This is a viewscreen image from the Enterprise-D during a Season 1 episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, when the crew have a stand off with a new alien race that the writers thought would work on screen, but were never heard of again in the 7-season and 4-feature film run of the series.

Given the current state of world affairs and resulting price of fuel, it's rich of the US Government to give that much of a shit about the theft of a bit of red diesel in Gloucestershire.

Fun fact: They have both technically played incarnations of Doctor Who. McGann, definitely. Grant was an animated one.

Getting more than a little sick and tired hearing an endless succession of politicians promising 'hope'. No, I've had hope in the past. I would rather like to see some results now. 'Hope' is just not tangible enough.

Major disruption to last all day at London Victoria after fire near tracks
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page Commuters travelling through London Victoria are urged to use other stations after fire damage near the tracks. Rush hour journeys have been hampered this morning after a trackside fire near Clapham Junction struck yesterday. Vital signalling equipment was damaged after being engulfed by flames. The worst affected services include Southern and Gatwick Express trains to and from Victoria, including to Gatwick Airport. Trains that can run are expected to be extremely busy, and trains between Clapham Junction and London Victoria Hill face delays of up to 60 minutes. National Rail said: ‘If you are planning to travel to or from London Victoria this morning, you are strongly advised to use an alternative London terminal instead. > ❗ To help you complete your journey this morning you can use your ticket at no extra cost on the following services: > > 🎫 Alternative Southern services on any reasonable route towards your destination. > > 🎫 London Underground services on any reasonable route. > > 🎫 TfL buses between… > > — Southern (@SouthernRailUK) September 28, 2026 ‘An extremely reduced train service is running to and from London Victoria until at least 12:00, as emergency engineering repairs have been taking place overnight and throughout this morning. We strongly advise that you delay travelling until later today or use an alternative route. Where possible, please travel into alternative London terminals and use the London Underground to complete your journey. ‘A limited half-hourly service will operate between London Victoria and East Croydon. These trains are expected to be extremely busy and should only be used if you cannot delay your journey or are unable to travel via an alternative terminal.’ Major disruption is expected to last at least until 2pm, National Rail said. ## Which trains will be disrupted? The good news is that London Overground and South Western Railway services can run as normal. However, several routes will be ‘heavily disrupted’ throughout the day. This includes trains: * Between London Victoria and Ore * Between London Victoria and Littlehampton * Between London Victoria and Epsom Downs * Between London Victoria and London Bridge * Between London Victoria and Dorking * Between London Victoria and Brighton * Between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction * Between London Victoria and East Grinstead * Gatwick Express between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport **Got a story?

This is one of those stories that gets sadder and more baffling the longer it goes on. Elder abuse (by a spouse, no less) really doesn’t get the attention it should do. The Telegraph are reporting that even the King has been blocked from getting in touch with him.
