Maybe I've picked this up wrong, but surely if we were still in the EU these charges couldn't be introduced, so it is the result of Brexit.
A bit of a nuisance, because if I strayed anywhere near the Donegal border I used to get a message "You are now liable for roaming charges", or words to that effect, so no doubt this will apply again when my phone provider reintroduces these charges.
That'll not be Brexit's fault, that'll be your fault for living or being near the border. Come on, you need to start thinking like a Brexiteer!

Of course, it's the 'nasty' networks fault for this, not Brexit that removed the barriers that prevented the networks doing what they've always done.

Having read the discussion, I'm now thinking the Central Belt is the Glasgow/Falkirk/Edinburgh triangle, outlined by the M8/M80/M876/M9. Nowhere east of Edinburgh, or West of Glasgow.

Ayr is categorically central belt. It's 45 minutes on a bus from Glasgow city centre ffs. The only people who don't think Ayr is central belt are weird grey-skinned city folk who only know of trees from books and still think of Ayr as "that place with a Butlins".
X77 timetable says over an hour from Ayr to Buchanan Street. From where I stay in FIfe, the bus is timetabled to take an hour to Buchanan bus station. I think you need to rethink what you class as central belt if you are using commute times. Going by car I can do Glasgow city centre in less than half an hour

Brexit lorry park 'ruins night sky' for Kent residents
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-57299121
No night sleep for brexit loving Kent. Leave 59% Remain 41%.
I do like a good bit of schadenfreude, if we are still allowed to use that term post Brexit!!

"Julian Knight, chairman of a committee that scrutinises the organisation, told the BBC he wanted to know why Bashir was rehired as a correspondent in 2016 and later promoted to religion editor."
Is it possible to replace Bashir with Priti Patel, and religion editor with Home Secretary? Or once again, am I just trying to find cynical hypocrisy where there is none?

A Home Office immigration raid, targeting Sturgeon's constituency
It's a good job I'm not a suspicious person.

The country basically has 32% that want independence 32% don’t want independence and 36% couldn’t be arsed voting last Thursday. When Indy Ref 2 happens the outcome will be decided from how many from that 36% if they decide to vote, which way they will vote. For what it’s worth I don’t think over 80% will vote the next time.
If you look at the EU Referendum results, just under 52% voted out in the referendum, but if you look at that alongside the turnout of 72%, then only 37% of the UK actually voted for it. But that was forever rammed home has being an overwhelming mandate for out.

I see the WM Govt's proposed new immigration laws are going down well.

It never fails to amaze me how people can look at the same information but come up with completely different conclusions. In Hartlepool lots of people obviously thought the information they had told them that Johnson is a wonderful politician and leader, whereas the same information tells me he is an arsehole and buffoon that should be nowhere near any form of govt.

They are raging...even a boy called john clark chief tory brexiteer skipper type has said there's no chance he is voting for the tories.
I must admit to having no sympathy for them apart from a few that got drowned out ..they were warned they choose to ignore the warnings
Just an observation, but over the years, the fishing industry has painted a picture in the public mind of a fleet of family owned boats. But reading into the story above, the company UK Fisheries has a single boat that, according to the reports, each year catches 10% of all fish sold in UK chip shops. Hardly a small family business.

Meanwhile it looks like Johnson is to be his own judge.

So if 5 get admitted each season, presumably 5 get relegated also. Its pretty much just the Champions League but without PSG and Bayern. I can't get worked up either way by it.
I can't see it being as simple as that, after all why would Man U, Man C and the other clubs come up with this if they could be relegated out of it after a year, and possibly not return for several seasons.

Saw this sparrowhawk yesterday in the garden, eating a starling for lunch.

Yellowhammer is an excellent bird to get in your garden
We're lucky and get quite a few of them, sometimes I've seen at least 8 or 9 feeding.

Just noticed this thread, so given that I've recently got a new camera, and I'm starting to get interested in watching the birds in the garden, I thought I should post some pics of what I've seen.

One way to avoid defeat is not to hold a vote.
Johnson is a total cùnt.
Surely just another example of "taking back control"?

7 minutes ago, John Lambies Doos said:42 minutes ago, KingRocketman II said:me neither. the main thing I have gathered from the whole issue is that a key issue appears to relate to Sturgeon having a meeting with someone re Salmond's alleged antics two days before the date she remembered. And that her husband may or may not have been in the hoose at that time eary-wigging. That Is the extent of my understanding of this "sleaze" at the heart of Government.
And mine
Meanwhile the actual sleaze at the heart of the UK Government goes unmentioned.

On the news just now, they were interviewing a man who just arrived in the UK from Brazil. He had come via Germany, so I assume under the new proposals he would have to quarantine in a hotel, but everyone else on the plane from Germany could just go on their merry way. What’s the point of that? If he is infected then he’s already exposed everyone else on the plane to it but they have no real restrictions placed on them.

Can't see the point of putting him through the impeachment process again, when that doesn't necessarily force him out of office.
My thinking is that even though they know impeachment will fail because the GOP will not support it, what it will do is make it a matter of public record who voted against the impeachment. Maybe they think it will be good ammunition for the future.

The official Boris pm cluster-fuck thread

Just listened to Johnston on the radio, waffling on about how Hancock was removed from his job in the correct way. I just wish one day the reporter would just say "excuse me Mr Johnston but you are just talking complete crap. All you do is waffle, making things up to deflect from the question asked, and hoping that if you go on rambling long enough people what have forgotten what you were asked."
