WTF...
Cleveland Police used anti-terror powers to spy on two Press Association journalists, an internal review by the scandal-hit force has uncovered.
It brings the total number of journalists known to have been unwittingly snooped on by Cleveland Police to five.

In principle yes, but it's simply too far ahead to be placing bets, ask me again in two years' time!TheWhiteRabbit said:
Are you prepared to take odds on that?peter_from_putney said:I see the likelihood of the LibDems making a significant recovery, even with Farron at the helm, winning somewhere between 25-35 seats (i.e. 5 - 7 London Cabs full), principally from the Tories.

Chief constable Iain Spittal said: “Following a ruling by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal earlier this year that in 2012 Cleveland Police had, in a small number of instances, used RIPA authorisations unlawfully the force launched a review of all such authorisations dating back to that time.

David, the campaigner who received death threats, believes the independence movement itself has become “the closest thing to a religion”.
He says the atmosphere of the Scottish referendum is incomparable to the EU referendum, divisive as it was: “In the depth of feeling and level this went to, it was a world apart from the EU referendum.”
As for his colleague, a veteran Labour campaigner who had “never experienced that sort of hatred” before, she has only one thing to say about a second referendum: “I think it will be worse.”0 -
I think it is to try and paint the Referendum as illegitimate but honestly trying to work out what goes through the head of Tomkins is a mugs game.0

Maybe she was a Leaver?peter_from_putney said:
Ah .... that is such a sad story and I was so much looking forward to a happy ever after ending. I wonder if she even recalls the experience?TOPPING said:
Airline stories pt. 94OldKingCole said:
Many, many years ago my wife and I were on a half-empty Sydney to Auckland flight. ‘Red, whiet or spraklig?’ asked the steward. ‘Sparkling’ we said. Half an hour later he came back to us. ‘No-one else is drinking this' he said. ‘You might as well have the bottle!"TOPPING said:
A few years ago I took an Emirates flight from HK => London first class. It was a morning flight and I'd been to a party the night before. As such, when I got on the plane, I went straight to sleep. I awoke to find an Emirates air hostess squatting beside me, distraught that I had missed breakfast and was there anything she could do for me.SandyRentool said:We discovered last week that the difference between Silver and Gold status on Etihad is that if you are Gold the flight attendant squats down for you, while with Silver she only bends over.
Fact.
There was, I said, and thus began the Dom Perignon phase of the flight.
I was in my seat on Air France HK => Paris and for the only time ever, the most beautiful girl came and sat down next to me.
I don't know what I thought but they were all good thoughts.
Just as the plane began to taxi away from the stand, she turned to me and said: I want to get off this flight, I am terrified, I need to get off.
We called the air stewardesses and they didn't have whatever tranquilisers they usually have for this kind of (quite common, apparently) thing. So I chatted to her intensely, discussing this and that, and, talking through her fears and why and how. And when the flight was in the air we called the stewardess over and said: champagne. And we drank it all night and drank so much they eventually ran out.
And when we landed she was super-grateful and I gave her my number thinking this is it, this never happens to me meeting such a beautiful girl, lucky me, and I never heard from her again.0 -

It will need a complete clearout from the top down and some serious customer service focussed people brought in. It's a big ship to turn around, these things take years to learn to do properly at such a large company. In the meantime they're screwed, comedians are taking aim and boycotts being organised. This one's not going to go away any time soon.

She does look older than 59, but that's not necessarily an indication of how energetic she may or may not be going forward. Brexit is what she will rise and fall on.Metatron said:I`ll be amazed if May is still PM in 2020.She looks really old for 59 her only idea since becoming PM was more Grammar Schools which does not resonate with many people,she bottled Hinckley Point,the budget was incompetent and devoid of ideas and all the problems of Brexit are likely to have emerged prior to 2020 as it is likely to be a new Labour leader
The main reason why May might stay PM is for the same reason she got elected the lack of an alternative leader but Tories have 3 years to find somebody with charisma and fresh ideas0
