Strange New Worlds season 2 episode 1 ; Nurse Chapel ninja warrior........

I seem to have missed thread #68482, were there any startling revelations ?

They did and they did. However, in a theoretical World, how would your 'logic' explain the thinking behind the lockdowns ?

Is the title spelt correctly ?

Exactly. The Committee was established at the request of the HoC, ( majority Conservative ), and was constituted with a majority of Conservative members. The Chair in these situations is always chosen from the official Opposition, and the members when sworn in commit to leaving party political bias at the door. How on Earth it can be determined to have been a "kangaroo court" is a mystery, and Rees-Mogg, who knows perfectly well how these things work, is just playing for the Tory media and feeding people's ignorance with bullshit.

Johnson was the Prime Minister who ordered the Committee to be set up and accepted Harriet Harman to be appointed as Chair.

Monday, debate the report followed by a free vote. The process has to run it's course because the report is a matter of Parliamentary record and precedent is set if it is accepted, by which future actions can be measured.

Go to Oxbridge, study PPE, out of Uni get a job in an MP's office. First 3 steps on the road...... What is amusing is newly elected local councillors that think they have any power whatsoever.

Standing room only.

With a majority from his own party.

That tie knot is far from being tight enough.

It is important to remember that this report is not about alleged breaking of COVID lockdown rules, but about repeated instances of contempt of Parliament, which the HoC sees as one of the most egregious crimes that can be committed.

Indeed. But this has been an issue for decades - if the Argies had waited a year to invade the Falkland Islands, we might not have been able to assemble a task force to retake them.

How much has the US got stockpiled around the World ?

Perhaps they are unwilling to commit after the sinking of the Moskva.

If you want to quote random, out of context, figures, how about comparing Bank base rates and inflation rates ? UK 4.5% and 8.1%, Germany 2.36% and 6.1%. Which figures affect people's day to day lives more ?

At least one of the Leo's has been recovered and is already back in service. The best place I know of for verifying equipment losses is https://www.oryxspioenkop.com which gives visually confirmed and geo-located losses from both sides. Currently Oryx has 2 Leopards destroyed and 2 abandoned, the first of those listed as abandoned is, I believe, the one that was recovered and repaired. There is a video, which the BBC published, showing Russian troops walking around a Leopard and a few Bradleys left behind by a failed Ukrainian reconnaissance. Some sources report that the Russians were promptly chased away and some of the equipment recovered.

I wasn't making a point about the Ukrainian attack, it is the BBC's self righteousness in implying they are working to verify Putin's claims, when anybody with half a brain cell knows that both sides undersell their own losses and overstate their opponent's - even WE did that during WW2. Edit: presumably the BBC verified their news feeds before 21st March this year but without publicising the process - why do they now feel the need to insert this statement into every item they now publish ?

I think, Ziggee, you have been taking too much Stardust.

Putin speaking bollocks yesterday about the Ukrainian offensive, the BBC says it has not yet been able to verify his statements. Good luck with that. Here's a clue; the man is a megalomaniac and compulsive liar.

From it's starting position in referring the the 2 "republics" it is hardly taking a neutral position. A 'neutral' position might perhaps call them 'disputed territory', but as only Russia has recognised their autonomy, referring to them as such is supporting the Russian narrative.

The chap coming in his wagon to collect the skip off next door's drive at 6 in the morning.

As pointed out in the comments; The dam could not become "Ukraine's Chernobyl"....... Chernobyl is Ukraine's Chernobyl.
