Right. & UK already has multiple national crime & anti terrorism agencies from NCA to Mi5 & MOD domestic support

Hoping Labour would amalgamate some of the organised crime & intel roles played by these agencies

Suspect it’ll be another fart of tax cash to reduce police numbers. Can’t wait #c4news

Can’t really blame her for not challenging every throwaway comment made. Would be like waiting for the forth official to rule on every stoppage

Or perhaps she fears being hauled in front of the Lefty Bias Commission [formerly BBC Board of Governors] … Just kidding #bbcpm

Well that & the infuriating beep when you forget … Negative Reinforcement beats the threat of prosecution any day

Which is where the debate / consultation on SocMedia ban should focus IMHO: on what the platforms can do to improve safety #r4today

Pretty rare exception these days & a rural issue too, no?

Wood’s same price as heating oil, almost as expensive gas … & both more expensive than heat exchange, especially if you have installed photovoltaics

So yeh, I’m with a ban on em for everyone else #wato

Not criticising BBC - pointing out the rants of a lunatic president just isn’t headline news.

Perhaps it’s time to relegate it to further down the schedule … & I personally felt I didn’t need to hear a mother put thru that to know how many families suffered to help US

Enjoy the rest of #wato

Agree - and good for Canada when China’s just geographically ‘local’.
Not so for UK

I also agree China is more stable & frankly less of a threat to UK than Russia or US

But Britain’s best hope of stability from a global power has to be with EUrope, not China, Russia, or America #r4today
