Rogue car drives into crowd, killing multiple people but police already certain it didn't have terroristic intentions

Amazing how quickly they can draw conclusions when they want to

'Autonomous driving is the future.'

Vets say they are under pressure to bring in more money per pet

In 2013, only 10% of vet practices in the UK were owned by large corporate groups. Now that figure stands at 60%.

Bills for pet owners have risen as corporate ownership has increased - by more than 60% between 2015 and 2023, figures from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) show. This is almost double the rate of inflation or the increase in vet salaries over that time.

Wow have just been told to 'stay safe' at the end of a customer support chat 😂

It's 2020 all over again 😭

For most of the last decade, consumers have seen a contrast between brands promoting social transformation, while simultaneously being some of the single greatest contributors to the decline in living standards across the vast majority of the western world.

They’ve seen messaging grow heavy-handed, couched in shame, or used as a tactic for obfuscation. And they’ve asked the consumer to bear the cost, often charging more for worse products (hello, paper shopping bags).

'I was doing unpaid work in the US on a tourist visa. Canada refused to let me in to do the same thing. The US refused to allow me back once they actually knew what I had done. This is Trump’s fault'

Nothing had made me want to leave a company more than being repeatedly told that 'our diverse, multi-lingual team is ready to assist and ensure a positive outcome' while waiting to speak to someone 🙄🤮

Placements at MI6, MI5 and GCHQ promise participants chance to make ‘key contributions to real projects’

Candidates are told they can gain “unique access to our operations, gain experience, and make key contributions to real projects” during placements at MI6, MI5 and GCHQ.

The revelation comes after it emerged Hasaan Arshad, 25, stole top secret data while on an internship at GCHQ.

Tense public debates had raged in Altrincham about the impact a new hotel for asylum seekers would have on community cohesion and safety.

Residents of the affluent market town in Greater Manchester told The Times that the young men — often to be found whiling away the hours at the park or on the high street — had been “perfectly polite”.

“I’ve seen plenty of Brits behaving far worse"

If its not actually a government propaganda piece in the Times, I reads like one 🤔

@Flick 😂 polite scabies of course, makes all the difference

Indeed

The head of the Prevent programme, is leaving his role following failures that came to light after the horrifying Southport attack last year, The Times has reported.

A review launched following the frenzied attack by Axel Rudakubana found counterterrorism police missed several chances to stop the teenager due to spelling mistakes. It also found Prevent “prematurely” dismissed the threat posed by the murderer on each of the three separate occasions he was flagged.
