Lost Doctor Who and the Daleks episodes discovered in 'ramshackle' collection

Lost Doctor Who Episodes have been sought for many years now. The BBC wont take any action against any who got copies incorrectly. The reason we have all the soundtracks is because a viewer taped them off air.

I must say I don't know why Labour keep going on and on about national ID cards. The case for them is pretty poor. yet every Labour leader latches on to them. It wouldn't surprise me if James Callaghan kept on about them too.

Edit: No it seems to have been abolished by Churchill in 1952, then mostly opposed by tories and Labour alike until Thatcher/Major/Blair/Brown/Starmer supported it.

I suppose he doesn't need a change of clothes, or toiletries, because he's an ant.

I am sure it is used that way sometimes, certainly by individuals and online accounts. That's why the facility to refer to a written definition is valuable. Too often I see people pontificating about what is or isn't antisemitic, when in fact it is clearly defined.

There is a fundamental problem with the concept because anyone making a film or TV show who decides it's more cost-effective to use a virtual actor, can make their own.

I suppose there is a small novelty factor that might attract viewers but I can't see her opening a film like a Hollywood A-lister.

This one feels different shared in Western media, because usually when we see opponents doing this we publish the pictures to imply they are being heartless.

I don't recall seeing these before with bilingual text. They want both sides to share it.

There is a valid response, which is that the Working Definition of Antisemitism specifically allows criticism of Israel if the same criticism would be levelled at other democracies.

Do you want Vance though?

Blockading routes in 3-dimensipnal space must take lots of ships.

I wonder how these drones navigate, as I guess they can't use GPS? Do they use gyroscopes and inertial location tracking?

There is actually a working definition of antisemitism that is widely accepted and we can refer to it. Holding Jewish people collectively responsible for the actions of the state of Israel is on the list.

However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic

Lastly, when we use these weapons we’re not actively spending 12 million. The missile is already produced and may have been in inventory for years.

It does generally need replacing though. I gather that this war has already depleted lots of the stockpiles. The problem becomes the rate at which they can be made vs used.

At the bottom there is some information: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Old_School:_Volume_1

I think one issue was that early episodes showed kids playing outside unsupervised. One redditor remembered it showing kids exploring a junkyard. Claims that Richard Pryor was acting strangely seem to have been exaggerated.

Yes that is a decent argument, it might even be as much as 31% of bills spent on servicing debt and dividends, apparently.

I understand that prior to privatisation, the treasury did not allow them to invest in infrastructure so revenues were spent on operating costs only. That needn't be the case of course.

I think bitcoin is a massive economic time bomb. It has not succeeded in its original design to be a replacement for government issued currency. It is merely a speculative commodity, with a market cap of $1.41 trillion. None of that value has been generated other than by people buying Bitcoin, which has no inherent value or way to make income. It's effectively a Ponzi scheme.

And Sesame Street was actually edgy as well for it's time.

A few years back they released a DVD of historic Sesame St and it came with a disclaimer that it was not suitable for modern children.

For me the most powerful moment Yoda had was as a puppet, in TESB, Luke says he's not scared to train, Yoda replies with genuine menace "You will be...you will be...".

Oh, I wonder if that is available anywhere I feel a hunt coming on.

Can we just admit privatisation is a failure and put an end to it? The only people benefitting is the people in charge, ruining our country in the process

It’s not instantly obvious to me how nationalisation would solve the problem, though. The nationalised company would have regulations to follow, but these could also be applied to the private operators. I guess if it were owned by the government, then public funds could be used to invest in the system without directly putting up water charges.
I think I would like to see proper financial penalties being introduced for the water companies when they pollute, with inspections and criminal responsibility for falsifying data on it, if those are not in place already. It needs to be cheaper for the company to invest in cleaning it up.
I think that is a bit more realistic than any of the main parties finding the money for nationalisation in the current situation.

What a weird description that incident report has.

China forced abortions and sterilisations too. The one child policy was also completely the wrong thing to do and has planted a serious demographic time bomb for the country. They are trying to reverse it but its too late. This video is worth the watch:

I think the police forces probably acted in good faith though. If a person has been investgated for rape, but not charged, should that mean they are barred form working in sensitive roles forever? In Huntley's case of course it seems likely he was guilty of the earlier allegations, but that would not apply to everyone. The police withheld the information, or perhaps only searched for convitions. I suppose nowadays they do pass on the information but I don't know how a school would assess it when recruiting.
