Dubs backed Starmer didn't he? So it doesn't make sense that Starmer would try to block him.

sassassin posted:Why do we always put lords and barons in charge of important inquiries? Because they can't be fired so the theory is that they don't have any motivation to play politics. Also conceptually life peers are supposed to be people given the position because of talent or pre-eminence in their field (lol)

I went for a drive earlier to keep the batteries charged (they died earlier in the week) and was a bit surprised by how many cars I saw, before realising that it was a bank holiday in a massive city so relatively speaking it was incredibly quiet.

Darth Walrus posted:It does look from the Financial Times data like Russia and Brazil are rapidly overtaking us in official COVID-19 deaths despite an even worse testing regimen, so we're probably not second in the world any more. We are almost certainly the worst in Europe, although Italy has been slow to release its excess death figures, and they look like they might be really bad. Yeah I'm seeing a lot of Italians coming out of lockdown to find that a load of the people they work with are dead.

I earnestly hope that everyone involved in writing and printing this gets corona and has to lie alone on a hospital bed slowly drowning in the remains of their own lungs. I'm honestly so disgusted. The government is cracking on with this knowing that is going to definitely kill teachers, will probably kill a lot of the kids' families, and will also kill at least a few kids.

Nettle Soup posted:Two german tv personalities "won" (in a gameshow) the right from their producers to have 15 minutes of airtime and full editorial privileges for whatever they wanted. Figured you guys might find it interesting, C or captions for english subs. I've got family in germany and ended up watching one of their shows which was actually really entertaining. German tv is surprisingly good but has some very weird formats. They'll just have a single show that will last 4 or 5 hours to fill up an entire evening programming slot. So like tuesday is one long game show from 8pm to 1am and then Wednesday is a cooking show.

Why the gently caress is the UKMT full of posts about American politics? One thing I've really been noticing is that this whole coronavirus crisis seems to have destroyed whatever lingering trust was left in the BBC among people I know. I think their coverage of school re-opening in particular has just been so contrary to most people's experience and opinion it's become blatantly obvious they're just acting as a government mouthpiece.

Kin posted:I've said this before but i feel like i'm in some kind of hosed up alternate reality where i prefer to switch over to GMB and Piers morgan tearing into the Government and Bojo every morning about the latest moral outrage. I think there is some beef from back when Piers was the editor of the Mirror and Boris was editing the Spectator. Also worth remembering that for all his awful poo poo Piers Morgan has also historically had some good opinions, like his opposition to the Iraq War. Didn't he get fired from the Mirror because he refused to apologies to the army after accusing a bunch of soldiers or torturing Iraqi prisoners? In conclusion Piers Morgan is a land of contrasts.

The way I've always eaten Halwa is to mix it with lemon juice and sort of make a paste of it. Maybe that's just a regional thing though? If you're eating it dry you really need to have it with tea or something.

OwlFancier posted:I wondered that but it doesn't look like a photographic difference, the photographic oddities are visible on top of it. Wondered if it was some sort of agricultural project from the farms to the north. I think it might be a difference in time of day the photos were taken, as the Egyptian side has shorter shadows coming off the dunes, and a difference in cameras.

Aramoro posted:It only damages the reputation with people who already hate her, it makes no difference generally. People have been breathless crying about how shameless she is in this thread for years, this thread is significantly more extreme than the general population. I think this might be the straw that broke the camels back. I know a fair few people at the beeb including one who is in a very public position and it's fair to say they are all extremely and openly pissed off with her this morning.
