I seem to recall that, when the BBC broke this story, there were a lot of calls within the LGBT community for Pink News to be boycotted. It now appears that the entire story was a fabrication. The reputation of the BBC is at an all-time low. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/o...

Kind of misleading, unfortunately. My partner is disabled and a wheelchair user. Try being someone like that and dealing with trains and tube stations. People like her need cars...

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.

As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.

No major new reservoirs have been built in England since water privatisation in 1989 (Carsington was finished in 1992 but was started before privatisation). In the 35 years before privatisation, 100 reservoirs were built inc. 30 exceptionally large drinking water reservoirs. bsky.app/profile/eciu...
