We were talking about this months ago, and one of us showed they were not making any money whatsoever since maybe 2015. It doesn't take much to keep it going, they earn so much elsewhere.

TOTHEGOOGLEMACHINES! https://pressgazette.co.uk/media_business/times-sun-2022-accounts-revenues-talktv/ quote:The Sun more than doubled its pre-tax losses to £127.2m last year – but News UK stablemates The Times and Sunday Times boosted profits by 115% to £73.2m. But good news: quote:After more than 1,000 claims have gone through the courts, the High Court heard in March last year there were at that time 52 claims registered against NGN, with a further 436 claims at the pre-action letter stage and 82 more claims “in the pipeline” So more money to be lost.

I see Peter Hitchens is talking utter bollocks again, thus confirming the forward flow of time. https://twitter.com/ClarkeMicah/status/1678433313575383047 Sunak and Starmer both want secret Portugal-style end to the war on drugs but they're not telling anyone because it's secret. Anyway Portugal has failed, here's a terrible article that I only read the headline of.

>> Missing the Mark << Taken over the Cliff The self-styled scourge of the celebrity sex-pest, Mark Williams-Thomas popped up in the press this weekend to give his two cents on the BBC presenter scandal. He was demanding that the BBC identify the suspect publicly, but he of all people should know why they aren't. The last time the BBC rushed to name a suspect in a case like this – and the individual in question turned out to be totally innocent – they opened up an absolute world of pain for themselves. And on whose dogshit information were they acting in the Cliff Richard case? Why, none other than policeman-turned-pundit... Mark Williams-Thomas's! From Popbitch which explains why The BBC is being so coy.

Not to sound like I'm in the Sun's corner which gently caress no. But there was talk of large sums of money being handed over in what sounded very much like 'Could be blackmail' amounts. Now that the Police are involved them now saying "No, no it's fine! I don't know what my mothers talking about" would have strong incentive to do so in such a case.

Getting very confused now with this BBC presenter thing. I'm seeing tweets saying the 'victim' (depending whether you believe the parents or the lawyer or the Scum) is female (which is the impression I've had so far) others that it is a 'boy'. Or are there two separate ones going on at the same time? Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of Soap.  anyone else remember that show?

The Daily Mail’s headline is “ONE-IN-SIX PEOPLE KNOW WHO SCANDAL-HIT BBC STAR IS”. They must have spent ages brainstorming a way to say “yes it’s Huw Edwards” without getting in trouble.

big scary monsters posted:wtf in what southern accent do pour and poor sound the same? Quite. Most of the rest I accept as being generally true, but if anything I would have thought pour and poor sounding the same would be the other way round. I can imagine someone with a Scots accent for example saying poo-uhrrrrrrrrr for both. Pour sounds like pore (as in skin) and poor sounds like poo-uh in my southern experience.

Poor-pour is part of the Cure-North merger, which is a class of mergers which has a lot of conditions. I think that map is mostly accurate for areas of the UK with the C-N merger, but some of the pairs are only homophones if you also have a non-rhotic accent, and others only if you have the horse-hoarse merger too. Theoretically, if you’ve got horse-horse and a non-rhotic accent, you should have the full pour-poor-paw triple. But there’s always exceptions, down to even individual idiolects.

I know that poor and pour sound identical in Received Pronunciation (source: me, guillotine waiting list ticket holder), and I think that's an accent more heavily concentrated around the south?
