In the news

Bit of a weird article;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-45028663

I read that article earlier and really had to think hard to figure out what happened it was so poorly written. It has since been updated to be a little more clear, but the standard is still pretty poor!

Yeah reads better now. Pretty terrible all round. I don’t understand why they interview neighbors etc adds nothing to these stories.

I don’t understand why they interview neighbors

Maybe they couldn't find any twitter comments to include...

this is why i can't watch the new on the telly anymore

More of this from Momentum please!

No thanks.

Why are you so proud of behaving like an idiot?
You won, get over it.

He doesn't know what he's won yet though, does he? And his pension won't be allowing him those little sunny holidays anymore either so I guess it's all he can do to spend his time trying to upset people.

As a turn of phrase and in the context it's kinda odd. As a left wing labour supporter and Momentum activist, they would have known that Corbyn wasn't exactly in love with the EU, and his support would have been given grudgingly to what he saw as Cameron's problem.

Maybe they are trying to say that despite this, they were still surprised.

It's a weird article.

It seems Momentum is finally waking up to all the problems due to leave the EU, like all the ones they could have known about 2 years ago. But ok...better late than never?

But, members getting a democratic say in how party policy is formed is a good thing.

Meanwhile it is "komkommertijd"

Yep! See, Dutch is EASY!

As a woman tells her rape story, Whale sniggers quietly in the studio then Talk Radio took the footage off their website.

Nobody needs a nuclear power plant overheating.

What a horrific page of news...

Battered sausage?

A drunk continually whacked his penis against a car and then did a poo
on the floor - as the women inside the vehicle ate their chips.

John Henson had been on a marathon drinking session when he ruined the
women’s seaside trip to Redcar .

At midday too. Must have been in 'Spoons for brekkie.

"don't be evil" 🙄

Still on an old nexus5 but Apple and Google won't be getting my £ no more. Also need to change search engine and all that, it is hard to a avoid the big bad G.

Assume the shade towards Apple is the alleged use of badly paid / treated workers in China?

That and deliberately spiking old products with 'updates' that make them unusable...not so much designed obsolescence as sabotaging them to precipitate upgrades and get their profits up.
