They should go for it.
"Carols at a London Christmas market have been cancelled for the rest of the year after 7,000 people descended on the service, which had gone viral on TikTok.
Huge crowds of visitors came to take part in carolling at Columbia Road in Bethnal Green, east London, causing “a danger to public safety”.
The vicar of St Peter’s Bethnal Green, which leads the services, announced that the events due to be held on the next two Wednesdays in December were cancelled after the road became “dangerously overrun”.
In a statement, Rev Heather Atkinson said the church was “grateful to God and to those working at the event that there were no serious injuries”."
To be fair, a crowd of 7000 must be a very unusual sight at a Church Of England church.
"A US citizen "associated with the secret service" has departed the UK despite "assurances" he would not leave following a car crash in Herefordshire that left a nurse unable to walk.
Issac Calderon, 22, was due to appear before magistrates on 1 December. He is accused of causing Elizabeth Donowho serious injury by dangerous driving. Police have told Ms Donowho that he was working on matters "that might come under the Official Secrets Act". A warrant has been issued for his arrest after he failed to appear in court."

It's a weird one. The US Embassy maintains that he is a private citizen.
He is accused of "Causing Serious Injury By Dangerous Driving" - in this case 2 broken ankles, a fractured sternum and a broken hand - which carries a prison sentence of up to 5 years. The injury standard is approximately the same as GBH.
He was identified as a flight risk by the police, yet was not remanded in custody by a Judge.
Unlike Sacoolas we may get this perpetrator back to face justice, but I don't understand why UK authorities made such a comprehensive cockup of the whole thing.
We don't seem to have sufficient powers to impound travel documents.

"The last time a government lost a bill at second reading was 1987."

More in the thread afterwards. Polling for restrictions is particularly strong in Red Wallers.

Netanyahu ought to listen to that advice, too.

“Unable to walk” FOR 6 WEEKS
It’s not to diminish the seriousness of the event but it’s poor journalism
Hardly surprising with the cost of stamps. The Royal Mail is killing one of its golden geese.
Why would you ask them?
