"Children could now be coached online to accuse parents" They could be coached about anything else as well (like sexual abuse) so I guess we should just ignore the kids?

Also we get to see if that regulator will actually act and punish, unlike so many.

Was Lebvedev's PR Person who then made him editor of Independent so was seen by people to have a Russian blindspot. Has milked "why I'm leaving the BBC" story the last couple of months after leaving Today show (but still is on BBC). And his website is cringe... amolrajanconnection.com

Yeah something got me start of last week but the only test I had left was 9 months out of date and was negative. Not much congestion but fatigue so was covid or flu. Not fully recovered yet 😕

Living in 1 of 4 blocks of ~40 flats each (with joint basement car park) which is just almost 15 yrs old. Has taken ages to get to the point where we can get rid of the management company. Too much work required to maintain so we are looking at another company but at least we can now decide who!

Well I think the "Don't know"s of 1.1 is also telling of a politically homeless group. I'm guessing a large sub group in there are people who probably put off by the anti migrant and anti trans rhetoric/policies of Labour but don't trust green. Will have to see if any data on that

Just led me down a rabbit-hole about the Pennines and that they were basically made up in the 18th century by someone who wanted them to be the same name as in Italy, so forged an account of a Roman describing them as such 🤣 wikishire.co.uk/wiki/Pennines

In some ways the team is doing their part not seemingly turning up half the time. But seriously how can a club divorce themselves from a terrible owner?

Every time someone pushes the idea of a London Grand Prix you know that's where it would be, though advertised with plenty of Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace

Yes, I noticed it when I went to where I grew up recently and the school playing fields used to be open and lots of would meet up to play football, cricket or other things. That is now all closed off which is probably better for the grass, but a big area to hang around has dissappeared.

A couple of nights ago I saw a wasp go into my bedroom and disappeared, took quite a while to get to sleep waiting for it to strike... Good luck with yours. Though if you need to catch a spider you can introduce a whole load of animals one at a time increasing in size to solve your problem?

Hadn't seen License to Kill since just after it came out and remembered it being quite dark (especially the ending of the bad guy into the crusher) so rewatched it and obviously I'd forgotten the opening wedding day scene which was probably the daftest they've done.

Yes, and one of my kids likes to play the more recent version by Nathan Evans which is both a relief given how often he plays it, but also a shame for my teenage nostalgia
