    Will we ever find that out now??

    General Election 2019 thread

    Comment on the BBC News website on this article asking "Is Jeremy Corbyn the most ineffectual opposition leader ever?" They are clearly too young to remember Neil Kinnock!

    I'm in the safety profession. Fire safety isn't my specialism, although i have taken an interest in this, and discussed with a number of experts (including those who provide fire safety advice to the construction industry). As for criminal negligence, do you mean that it was negligent not to...

    The concrete core of the building structure should have been (and is normally) adequate to limit the speed of the fire spread, thus enabling a structured evacuation (with the majority of people being able to stay put). This makes blocks like Grenfell actually quite safe, particularly if they...

    Peak Insanity Level Reached?

    Semenya is genetically female, and should be allowed to compete with other females, provided it can be demonstrated that her testosterone levels are natural (there is a great deal of natural variation in testosterone levels in both men and women). Anyone who is genetically male (no matter how...

    Good to see them get spanked by Gloucester (a proper rugby club) again!

    39 dead in lorry in Essex

    They must think they have evidence of earlier involvement by him. His picking up of a trailer in which they have probably already died is not causing their death

    39 dead in lorry in Essex

    As said previously, they were more likely to have been forced or coerced into the trailer, but i agree that that shouldn't detract from the human tragedy. Newspapers know the identity of the Irishman who RENTED the trailer, but HE hasn't been named, though is likely to be linked more directly to...

    The amount of trolldom on Twitter of this guy is astounding. They are even turning it into a sectarian issue!!

    If they were Chinese, i would go along with the trafficking or modern slavery suggestion, rather than just smuggling in asylum seekers.

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Andrew Marr thought she was smirking at a question he asked her on his programme last week, and had to apologise, saying "I didn't realise it was just her normal expression". Mischievous, you think???!

    So the police have been given an extra 24 hours to trump something up against the driver!

    39 dead in lorry in Essex

    I hope if he is innocent that he gets a shit-hot personal injury lawyer and goes after every one of those media bastards for every penny they have! Essex Police have said they will not speculate as to the bloke's identity. Sadly the mainstream media have not followed their example.

    39 dead in lorry in Essex

    So in my view, the public disclosure of this driver's face and personal details all over the mainstream media is utterly abhorrent! The evidence seems to suggest that the tractor unit he was driving entered the UK at Holyhead off a ferry from Dublin on Saturday. He has probably done a load of...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    There's something about Katya Adler that reminds me of a ventriloquist's dummy - i think it's the rosy cheeks and the mouth that appears over-populated with teeth. No offence intended - she just looks a bit odd.

    Some good news

    Just to be clear, there were never any plans submitted to WDC for the Old Leamingtonians site.
