Brixham was only affected for a few days. Kingswear, where I live, was affected for 7 weeks. The story locally is that a farmer damaged some part of the water pipe infrastructure near the reservoir tanks and animal faeces got into the system.

What is the matter with people's brains?! No wonder we are facing massive storms, droughts, rising sea levels, flooding, melting glaciers and polar ice. The human race will make itself extinct through sheer hubristic stupidity. A complete failure to address facts and reality. #ClimateCrisis

Appreciated but it all takes so long. The current government doesn't even want to talk about it. I'm in my 60s and am beginning to feel we won't be back in the EU in my lifetime. Brexit was probably the most damaging decision for any democratic nation other than Trump being elected in the US...

The UK suffers from a finance curse. Far from being our economic jewel, the City of London has drained trillions from the economy. That’s lost jobs, lost investment, and a weaker democracy. In this video, I explain why finance is making Britain poorer, and what must change. youtu.be/Ssa_4TqpxVg?...

In 2024-25 HMRC wrote-off £7.2bn of tax. Main reason is UK insolvency law. Since 2003, HMRC has been an unsecured creditor for taxes owed by companies such as corporation and capital gains tax. Billions lost. Public purse pays subsidies, employment & other benefits. Reinstate Crown preference.

I think it is happening in other ways. NATO countries are cancelling orders for US made arms. People are avoiding US products, investing in or travelling to the US. US credibility among other nations is evaporating. We no longer respect or trust the US. The economics follow on from this.

Sorry – the killing of Charlie Kirk was wrong, but having his body flown on Air Force 2, flags at half-mast, having him lie in state, putting a statute of him in the Capitol, and giving him a Presidential Medal of Freedom are all entirely inappropriate.

I agree. We need to read multiple sources to sift through the information, so we can create a fuller picture of who this person was, and how he came to state of mind where he could commit this act. This takes time and people really shouldn't rush to conclusions too quickly.

I'd like to see some pics of these engraved bullet casings because it seems like it's quite a difficult thing to do. Some of the text seems to be very lengthy (“Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao ciao”) and would have to be in tiny writing to fit on a bullet casing and take some skill!

Exactly, and they keep stating that the gun was a Mauser .30-06 bolt action hunting rifle, which is not a folding weapon. It's over 1 metre long without a suppressor, and weighs about 3.5kg with a scope. It's a big old thing and not easy to carry around without it being obvious what it is...

There are so many evidential anomalies now. They say he changed clothes on the roof but images clearly show him ascending the stairs in the same clothes as him escaping - and no sign of a Mauser .30-06 bolt action in any of the images. How did it get to the wooded area? This looks inconclusive...
