In the news

Unfortunately it turned out to be a false alarm. So they're still looking.

I think the calendars go on sale on Monday. I'm tempted to get one.

BBC reporting alive and well

Ah, good. The fella at work did say that a helicopter was on its way and they were expecting some news.

Richard Spencer and others lose Twitter verified status under new guidelines

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/15/twitter-verified-blue-checkmarks-richard-spencer

That seems like bollocks to me. I can't say I really use twitter but I'd assume that the tick is just there to show that someone is who they say they are, not that twitter does or doesn't agree with their views.

Quite, it's better that these cunts are verified, so you know they're being cunts and it's not just some troll shit stiring. If Twitter dont like it, ban them.

twitter are more interested in banning people who call nazis cunts rather than banning actual nazis calling for the genocide of non white people.

the problem isn't that there are verified nazis on twitter, the problem is there are nazis on twitter.

peak liberalism.

Don't Jews denounce Jesus and the Christian faith?
How can they possibly be offended on grounds of 'pork messiah' when Jesus is not the son of God and Christians have it wrong anyway :s

On the Twitter thing, the tick is just you are who you are not an endorsement by Twitter. Maybe a tick is the wrong symbol if it's portraying that kinda ambiguity.

Twitter, YouTube, Facebook etc are really doubling down on censorship. Couple that with Cameron's internet laws in the UK and it's unnerving to say the least.

Im not tlking about loser Twitter Nazi edge lords either.

Well, there's more Greggs news (albeit from yesterday)

Heads will (sausuage) roll?

Wow.

Seems like twitter facebook etc are following the path of Citizens Band radio.

More about the Farage settlement.

He has now attempted to engage in spin to his own supporters about the result, but the fact is that he lost. He is facing legal costs likely to be in excess of £100,000.

Don't Jews denounce Jesus and the Christian faith?

I think the jews just don't recognise him as god or the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy

One of many, there is a whole page of 'em https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_messiah_claimants

Since we aren't living in an era of global peace and harmony they must all be false.

This news story...
Number of untaxed vehicles in UK trebles after tax disc abolition
https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/nov/16/untaxed-vehicles-uk-trebles-tax-disc-abolition-vehicle-excise-duty-dvla
...provides some ammo in the old "you cyclists don't pay any road tax" argument, though there appears to be more tedious linking of vehicle excise duty and money spent on roads, which unless I am wrong is not currently the case, though it references future linking .

^ strange, the popo can scan number plates. The regularly do in Norn Ire, as there is so much VED evasion here (well was, i think they are really getting into it)

It's all speculative, but the budgets have been really cut :/

Must have never heard about the united church of bacon ;)

Can't wait to see what they do for Hamadan etc.

You can already claim rewards to grass in bad parking. Im sure you could grass on people you know arent insured.
Or pretty much any crime....

Should be legal for anyone to hammer frozen sausages into an untaxed or uninsured car

FTFY
