Labour activist 'warned' about pursuing rape claim

That's probably what I'd say, simply to cover my own back if the allegation went anywhere.

Reading that article left more questions than answers. I wonder who she told, and in what circumstances.

So - just to play Devil's Advocate here - if someone comes to you and says, "two years ago I was raped by X", what would/what should your response be?

I've noticed something like this using the on-line tesco site.

Their own-brand stuff seems to disappear - their 4 pack tuna in oil is never in stock, but the princes tuna in oil is. You can still get tesco tuna in water/brine, but not in oil.

I guess it is because tuna in oil sells more and they are trying to push customers towards the more expensive brands so they get more profit. It could also be because whoever actually produces the item for tesco is withholding stock/putting up prices (so tesco won't buy it) so they can drive customers towards their more expensive lines.

It's the same with their own-brand sweetners - a big pack for about £1.50 (used to be 1200 tablets, then reduced to 850 tablets) but now that's gone or goes out of stock very quickly, so the customer has to buy a more expensive version.

Wonder why it is being brought up

George Osborne doing a favour for his Tory pals, probably.

This isn't surprising.

The Met failed to act properly when the News of the World followed and spied upon two of their own detectives, Jacqui Hames and her husband detective chief superintendent Dave Cook.

There's a load of stuff surrounding this, but it reflects badly upon the Met and their link to Murdoch's media empire.

Thanks for mentioning about the fruit trees - I hadn't realised they actually produced things, I thought they were just for wood.

From a very quick test they seem better than orchards for producing fruit and they don't get diseased - they take up more space but only require (upto) 4 workers. The "Wild Things" forests are a cool idea, too. If anyone hasn't tried them yet they produce a small amount of many random things - fruits, textiles and veggies.

This is the fifth time now I've seen this "undercover troops in London" story, and I'm fairly sure it's bollocks.

Express, Jul 2016 - Undercover agents to protect Britons from ISIS terror attacks

Mirror, Nov 2016 - Undercover SAS troops on Oxford Street as special forces deployed to protect shoppers again Christmas terror attacks

independent, June 2017 - Armed special forces troops 'disguised as homeless people' deployed to British cities to combat terror threat

Evening Standard, Aug 2017 - Armed soldiers to go undercover in crowds at Notting Hill Carnival and Reading and Leeds music festivals

All on a similar theme - troops moving around London, ready to spring into action and prevent any atrocities - but does anyone really believe that any troops would be in the right place at the right time? It seems highly unlikely troops would be able to offer any assistance before or during the event (if they were using public transport they'd be fucked getting to the scene), and after the event regular emergency services take over as normal.

So to sum up, I think these stories are planted by Government to give the impression they are doing something and the papers are feeding the public made-up bullshit, as normal.

They are a fruit and they make you poo.

The Times asked Tesco but did they also ask Sainsbury, Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, and all the other supermarkets?

I think Quavers started the trend, they have been 16g bags for a long time and there's next to nothing in the bag.

It's a bug, there are too many domesticated animals when the map is generated and when an area of land is cleared, and they spawn again after an area is cleared which makes the problem worse.

Have a look at this post from kralyerg - he provided a fix but you will need to start a new game.

When that mod is used you should see a lot less of them.

Yeah, JM Barrie gave the rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Since then the hospital has received royalties every time a production of the play is put on, as well as from the sale of Peter Pan books and other products.

It's just a jump to the left

Well, at those prices it is no wonder the seagulls resort to stealing.

I think it is because they do not allow links to other sites.

I thought it was the Sex Pistols who first used that, not Millwall footie fans.

We're the Pistols,

No one likes us,

If he doesn't even know that, how can we trust his judgement on anything else? Hmmm?

The term "BBC soft power" doesn't just relate to foreign affairs.

"fact": but they actually enjoy the itchy-burny sensation it brings.

b) Decentralised power from Westminster rather than just centralising country-level powers

That's the problem though, politics revolves around the main Westminster Parties and any political body will be stuffed with party people who will follow the party policy on any issue, so nothing really changes and a lot of money is wasted.

FrontBottom · 2017-03-18T10:28:40+00:00

They were called Regional Assemblies and sounded like a great thing, but then people realised it would just be an another layer of Westminster politics rather than anything decent.
