I think I read something somewhere that they were turning off SkyHD boxes but can't find it for looking now.
Anyone know anything? Or is it just a temporary issue?
(I am still getting all the channel 5, bbc etc but not Drama or some C4.)
I can watch some of the channels through the Roku.

Somewhere like Digital Spy a good place to look for stuff, no idea on any of that I know a lot of SD channels being turned off

Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting photo ID

Boris Johnson fell foul of legislation he introduced himself as prime minister – when he was reportedly turned away from a polling station after failing to take photographic identification.

Mr Johnson, who quit as PM after three years in 2022, had been trying to cast his vote in the local elections in South Oxfordshire, according to Sky News.

But polling station staff had to turn the former Conservative Party leader away because he could not produce any ID, Sky said.

Just had a person from the Labour Party knocking on the door (in London) asking if I'd voted yet, and wanted to put details of who I'd voted for into an app on his phone.

He seemed a bit dismayed when I told him I'd voted for Khan as "the best of a bad bunch" (something told me this wasn't the first time he'd heard that), and "more progressive parties downballot".

Bit of an odd interaction all round, the guy was wearing a bunch of Vote Labour stickers and tried giving me flyers for Sadiq for Mayor. I thought that kind of canvassing/campaigning/doorknocking was illegal on polling days?

Not allowed to do it outside the polling place, but knocking on doors is fine iirc

I also voted for Mr Khan's illegal and unnecessary pay-per-mile ULEZ scheme to continue putting honest three-wheel van traders out of business, and green downballot. Was tempted to stick one in for the CPB as well but couldn't remember what kind of sex perverts they are.

Yeah, they want everyone to sub to Discovery+. Although if you're on BT Internet you might well get a free Discovery+ account. My dad did, but he's too lazy to generate a password, so I can't borrow it to watch the cycling

Usually they'll go around likely or confirmed labour voters, to ensure that their voters come out and vote. You might still be on the lists from 2019 or before as a likely labour voter, hence being a target for the GOTV campaign.

I dropped my postal vote at the polling station. There's a new rule now and you have to fill out a form, they can't just add it to a collection pouch.

I've been in a flirty online relationship with a local woman for a few months, and we were planning on actually meeting up in person this week. Tonight she shared a 'GET KHAN OUT!' graphic from a literal white supremacist's account. I asked her if she meant to have shared it, as my own crippled fingers have shared embarrassing stuff by accident over the years when keeping an eye on the far right.

She replied: "Yup, Essex and London born and bred...."

I don't think I've hit unfriend and block as quickly as that in a long time. I had a lucky escape.... lol

Can you still be a politician from a prison cell for publishing upskirting photos?

I mentioned that I'd voted before coming to work and one of my colleagues said they weren't going to bother because they only voted in proper elections. They had no idea that the PCC and Mayor were members of political parties, or that voting for a candidate was often read as an approving of their political party in general.

They messaged me a little while ago claiming that they'd voted this evening. Who knows, I might have doubled the number of votes from that polling station.
