Ignorant bastards.

BBC admits error over 'Can women have it all?' headline on Jacinda Ardern resignation story

 

[stavros]

To be fair we here have used various female and male descriptions of Johnson.

 

[Dystopiary]

Here's a better headline, that's less "the West made me do it, and lets not mention the people murdered":

Russia attacks Ukrainian civilians again - eleven people killed, several injured.

The Russian military/authorities don't need an excuse to attack Ukraine; they've been doing it since 2014, larger scale since 24th February last year.

But we're not the actual national broadcaster.

They still operate? It is a potentially valuable institution but has been so fucking useless for anything but well, QI and Attenborough that who cares mostly. I pay for those exclusively.

Really? Fucking hell! Because I think it goes missing a lot!

Charities working with ADHD and autism are warning of a steep rise in the numbers of people using short videos on social media to self-diagnose themselves with the conditions.

Who else would people self-diagnose?

Turning to social media for neurodiverse 'diagnosis'

I wish I could find the (I think) Guardian article which described people “taking selfies of each other”.

taking "otheries" surely

Indeed. Or as we say in English, “photos”.

Photos... Here is one from 1932 when the BBC ruled the waves.

Man who stole 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs convicted Man who stole 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs convicted

“Joby Pool was surrounded by a mountain of the foil-wrapped chocolate when police caught up with him at the weekend.

“Recognising he was foiled too, and that "an oeuf was an oeuf", he surrendered to officers”

“It was during the police operation that Pool, from West Yorkshire, raised his hands to the force in resignation things were not so much Wonka as wonky.”

“Pool drove away his bounty before the plan started to flake when he reached the northbound M42 where police pounced.”

Please make it stop!

you've got the odd 200 grand as security for a Johnson loan?

you've got the odd 200 grand as security for a Johnson loan?

My appeal is sexual rather than financial

you've got the odd 200 grand as security for a Johnson loan?

You'd have to be willing to shell out

He stole how mini eggs?!?

 

[DaveCinzano]

I'd heard it was orchestrated by some guy who seduced one of the security guards who was stationed on the front gate at the factory.

After a long courtship he got hold of the keys, made copies, and then came back one night to effect the heist.

Knowing that investigators might consider the possibility of an inside job and look into staff with access to the site, he cached the stash in a pre-prepared camouflaged underground bunker.

Have they put a Bounty on his head?

(But I suppose that comment mars the brand theme. )

Damn, I wanted to get Cad in there as well. I'm out, time to boost.

Not sure why this made me laugh out loud, but it did.

I can't remember if it was Robinson, Webb or Rajan, who were all presenting this morning, who tempted us with an interview with "two former Prime Ministers". It turned out to be Tony Blair and, er, William Hague.

The Hague years were very forgettable, in fairness
