The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist

Nathan Rimmington, 33, is a haulier and owner of an HGV driving school in Barnsley. Huge, tattooed, always sweating and always pining for a pint, he is portrayed in the series as an incorrigible joker: "If the government don't crack down on immigration, my kids will have to go to school on fucking camels."

Roko’s Basilisk is actually an inkjet that functioned long enough to end the world, which is the true desire of all printers

If only there were a French expression to denote an uncanny feeling of having experienced something before

France’s new prime minister is…the very one who resigned on Monday, Sébastien Lecornu. It rounds off the most chaotic and absurdist week in French politics in modern times

Here are three wonderfully preserved Roman shoes that were discovered at Bar Hill Roman fort on the Antonine Wall in Scotland in the early 1900s. Shoes made for men, women and children have been found there, reminding us that frontier zones were not an exclusively military environment. #FindsFriday

Three ancient roman shoes with pierced decoration displayed on dummy feet.

Really quite shitty blaming "young producers" here I think. It's your job to train them and there should be someone experienced enough with some oversight who can stop really bad errors like this.

Especially on a show where a panellist of 35+ years is one of Britain's most experienced editors!

You didn't spot it. You broadcast the egregious claim and it was defamatory.

“London hits 'historic' clean air milestone 184 years early…a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality.”

Quite a leadership achievement for @london.gov.uk’s government! While nations talk, (some) cities act. And get results.
