No mention of Weinstein?

In other words: This is how a backwards state abuses its peaceful citizens.

Shame the message won’t be taken that way.

Land of the free and home of the brave.

Those were state troopers so seems a bit of overkill as the campus have their own security.

No mention of the anti immigration marches in Eire https://news.sky.com/story/ireland-fires-pepper-spray-and-clashes-with-police-as-anti-migration-protests-erupt-in-county-wicklow-13123193

Is that classed as irony?

Last year 38 people died needlessly every day because they had to wait for up to 12 hours in A&E. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/01/england-ae-wait-times-led-to-needless-deaths-of-up-to-14000-data-suggests

Wtaf is happening with Boeing. I’m aware of the whole whistleblower and QC debacle, but is this number of incidents normal for a manufacturer in any give year or is it just in the spotlight because of the bigger earlier incidents?

When will you understand that this is what the voters want. They have been given the option, remember the spend the money on the NHS.

We don't. We want privatised health care. See water, gas and electric privatisation.

On another forum hot topic,

Not sure targeting someone parked in a disabled bay is the smartest move.

The sentiment is right, but the tactics are idiotic.

Worship of the car is so ingrained it even consumes a lot of this forum though, so it is a doomed exercise on the road to planetary destruction.

One resident said she had been trying to get to her mother in
end-of-life care when she discovered all four tyres had been deflated.

Maybe all the traffic pollution did her in.

One resident said he was forced to execute blind kittens because he
couldn't get them to the vets.

Maybe they could fix the felled ULEZ cameras…

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns.

The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not
the police.

As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks
have taken for a number of different events.

Does anyone know if there is a specific criteria?

Definitely seems like an election could be on, with the whole thing framed around small boats by Tories.

There position will be that they have passed the legislation and are now implementing it. Vote for them if you back the policy, and for Labour if you don't.

That way they don't let people see the complete failure of the policy before it's implementation.

Quality.

"It's for your own good!" the students should yell.

"Stop resisting!"

Listened to a good podcast about it on Tortoise media, last week I think. But to massively over simplify, they merged with McDonnell Douglas in the late 90, who had a very different company culture. The culture was all about cutting costs and making senior people rich quick. Cue shortcuts and revamping existing aeroplanes into new models rather than building new ones. This caused big issues. And then the aviation authorities in the US somehow allowed them to start certifying their own planes. The whole story is mad and well worth a listen.

John Oliver had a bit on it a few weeks back.

When that merger happened they at least had an engineer as ceo, then he was succeeded by another engineer, all fine, then the finance bros took over, the 737 max was developed under the first finance ceo and it's been downhill since. I've been following stories from insiders for a while, as soon as that first 737 max issue there's been warning of more to come.
