What is likely to happen is antipodean imports will undercut British producers to the extent that the smaller UK farmers find their businesses to be uneconomic. To quote the National Farmers Union evidence to a Government Committee; "Specifically, lower production costs and weaker standards will see the introduction of more competitive Australian imports that will become completely tariff-free after 15 years. Asking UK farmers to go toe-to-toe whilst maintaining their sustainability, environmental, and animal welfare commitments significantly risks the longevity of the UK agricultural sector in the future. "

A man on death row in Oklahoma was denied a stay of execution by the State Parole Board, despite the State Attorney General supporting his petition and stating the original conviction was unsound. Luckily the Supreme Court imposed the stay; https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/how-richard-glossips-case-is-challenging-republicans-in-oklahoma-to-rethink-the-death-penalty

She just has a thing for rich old men... https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/who-noor-alfallah-al-pacino-girlfriend-pregnant-b1084703.html "Pacino’s new love interest has a romantic track record with older Hollywood royalty, including Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and Clint Eastwood. Alfallah dated Jagger in 2017, when he was 74 and she was only 22. Alfallah also dated billionaire philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen, now 61, in 2018. She was also spotted on dates with director Eli Roth, 51, the same year. The following year she was also rumoured to be dating Eastwood, 91. However, she claimed that the pair were merely family friends."

The latest edition of "Scripts too far fetched for Hollywood"; Halfway up the mountain on the penultimate stage of the Giro, an individual time trial, Primosz Roglic had just taken the "virtual" lead from Geraint Thomas when his chain unshipped. He stopped to put the chain back on and a helpful fan gave him a push start back up the hill. This fan was in fact his former room mate on the Slovenian junior ski jump team, who alongside Roglic had won gold at the World junior championships, in the very Italian resort the ITT was taking place in.

On a serious note; Ukraine does possess the capability to launch drones at Moscow, but why do it ? Many of their Western allies have warned against action directed at Russian territory, although this may well be simnply words spoken in public for Russian consumption. On a practical level, the chances of a long range strike maintaining it's accuracy across 500Km of supposedly defended Russia and overcoming the GPS jamming and other EW protection deployed in Moscow are extrememly slim. As a potential false flag, Putin was a lot more violent when setting up his cassus belli for the war with the Chechens in 1999. One other point, looking at the pictures of the apartment blocks allegedly hit, there doesn't seem to have been any sort of explosive payload on the drones, although there is one video of a very large explosion as one apparently crashes in an open field. However, it has shaken up the Russian propaganda shysters.

Pure terrorism. What have the Russians done to provoke such a callous, violent, and inhumane reaction ?

Is Tella staying ?

Is there any point in watching this ?

No, it is another thread for you to shout out "Look at me !" At some point, no doubt your side kick will turn up. If you want a thread that solely supports your position without question, make it clear from the start. But then again, that would neither be diverse or inclusive.

Calling me transphobic is not an insult ? Your standard response to somebody holding a different viewpoint to yours is abusive, almost every time. You even jump on innocent language to make your schoolyard taunts. If you want to hold an adult discussion as to whether there is a biological advantage for male->female trans athletes when competing with others who are female from birth let's have it. There is an alternative view to yours, one that is widely held by elite female athletes across a wide range of sports. Are they not entitled to a view on this matter ?

Spoken like a complete prat.

People assigned the female gender at birth race against similar competitors, people who have gone through puberty as a male race against similar competitors. This is fair, unless you believe discriminating against the former group by including people with advantages in skeletal and muscular development is "diverse".
