After everything that’s happened the last few years I didn’t think I could be surprised by any headlines any more… but “bird sniffing is not a crime” are a set of words I never expected to see out together in a sentence.

What an absolute crap-fest of a PM and a political party as a whole.

I’m excited to have Russel T Davies back as show runner. Feels good to be actually looking forward to new Doctor Who episodes again!

You can pick a message and sign one of the postcards here: https://findothers.com/tools/postcards-for-refugee-children

 

Thousands of asylum seeker children will be sent postcards with bright and cheerful cartoons on them after ministers recently ordered murals at two reception centres to be painted over last month.

It’s just so comically evil that a political party would be against Human Rights… at least it would be comical if there wasn’t a real chance that the tories could actually scrap it and that there are voters who have been tricked into agreeing with them.

The chance is very low, the Good Friday Agreement depends on the ECHR but after Brexit we know what level of destruction the Tories are willing to do to this country in order to cling on to power

with intent to destroy the life of a child capable of being born alive

These are extremely late self administered abortions. Absolutely tragic for all involved and the current laws may not be appropriate but although most people agree that a collection of cells or tiny foetus is not a person yet… when someone is at a point in the pregnancy where the baby can be born and survive then I don’t think it’s as simple.

Note: I’m assuming that’s what the line meant about being capable of being born alive (as the other recent case I was aware of was a really really late abortion and I think this is a similar case based on the posted link)

I can never resist popping into a charity shop in the hunt for Blu-rays if I happen to be near one.

I don’t really have many yet but after being burnt one too many times by crappy streaming services or digital purchases that you don’t really own I’m just keeping an eye for deals on physical media instead.

I do inevitably digitise them for easy playback but I’ve always got the proper disc if I want to watch it (and to know that I actually own it)

Plus Music Magpie with their 4 for £5 Blu-ray deals

Again? When did that ever change?

It’s not theft unless the owner specified in the conditions of the rental that car’s couldn’t be charged at the property. (Even then “Theft” is a strong word!)

That being said - there is obviously a big difference in charging your phone and charging a car and really we are at a point where this should be clear in all holiday rental agreements one way or another.

I don’t think the owner would be happy if someone just turned on all the taps in the house and left them running for the entirety of their stay. There is a sort of “fair use” which is assumed (if not actually in writing)

Question comes if car charging should always be assumed “fair use” or is that above and beyond? Or is it a gray area that just “depends”.. Much better for everyone if all this is made as clear as possible in the agreement right at the beginning.

Good. What an absolutely ridiculous rule in the first place

Thank you for pointing this out, I totally agree.

Being able to afford food, water, shelter is not a bloody “benefit”. This is the absolute minimum we all need to survive.
