    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.

    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

    I do like a good bit of schadenfreude, if we are still allowed to use that term post Brexit!!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57209829 "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.

    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. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/may/09/eu-countries-snub-priti-patels-plans-to-return-asylum-seekers

    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.

    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. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2021/apr/28/uk-covid-live-nnews-vaccines-boris-johnson-coronavirus-latest-updates?page=with:block-608960708f08080a7ae6e9e4#block-608960708f08080a7ae6e9e4

    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.

    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.

    Surely just another example of "taking back control"?

    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.

    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.

    Be interesting to know how quickly they get the second jab, 3 or 12 weeks?

    She says she won't be bound by indicative votes, but since legally the original referendum was non-binding, does that not make that an indicative vote?
