"it is absolutely terrible" one of them barked

A thousand animal abusers lost their cars. Good. If some of the fuckers had left their dogs in the car for the night, they should be prosecuted.

I guess the local police would be accused of being rather insensitive to prosecute . They have a major problem with drug dealing motorcyclist shooting each other over 5 quids worth of skunk to deal with first . Totally agree though . Those cars with the dogs inside where on the top floor. So had it been cold they would of frozen to death first .

Fire started well before tea time, not likely the dogs would be left in there for the night.

Yup, given that none of us know the circumstances and that it is quite debatable whether leaving your dog in the car in winter for a short period is abuse, I think we should perhaps reserve our outrage for something else.

Yup. These assholes make the horse show look pretty tame

the U.S. government — meaning, at the moment, the Trump administration
— has the unilateral and unchecked power to force the removal of
anyone it wants from Facebook and Instagram by simply including them
on a sanctions list.

That was quite hot then

Not enough to melt the steel in the cars though.

Jet fuel.

What happens to the undamaged ones stuck in the outside section? Written off as unrecoverable or big crane time?

Put shipping container on roof drive in lift off repeat . Or lots of helium balloons .

Owners are mega pissed they can't get a new car for free lol

And do they all claim off the owner of the first car to catch fire?

if thats the case then that car owners premiums are going to spike a bit...

If the structure is condemned they won't risk putting the crane that close, let alone drive the cars.

Plus the cars will be a)baked and b) stink

I read somewhere that one poor chap lost his £50K car which appears to have been loaded with the world's supply of Apple and Beats products and hoards of cash, apparently.

...hard-drives stuffed with bitcoins...

Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be doing his best to be Israel's answer to Trump, in the Middle East's Beacon of Democracy™.

He's done the family corruption bit, and the playing up to right-wing nationalists bit, now it's on to the aggressive and racist immigration and deportation strategies:

The trouble is, while Trump is in power there's no one who they will listen to that can call them out on it.

And Iran seems to be joining in, by blaming Hillary Clinton for crime and disorder:

The general blamed anti-revolutionary agents, pro-monarchists and forces which he said had been "announced by [US-ex Secretary of State Hillary] Clinton to create riot, anarchy, insecurity and intrigue in Iran".

For anyone who has followed the Toby Young discussions

Why did they hire Phil Mitchell for that job anyway?

Because Plymouth Panto ends soon and he’ll be out of work.
