At one time in my youth, the BBC was the epitome of neutral journalism. The World Service was listened to by people of every nation as the singular source of unbiased reporting. Let's hope they can get it back on track.

Most countries use journalists to make their viewpoint more digestible. Carl Bernstein discussed this in the 70s and doubtless it hasn't stopped today. So what's new?

I hope the community will be safe. Seems like negligence was involved.

The bets are on. Will the system fail after A) 2 days B) 1 month C) 3 months

And how would you know? It all seems like guesswork.

There is nothing luxurious about Thai prisons. If you can afford boiled water, great. I have been told by women who have visited Klong Prem that the female section is much better than the men's. Money pays for the little things.

Elephants are getting closer to farms and villages so expect more issues to crop up.

A few retired generals must be concerned that he will look at the red tank issue.

How on earth do they come to these detailed conclusions? I could just as well say, "The victim, identified as Mr. Ek, was clubbed on the back of his head by a neighbour with whom he had a long-running feud. The neighbour then pushed his body out into the river from where it floated downstream."

Well, I guess France has a Mediterranean coast and an English Channel coastline so the UK could set up an agency in France first. Then they could mark each person on a checklist and simply decide on the spot. No. Nope. Not on your Nelly. Not a hope in hell. Don't bother. After refusing each request, France could deal with them.

"Daddy, I don't know how to earn enough to keep me in the lifestyle to which I grew accustomed as a young man. Please put me back into the royal family and give me millions in handouts, please. Pretty please."

It already happened.

If Trump is to have a lasting impact on the country, he is going to want three to five terms to achieve everything on his plate. Revising the Constitution would be his first priority. It has been amended 27 times thus far so a bit more won't hurt. As a President immune to legal prosecution for his presidential acts, he could order every state support his amendments. And then.... Wait a minute, I'm waking up.

I guess they'll want to become astronauts and presidents next. 😁

Good luck with finding people to operate manufacturing in the US in the future.

She probably goes to bed and says in a husky voice, "Zese men, zay come and zay go, and always too soon."

Apparently the Republican party is worried it doesn't have enough money compared to Harris. Why should money determine election outcomes? Can Harris win on money alone? https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/03/republican-campaign-money-problems-congress-00176947

Imane Khelif has higher testosterone than Musk. Does that automatically make her a leader?

Don't forget: "They're coming for our guns."

What happened to that infamous laptop?

Soon the cabinet will be full of sons and daughters, all looking confused.

Do you think that when you lose one argument you just switch to another?

Before every election where a democratic party candidate won, the right said they're "coming for our guns." They didn't. Now, "She's going to make us a Marxist country." It's just baiting the public. By this daft definition, there are lots of programs in the USA that clearly follow Marxism already. THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, AMBER ALERTS, AMTRAK, PUBLIC BEACHES, PUBLIC BUSING SERVICES, BUSINESS SUBSIDIES, THE CENSUS BUREAU, THE CIA, FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS THE COURT SYSTEM, DAMS, PUBLIC DEFENDERS, DISABILITY INSURANCE, THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, THE EPA FARM SUBSIDIES, THE FBI, THE FCC, THE FDA, FEMA, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, FOOD STAMPS, GARBAGE COLLECTION, HEALTH CARE, PUBLIC HOUSING, THE IRS, PUBLIC LANDFILLS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, MEDICARE, MEDICAID THE MILITARY, STATE & NATIONAL MONUMENTS, PUBLIC MUSEUMS, NASA, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NPR, PUBLIC PARKS, PBS, THE PEACE CORPS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, PRISONS & JAILS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, SECRET SERVICE, SEWER SYSTEMS, SNOW REMOVAL SERVICES, SOCIAL SECURITY, PUBLIC STREET LIGHTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, HIGHWAYS, ROADS, BRIDGES), USPS, VACCINES, VETERAN HEALTH CARE, WELFARE, THE WHITE HOUSE THE WIC PROGRAM, STATE ZOOS

Taking a gift is always a bad look. Hope they declared all these gifts.

Isn't that the fault of the government that signed the agreements? What would happen if they failed to repay was in black and white.
