    No, that was my point, you never mentioned anything about him or the millions of illegals, but now all of a sudden you're up in arms about 40 odd people.

     

    I haven't read about these SAs coming in, nor do i care, neither do you if you are honest with yourself... its just your trump derandement obsession that compelled you write something.

    If you really want to know, I'd suggest looking at the white house page, see what they have to say, or some pro trump pages, then cross reference that with your MSM lies, somewhere in the mix you will find the truth.


    I never mentioned the moon landings either, or the price of eggs. This topic is not about Biden, get over that.

    Bill Clinton received a hellicopter. Still uses it today. 

    You would have a link for the claim, right?

    There is no evidence anywhere that he was given a helicopter, much less that he still uses it.

    So, where did you get this information that even the US Government doesn't know about. Please tell.

    And what about the transportation infrastructure around the airport?


    What about it? It's been designed with that in mind since the start. Road access from the south, and also train access from the south.

    What's your opinion on it, how would you have altered the plan? (Yes, I know you don't have an opinion and you know nothing about the plan, you just need to drop a sentence on every thread).

    That's not how it works.

    It doesn't work based on addresses but on location.  Every phone within range of the masts putting out the warning signal will receive it if capable and set up to do so.

    Well thats pretty stupid,its called a mobile phone for a reason it should receive the local alert where ever it is located... no ? 


    Yes, I made an assumption and it was wrong. I think if people didn't get it it is most likely due to not having alerts enabled. But again that's an assumption, and as I don't have good form in this thread with assumptions I will stand down.

    Carry on!

    This is just ridiculous. Seriously. Pay subscription fees for turning indicators.

    No wonder the European automobile industry is going down the drain.

    I'll give it another decade to completely disappear. All brands and manufacturers will be based in China then.


    Yeah, I agree. A desperate move and it leaves a bad taste - very "Appley". 

    Very glad non of the Chinese marques have gone down that route (I think), they seem to just give you as much as they can.

    There is NO editorial voice of the forum ? We (admin) do not dictate what is posted in the mainstream media. Articles are sourced across the board from a range of sources and yes there may be some articles from one side or another but its by no means a permanent bias and to suggest it is, is unfair, but then thats the nature of the forum members I suppose.

     


    .....as evidenced by the fact that in this thread there are people complaining the editorial policy is left wing, and others complaining it is right wing. You can't win, as two people can see the same thing so completely differently.

    I have my own opinion but it's more a reflection of what is in the MSM and who it is owned by.

  7. So my brother in the UK has an Audi e-Tron. They are trying to push subscriptions on him for things like swooshy indicators. Not sure who would pay, but I guess they are all scrambling to make up for falling sales, or to make as much money as they can while they can.

     

    Are any of the Chinese brands doing anything like this? Or is it is just you get all the options if you buy the top spec and that's it. I would hate to see subs coming in and for that to be normalised.

    And amazing that indicators not only identify that the car is turning but also in which direction! What new fangled technology!

    On another note I hate swooshy indicators, normal flashing ones are so much clearer to other road users, but that's a rant for another day.

    Pensioner arrested over 'thought crime' tweet as officers examine 'Brexity books and wife's shopping list'

    Some exerts from the article:

    A retired special constable has spoken out about free speech being under attack after he was detained over a social media post warning about anti-Semitism in Britain.

    The officers arrived after Foulkes challenged a supporter of pro-Palestinian marches on X.

    Foulkes had responded to a post from an account called "Mr Ethical" featuring a Palestinian flag, writing: "One step away from storming Heathrow looking for Jewish arrivals".

    Without warning, the Metropolitan Police Intelligence Command had referred his post to Kent Police, citing "concerns around online content".

    Foulkes was locked in a police cell for eight hours and questioned on suspicion of malicious communications.

    https://www.gbnews.com/news/free-speech-row-kent-thought-crime-tweet-police-brexit-books

    Oh please, posting GB "News" is the most obvious thing ever - it is the most rabidly right wing broadcaster in the UK by far: like Fox News on anti-immigration, racist, right wing steroids. It also has a history of being fined and sued for breaches of impartiality, for breaching ethics standards, for using misleading graphics and fake statistics to link one certain ethnic group with certain types of crimes (and that was later deemed "inflammatory and misleading"). It has also faced issues with blatantly false reporting which it had to apologise for.

    In short, it is a hideous, hate spreading channel and is not a serious source. No suprise you post the rubblish you do if this is where you get your "news".

    However, Foulkes was genuinely arrested. What the GB News "article" fails to mention though is any context at all, just stupid quotes about "Brexity things". If you read the full context the post did seem to be a call to storm Heathrow and intercept Jews, so no surprise the police looked at it. However, eight hours does seem like too long to investigate and conclude that he actually wasn't making that call, and the police have publicly apologised. But incitement to violence is definitely a matter for the police to look at - just in this case they bungled it somewhat, mistakes can happen.

    Even Foulkes realises this: On reflection he recognised it would have been better if he had made it clear he was challenging the original poster about their escalation of antisemitism, rather than it appearing as if he was the one who was planning action at Heathrow.
