The contractors building the Singleton bypass on the A585. To avoid penalties for missing their deadline they have opened the new dual carriageway on one side, with two way contraflow traffic, and no traffic lights to control traffic at the junctions as it crosses other roads. Last night at 7pm what was previously a 10 minute journey by the old road, now closed off, was taking 80 minutes. Cars trying to turn right off the road at the junctions block everything behind them whilst they are waiting to turn.

The Colorado State Supreme Court has ruled that Trump's name cannot be put on Presidential ballots in the state, because of the part he played in fomenting insurrection.

Send in the EU bureaucrats; they'll tie the Russians up in red tape and strangle them with regulations. ( @ Leave.eu )

A Wagner colonel has turned himself in to the ICC....... https://eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/item/waarom-verklaring-van-voormalig-wagner-officier-belangrijk-is-essentieel-om-getuigen-van-binnenuit-te-hebben/ Translation; According to experts, the fact that Russian ex-officer Igor Salikov wants to testify at the International Criminal Court about Russian war crimes in Ukraine is important for legal investigations: "Witnesses from the inside can be important for a criminal case." Salikov arrived in the Netherlands today and wants to report to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It is the first time that a senior (ex) officer from Russia has reported. These types of 'witnesses from the inside' are important for the investigation of war crimes, experts emphasize.

Why do ducks never grow up ? Because they grow down.

The better side of Hobson's Choice.

Lloyd Austin saying that the US is talking to Israel about being more "surgical" and less brute force in their actions.

But for a hostage rescue operation ?

"I lied to the press to protect my family" - fucking ace PR strategy. Totally going to get away with that.

The IDF said so: ( From the BBC ) - Israeli officials have admitted that killing the three men who were holding a white flag was a breach of "rules of engagement".

Ultimately they are only as 'smart' as the person pulling the trigger of flipping the switch.

The ones they failed to follow when shooting those 3 hostages.

I am not the Iranian Government or the Houthi in Yemen.

Yep, who'd be THAT stupid ?

Considering how "smart" modern weapons are claimed to be, and how careful the IDF claim their Rules of Engagement are, I don't think it's low at all. What do you think the ratio of dead Hamas fighters to dead non-combatants is ?

How is Western public opinion going ? Palestinians or IDF ?

Probably over 20 thousand dead in Gaza, hardly accidental.

You do understand that some people see deliberate policy rather than "collateral damage", right ?

Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd, reckons they were false flag actions.

Yet another Tory MP under investigation by the Commons Standards Committee. This time it is Miriam Cates, who got in at the last GE, and is a member of the "New Conservatives". Currently 8 MPs are under investigation by the Committee, 7 are Tories, the 8th is Bob Stewart who resigned the Tory whip after his public order conviction.

So 436 pages after your OP telling us about how readily we will get a trans-Atlantic trade deal, you finally accept the whole thing was a pile of unicorn shit.
