Northern grit meets news junkie. Here for the latest scoop and the odd cheeky comment. Battling mental and physical gremlins with a cuppa and a stiff upper lip.
Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

🚨 MEGA THREAD: The official Mandelson files just dropped. I have spent the entire night reading through all 598 pages of this document dump, and it is worse than anyone imagined. Keir Starmer did not just make a bad hire. He actively rigged our national security to protect an elite crony. 🧵👇
@David90shaw Overshadowed by the release of horrendous Henry Nowak bodycam footage. The timing of release interesting. However it just makes his situation worse.
@GBPolitcs This two-faced tit would be calling for the MP to step down if this was any any other party if they decided to take the summer off from their overpaid job. #resign and let your constituents be represented.
@chainyposter@ValToadstool Lunch On! was amazing and by far one of my favourite shows on NHK. I'm really sad it was cancelled. :( It came such a nice insight into daily life in Japan, the culture and of course the food. :'(
@bill_bgt100 We roughly have the same amount of water we’ve had for billions of years, roughly 1.3 billion, billion tons. The only thing that’s changed is the water companies have sold lots of reservoirs and pocketed the cash, so an area that had plentiful supplies now hasn’t. Corporate greed
For decades we were told: "Don't give your personal data to strangers."Now, we're being forced to hand it all over. The Online Safety Act is just a Trojan horse for mass surveillance. 🛑
@TimPascoe@anthonyinglis@TfL Smart motorways are absolutely lethal. I drive the length of the M1 regularly and the unmitigated joy of leaving the sections that are 'smart' and getting back to the 'dumb' sections where I have use of a hard shoulder for emergencies is palpable.
@anthonyinglis@SheffCityHall Welcome to Sheffield! The city is a nightmare to drive around. Gotten many tickets for going down one way streets that were normal roads the week before. The council seem to make a hobby out of making life difficult for local businesses by restricting customers and deliveries. :/
