BBC in Trouble again.
Glastonbury and the BBC is an absolute racket. I worked for a while with a Taxi firm in Bath, with which the BBC had an account. Every morning the train from London which arrived at about 0930 would disgorge a dozen or more BBC executives (from the first class carriage at the rear). Each would have a taxi waiting for him/her, to take them to Glastonbury (about £65 a car). They would be picked up in the evening and returned to Bath Station - so £130 per head paid for by the license fee, plus of course the first class train fares. It wouldn't be unusual for 15 or more cars to be out there. On one memorable occasion some jolly important chap hired a car (mine) to take him to Castle Cary Station about 10 miles beyond Glastonbury; charged at the metered rate from the City Boundary of Bath. With waiting time at the festival site it came to £108, for a 10 mile taxi ride. I know that in June the BBC account bill (usually a couple of hundred quid a month) was in the tens of thousands! Sometimes they would stay overnight in one of the best hotels in or near Bath instead of going back to London. They spent money like water - it was all on expenses of course!- 1

Is it actually possible for a foreigner to buy land and run a tourism business in Thailand
Thank you sir, really genuine and honest opinion . I’ll keep your points in mind. Unfortunately, I’m not into the whole Thai wife thing or really interested in Asians in general , just not my style, to be honest. I’m heading there for business, not for personal relationships. -

UK Reform would be largest party if general election held today
I have no comment on the sentence. That's why we have courts and judges and laws. In any case seems like Tommy benefited from a 2Tier system. Looks like a massive bill for the taxpayer. "The Ministry also said Robinson's isolation was "substantially more permissive" than ordinary segregation arrangements: Robinson had access to a laptop and email, use of a gym facilities for three hours a day, and the ability to make social phone call for four hours each day. It also revealed that, since November 2024, Robinson had made more than 1,250 social telephone calls, had sent 100s of emails, and had had more than 90 visits approved, more than any other inmate."
