In the news

Who?

No idea. Is this the usual must be troll/alias forum etiquette?

I remember when lynx prowled here. Stuff of legend now too.

^^He got da big paws.

This will probably be a fairly minor news story given that it happened in a poor country and only a couple of hundred people were killed:

They don't even speak English, why would we care?

It is a tragedy, heard in on the radio the other day.

That's been headlines around here.
Is that really flying under the radar in the UK?

What about the cats that don't pay road tax

fify...

Students can, I know some can not but can never remember if its to do with commonwealth and eu citizens, its getting the students registered to vote in the university cities/towns.

Students are unique in that they can vote twice in local elections. In their home town and place of study. Also certain Commonwealth citizens and full EU citizens can vote in the UK.

I used to do the Electorial Roll deliveries...

It's been news on the two places I get my world events from... Radio 4 and the "in the news" thread on Lfgss :)

I Like Max Clifford's Scooby-Doo defence; if it hadn't been for Savile we would have got away with this.

yeah, right.
its like four lions on rerun on the news
without the humour

What are you right now?

Bangladesh is where my parents come from. Things like this are extremely common, the capsizing of river crossing ferries in particular. They have some insane practices there, like on coaches that are the main form of transport between cities. They have a reinforced steel gate which they lock once all the passengers are on. To make it difficult for hijackers. But road accidents are extremely common, vehicles fall into ditches or collide with others, everything travelling at maximum speed. There is this wreckless approach to everything done there, if you see the state of buildings which are heavily used for industry and living you would be gobsmacked. It is a surprise these types of things do not happen more often.

batavi 4 lief!

I'll assume you meant 'where'. Canada.
Maybe the CBC plays a numbers game when it comes to fatalities, not sure how they decide what's newsworthy. I get most of my news from radio, maybe 1/10 from the papers.

He also described the charges as 'nonsense', thus proving the claim that Chris Morris does in fact write the news.

Yup, silly typo. These things happen alarmingly often in that country;

Big factory fire late last year.

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia/2012/11/201211188959229987.html

Fire through slums around a similar time.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10232918

Massive fire in 2010 where electrical transformer blew up in an area where a wedding was going on. (Electrical wiring in this area is insane btw)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10232918

All except the second one (well, not sure about 2010) were top news stories out here.
I spent a year in Wichita in the 80s; nothing worth reporting on happened outside the county line for twelve months...

The EU are banning nicotinoids to save the bees.
Yay for bees!

One part good news. But there are trials of GM wheat and potatoes that have been going since 2011 and are still continuing.

GMO crops are believed to be a major cause of disease among bees.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/death-of-the-bees-genetically-modified-crops-and-the-decline-of-bee-colonies-in-north-america/25950

Conclusion:

  The proof is obvious that one of the major reasons of the bees’ decline is by the ingestion of GMO proteins. This is problematic, as there is such an increase of indigestible foods in humans and bees. The situation of colon cancer in humans is somewhat similar in occurrence.

The author appears to arrived at this "proof" by reading all kinds of newspaper articles (not exactly known for their accuracy or lack of bias), some conspiracy theory websites, and wikipedia.

One of the references is from some hysterical-sounding article on Alternet.org which looks bombastically hilarious in its own right: http://www.alternet.org/
