- Comment on Donald Trump says Andy Burnham told him he will ‘open up North Sea oil’ 2 hours ago:
Not really though:
Labour will not revoke existing licences and we will partner with business and workers to manage our existing fields for the entirety of their lifespan.
We will not issue new licences to explore new fields because they will not take a penny off bills, cannot make us energy secure, and will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis.
Rosebank and Jackdaw had been approved in 2022 and 2023 respectively, so are grandfathered in to the existing licences, despite a court challenge in the intervening years.
- Comment on Burnham to unveil £8.4bn nuclear submarine investment in major boost for UK defence 2 hours ago:
This is the Navy, not the army, and it’s in a very sorry state. At least half the fleet is laid up for maintenance, and what’s left isn’t exactly brilliant. The 2010 strategic review gutted military capability and now, as things are hotting up, there are Russian ships conducting live fire exercises in the channel.
- Comment on Burnham to unveil £8.4bn nuclear submarine investment in major boost for UK defence 3 hours ago:
In a long term scheme such as this, inflation and interest rates can wildly inflate the budget in unpredictable ways.

- Comment on When Stephen Colbert had The Colbert Report did the right ever realize he was doing a parody of them? 1 day ago:
Colbert was 2006. What’s that about saying stupid stuff?
Your contention is that the White House press were unaware that Colbert was a comedian, and accidentally hired him to host the dinner, a role that is traditionally given to a comedian?

Cambridgeshire Constabulary certainly didn’t.
- Comment on Royal Mail postmen defend delivery worker who kicked blind dog to death ‘like a football’ in vile attack 1 day ago:
Gbeebies is a venue for hedge fund manager to rant about things he can’t push with his more “respectable” outlet UnHerd. Newsworthiness is the last thing they are interested in.

- Comment on Why does Australia tend to ban or censor video games? 3 days ago:
Australia has always been more conservative than Britain on that stuff. There are some 60s episodes of Doctor Who that only exist as clips made up of whatever the Australian censor cut out and somehow kept in the archive.

Most on the Epstein list had no relationship with him. Literally just a list of anyone who turned up in the FBI’s paperwork on the case, including people he mentioned in emails, or people who emailed him may have mentioned, or someone he saw on TV, or whatever. Jon Stewart is on the Epstein list.

- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 4 days ago:
News costs money to produce. The recall information is freely available on the official site. This looks like someone really wanting to latch onto something to get worked up about.

This is wildly overstated. In the period Jan-Mar, 86% of station stops were made within 3min of the timetable, with a cancellation rate of only 3.2% of services.
However, extensive hot weather is playing havoc with everything, rail no exception. Heat affecting equipment, medical emergencies, buckling track, even the ground drying out so much the trackbed is becoming unstable in some places.

- Comment on From Buckingham Palace: 1 week ago:
That is for footage of parliamentary sessions. Permits are also required for filming on the property. But anyone can stand on the public street and film the building, for any purpose.
- Comment on From Buckingham Palace: 1 week ago:
The King asks the person who has the confidence of a majority of the Commons to form a government.
Years ago I did some work in London for Chinese TV. We were banned from showing the Houses of Parliament because the whole concept of a democratic legislature was “politically sensitive”.
So take your tankie bullshit somewhere else please.

- Comment on Why do Britain get to send three teams to the World Cup? 1 week ago:
The UK has representation by 4 teams - England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
FIFA recognises that football originated in the UK and that “international” competition began with matches between the home nations. This unique status is enshrined in FIFA statute, giving the home nations separate status from other countries and territories.

The Muppets were created by Jim Henson in yhe 1950s, and made various appearances in commercials for the next 15 years.
Independently, Jim Henson was hired as a contractor to build puppets for Sesame Street. During the 70s the Muppets began to make appearances on the show.
Then in the mid-70s Henson made his own show, for British television, featuring a large cast of Muppets. This rocketed them to fame and spawned a series of feature films and spinoff shows that continues today.

So he’s 5 years younger than Moore when he retired from the role. The Same age as Connery when he came back for Never Say Never Again. 4 years older than Brosnan when he was seriously injured during his final film.
