What might be more interesting would be if it is a diode valve light bulb rather than a filament one. They would cope better with bumps in the road, so it would make sense that a bus and tram company might make their own and a filament one wouldn't have lasted this long.

Currently, it is on their website if you click on the England tab but not the main one. Pretty poor in terms of coverage considering that it happened last night.

Where have you seen this? Where does it show them shooting after he is down on the ground?

Well that's going to give all those "Christians" that never go to church something else to complain about. Maybe they'll stop painting roundabouts.

There are steps up to the doors, he is right at the bottom of the steps which is where he'd fall if he was shot at the door. The men inside that were shot were at the doors trying to keep them closed.

The masks are PPE not to conceal identity. They are fire retardant. I haven't seen name badges but UK police always have numbers displayed.

The attacker was trying to get in the door and it seems like one shots aimed at him penetrated the door. The police shot because he appeared to have explosives hanging from his waist. If he hadn't carried out the attack then the police wouldn't have been shooting.

I guess they can skip the wearing a yellow star step when they just go by color of skin.

Manchester attack: Christian and Muslim leaders express 'solidarity' with Jewish community

What action do they want? The police shot the attacker and have arrested 3 associates. There'll likely be a police presence outside all synagogues for a while.

Don't be ridiculous, you can only be arrested for speech if it is threats or inciting or planning a crime.

A country's leader at the UN talking about what the UN is meant to be about really should be normal and not newsworthy, sadly it is something that stands out and needs celebrating.

The thing is that it isn't an organization in any way. That essentially means that anyone classing themselves as anti-fascist could then become a target.

Most "oval" pills have straight edges and rounded ends, this shape narrows it down a lot but still no way of telling without being able to make out the markings. Could be Cetirizine or Tramadol but possibly others.

For my British friends, Tylenol is a brand name for paracetamol. But then my British friends don't really need this message as this particular stupidity hasn't infected us yet.
For my US friends, in the UK it costs about a third of what it does in the US.

I'm not sure it can be classed as a deal. A deal implied both sides giving the other something. I don't believe the US (or any allies) got anything. It was simply a surrender.
