Not often you feel the urge to big up Big Pharma.

she'll be selling BRAINFORCE on that infowars shitshow by the end of the week aicmfp.

That will drive black cabbies insane with fury.

"newspaper"

I seldom read the ES as I seldom commute, but last Thursday I collected a copy in central Ealing as I was early on the way to West's Beers. This explains the article written by Uber's UK MD in amongst the supposed editorials.

So is Babchenko Lynchman?

Few people in public life are lower than Osborne.

Bloody hell. News article:

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/dartford-bus-crash-fourteen-people-injured-in-25-car-pileup-in-kent-a3850576.html

14 injuries. At first I thought this was NW London because of the Instagram account's name.

Police in the state of Victoria, Oz, guilty of falsifying quarter of a million plus breathalyser tests over the last five years...

WTF?!?

The article seemed a bit light on facts. The description of the actual 2020 project didn't really tally with the more sensational claims in the article and the half screenshot re: "money can't buy" also didn't match to the implication in the article.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Standard was doing something like this but that article didn't convince me they were.

That will drive black cabbies insane with fury.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Maybe, but helping them to get off without charge by interfering with their trials may not be the most sensible way to go about it.

Garda in Ireland got caught doing something similar, more tests got you more chance of promotion even if it was loads of negatives

I apologise absolutely for the way cycle lanes were delivered in the last mayor’s administration. ‘I think it was ill-judged, it was too fast and ill thought through in the speed in which it was done, which I’m afraid is the main downside of living in a democracy – people want to do things in their term.

Errrm, as much as Johnson isn't to my taste, fuck off.

If you read the article, it seems to be a lot more nuanced?

Strange remark to make still.

Hmmm I can’t see the nuance. He said what he said.

Johson hired him. And nothing has happened under Kahn.
