  4. Yaay! Fame at last! Banned from tw@tter because I commented that the Rayner woman, with her slit skirt, looked like a slut!

    3. Morning Oberst. What with Belle’s expulsion from the Telegraph and the news that all letters are being sent to the Editor there one wonders if this is a concerted drive to get rid of the awkward customers and build a compliant base!

      2. And the excitement in the US over Musk’s purchase of Twitter – where they are looking at regulation.

  5. Those who failed care homes when Covid struck must accept the blame

    Well as we suspected back in the day, this all now looks like a coordinated plan to kick start the pandemic with some shocking death statistics
    Didn’t Sweden and other countries do the same thing with the same outcomes?

  6. Good morning.
    The start of our last day in Wild Welsh Wales.
    After leaving the camera alone on Wednesday, I noted the battery had perked up a little yesterday morning, so I took it on our ride up the Ffestiniog and it actually stayed working!

    The Double Fairelie that hauled us up to Blaenau:

    And on the way back, passing the reservoir for the hydro-electric power station that necessitated the construction of a new bit of line:-

  7. Man killed at Lakeside shopping centre in Essex. 29 April 2022.

    Police were called to reports that a man had been attacked at Lakeside shopping centre, in Thurrock, at 4.30pm.

    The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services and Essex police confirmed they have opened a murder investigation into the incident.

    It is believed the man was attacked by two men, who have been described as black or Asian. One of the suspects was reportedly wearing blue ripped jeans, a white T-shirt, black trainers and a black puffer jacket, carrying a small bag, and the other was wearing a blue tracksuit and white trainers.

    “I want to extend my condolences to the family after this awful attack,” said DCI Scott Egerton. “At the time of the assault, this area of the shopping centre will have been busy so I believe someone will have seen what happened.

    “I need them to contact my team of dedicated, specialist officers and staff.

    “I know this attack will cause concern but at this stage we believe this is a targeted attack and there’s no risk to the wider public.”

    This was what American Television calls a “Hit”. Almost certainly about drugs and the elimination of a rival. It occurred at half past four in the afternoon during one of the busiest times of day. The killers were completely indifferent to both which tells us that they no longer fear the police or indeed the judicial process.
