It might be utterly bleeding ridiculous if it were true, which it ain't. Sure there's ongoing activity to clarify food labeling to promote consumer choice & food safety, but I doubt that anyone was ever misled by a veggie burger. Your story line is an echo of Brexity bureaucrat bashing.

I know this is a ridiculous though, but, well, could it be? No, surely not. Nonsense. Best keep it to myself. What the heck, I'll say it anyway. Could it be weather-related?

... but they will win the next election because Labour is so bad. Don't you read newspapers?

Hey jimmy, yer bum's oot the windae!

Yea, but look on the bright side. Cack-handed copy/paste stands out a mile in MSc & BEng theses & project reports, saving a ton of assessment effort. Students lose out on two fronts: professional incompetence & plagiarism.

Those 7 MPs were suspended for indiscipline. No party can govern without party discipline, Irrespective of the issue.

Balderdash. Starmer is careful to avoid becoming a scapegoat for Brexit failure.

Yea, but when are we going to get the ballroom set? Oh, & they'll have to extend the age range because, even if you start at age 5, you'll be a good deal older than 12 by the time you finish.

For me (Physics Professor), a follow-up question would be a novelty. I'm sometimes tempted to say "plumber", to keep the conversation going.

State or privately owned? The question is irrelevant. What is relevant is proactive regulation with teeth.

Hey, could it be something so stupid as trying to reach a workable compromise? Like, doing democracy? Like, listening to advice? Like, wise, not weak.

I could live the life of Riley with free rent & housekeeping.

You can't be sure of that without convincing evidence in support of other candidates.

Beware of 'isms - they are rigid recipes advocated by zealots with vested interests. Socialism, communism, capitalism, satanism, catholicism, judaism, zionism, imperialism, racism, trumpism, fascism, etc, etc. Solutions to problems require many things, but above all enlightenment & good will.

No, they were looking for his brain, not at his brain.

It's positively exhilarating to see a new car that is not grey!

Yes I can understand your point. OK, my cheap android phone works just as well, but my wallet is so thick & heavy with the cash I saved.

The Trump administration is not incompetent. The theatre of the absurd & the clowns in front-line positions (including Trump) are there to distract from a steely determination to undermine democracy & the constitution. Billionaires detest lesser beings having democratic power & want control.

"The gift of faith" is the ability to believe stuff without proof. MAGA & RFK Jr, for example have his gift aplenty. Yea, that's an amazing gift!

My heart bleeds for the almost rich, struggling to become stinking rich while having to work harder & harder to dodge taxes.

Not Brexit. The Brexit deal. We was robbed! Those Brussels bureaucrats were too blinkered to understand, let alone bow to, this island people's exceptional place in the history & culture of their miserable continent.

He's an amazing bloke - deserves every penny of his housing benefit. It would be more than disrespectful, given his valiant 4-month service in the Royal Marines, to label this a taxpayer-funded handout for skivers.

Whipping out his dick in public? Surely that's impossible given the modest size of his willy (judging by his tiny hands) & the knee-knocker sized overhang of his gut.

Bubble bubble debt is trouble!

It is NOT the aim of the Reith Lectures to air defensible claims, but "to advance public understanding and debate about issues of contemporary interest". The statement “the most openly corrupt president in American history” was removed because opinion without proof is incompatible with this aim.

... & Brexit will revive when the hard-of-thinking (right policy, wrong implementation) get back into power. No, Rejoin won't stick unless you have an overwhelming mandate from a Rejoin referendum. In the meantime, Labour's "make Brexit work" is the best we can do. Frustrating but realistic.

Apparently it was a premature website update. If so, it should not be rocket science to find the person responsible.

Been there, done that, did not work.

It is NOT the aim of the Reith Lectures to air defensible claims, but "to advance public understanding and debate about issues of contemporary interest". The statement “the most openly corrupt president in American history” was removed because opinion without proof is incompatible with this aim.

... & evermore shall be so. In my youth it was the annual merry-go-round of strikes, the 3-day week & the rivers of blood.

I didn't, I don't & I won't. I'm staying clear of all illegal drugs because I I don't like downward spirals. Not in mental health, not in dependency, not in criminality, not in reliance on criminals. My experience with tobacco addiction taught me it's easy to start & almost impossible to stop.

For once I disagree with you. The aim of the annual Reith Lectures is to advance public understanding and debate about issues of contemporary interest". The statement “the most openly corrupt president in American history” was removed because opinion without proof is incompatible with this aim.

You mean like wot that Truss woman done? Thanks but no thanks. Proceed with caution makes more sense to me. After 14 years of Tory twattery, every day in every way, Labour's UK is getting better & better.

Why? When you get there, it's still you & all your baggage in the car, so what's changed?

A lot of administration? Why? Why can't these organisations update their records automatically & ask the affected residents to confirm the change? Or has digital technology not made it to Scotland yet?

Yep, that happened to me. My car "knows" that the engine is off, that nobody is in it & that the doors are locked, so why does it keep the reading light on until the battery is flat? Stupid, stupid, stupid! I now carry a jump-starter for such emergencies.

I hope they don't switch the heating off to save money!

No, that's a Mk1 Escort. Melania is Mk3, fake with lots of bling, mods & add-ons

So you're not counting humans in the category of wild animals. Why?

... or his private health provider? In my very limited experience of private health, during the pandemic when the NHS was overwhelmed, they never miss an opportunity to make more money by referring you to another specialist, another test and/or another treatment. Never again private!

Obviously. Even the most superficial scrutiny would reduce its credibility to zero or less.

No, it was a cock-up. According to tradition, Russians must send their Xmas wish letters to Santa on the 4th December. Not only was this 28-point begging letter sent early, but it was sent to the White House, not to Santa's correct address: "House of Santa Claus, Vologda Region, 162390 Russia".

There appears to be some confusion here. This 28-point plan should have been sent to the "House of Santa Claus, Vologda Region, 162390 Russia,", not the White House.

Hot off the press 11 announcements that will positively touch the lives of ordinary people throughout the UK. All made in the last 5 days. Labour remain focused on driving down the cost of living and securing investment and jobs across the UK. 👏👏👏

It's socialism for clapped-out politicians.

Colonizing another planet is the half-baked delusion of a self-proclaimed genius. Hell on earth is heavenly compared with a good day on Mars!

... & insurance? Insurance is socialism where members pay regular premiums into a shared fund that may only be accessed by members in need. The difference with pure socialism is profit, profit, profit.

It's about time that Russian interference in British politics was taken seriously. For goodness sake, we even have the Russian owner of the Independent and Evening Standard newspapers in the House of Lords, nominated by Boris Johnson without giving any formal rationale for his appointment.

Why tomorrow? Why wait?

It's not as simple as that. AI systems produce digital bile by converting high-grade energy in the form of electricity to low-grade energy in the form of heat, the thermodynamic consequence being a massive increase in the entropy of the universe.
