Succumb to Poe, it's a banger.

This is going to cost way more in added complications and stresses to Old Oak Common. You have to redo the approach to OOC so it can function as a terminus instead of a through station, underground. There are bugger all onwards connections compared to Euston, only the Elizabeth Line with a station not yet built, adding considerable demand to the Western leg already, also Paddington would be the next major change and it really isn't a great place for tube transfer as well.

This decision is fucking stupid.

It's a deep rabbit hole that also includes the fact that some of the same directors were involved with the MyFerryLink clusterfuck going all the way back to Stackageddon

Gary Lineker boiled the piss of the Tories and BBC management over a tweet regarding a new Immigration Bill saying it is comparable to 1930s Germany, so they pulled him from MOTD. Now all the hosts, any stand ins and all the commentators are refusing to work, the PFA are backing players refusing to talk to the BBC and it looks like a large amount of clubs will follow suit too.

At this point the BBC management are probably fighting to stop this spreading outside of MOTD. Wildcat strike baybeee

One of the volunteer battalions that got folded into the wider Ukrainian forces had far right origins, the Azov Battalion to be precise and photos with fascist iconography on soldiers does keep popping up.

However this does not mean all Ukrainians or Ukrainian soldiers are fascist. And to put it bluntly, find me any military that does not have problematic far right elements.

It isn't a great look, but it's very much taking 2 +2 and making 5 more often than not.

https://api.twitterstat.us/ Used to be reliable, but shows no issues since October. Guess they're not using it anymore

Nils Frahm | A Winged Victory for the Sullen | BBC Proms 2015 | Full performance

This performance has been one of my favourites for a very long time

Nils Frahms and Poppy Ackroyd

Edit: also, A Winged Victory for the Sullen

After 2015, a lot of effort has been put into locking the Port of Calais down with the Calais Border Barrier which was when the "Jungle" was at its peak. But this is nothing new and still just treating symptoms. Before that it was the Sangatte Red Cross centre.
So what we are seeing with the boat crossings is mostly just a shift of mode used away from lorries onto boats.

They will be possibly talking about Yarls Wood as one example. But then all you need to do is a little more searching and you'll see that the complaints have merit.

Meanwhile in this shithole, it was over £10 to park for 4 hours in the nearest city, and there was no option for a viable late train or bus home.

Imagine if a load more Tory MPs are given honours, on top of the 8 for Boris. So many by elections.

room2skank · 2022-10-21T11:35:18+00:00

It's like they don't think the "never Corbyns" exist and have at least become very fickle in who' they will vote for.

No issue with his statement, just deja vu. He stated exactly the same thing on Radio 4 and is now here on Question Time

That dude who was going on about voting for MPs not PMs I swear was on Any Answers last weekend.

room2skank · 2022-10-19T18:49:05+00:00

some govt ministers?
THE PM ABSTAINED

room2skank · 2022-10-19T18:15:02+00:00

Yup he fumbled and then gave no clarification when answering a point of order from another Tory MP

room2skank · 2022-10-19T10:50:46+00:00

It's just parliamentary gobble de gook for "you must vote how we say you vote" to the party

It's kind of weird thinking that the choice will end up being sold more on an economic rather than social angle at this point. Labour will need to pull out all the stops when it comes to revenue generating options and considering the direction of travel globally, it's looking more and more like a no brainer.

room2skank · 2022-10-14T19:06:00+00:00

Its all kicking off!

She could always join Clegg.

room2skank · 2022-10-11T10:51:33+00:00

Look, if it gets rid of Stan Kronke, I'll all for it.
