How many Premier League titles have I won then? 🤔

PC Matthew Blades, one of the two policemen who died last week in Middlesbrough along with his colleague Tom Clough, was a Manchester United fan. He'd travel to games with his two sons.
His wife Sarah and two sons will be at Old Trafford tmrw, the boys will be mascots.

Manchester United's players have been warned they'll be banned for up to 18 games if they breath air during the remaining fixtures. It's a new rule introduced this week. It will apply to United, but not opponents.

In the last 24 hours alone we’ve learned the deputy leader of the Greens joined a protest in support of a regime that’s planned 20 terror plots against Britain while their new spin doctor denied Jews were raped on October 7th. The Greens are a major threat to our country.

Just incredible putting these two statements side by side.

Hi mate. IF you post this Could it be annon please.

Units have recently had GD employees on site inspecting and testing the AJAX fleet. They have been 'removing data' and inspecting vehicles. Stating that things like, drivers and commander not using seat belts or sitting in the seat correctly is part of the issue not the vehicle. Stating that they have found bolts loose so no wonder it's vibrating. ( bolts that they fitted, vibrated loose and dropped out whilst crews are driving).
They have been taking vehicles out on 'test drives' with vibration equipment covering about 5km at low speed, gentle manoeuvring on sterile areas then saying they will 'generate' data to represent the millage needed for full testing).
It seems they are currently trying to find every excuse to blame the Users. Their engineers have been commenting saying they don't understand how blokes can be getting sick due to vibration or anything caused by the platform as there's nothing wrong with it.. Yet they won't risk putting their own blokes in and test them in the same conditions and time frames as used by the troops on the Exersice.
The defensive attitude of the majority of GD staff is becoming clearly visible.
It's becoming very much them and us divide.
Instead of helping each other to find the issues and rectify them allowing the platform and program to move forward safely thus not wasting £10bn of the tax payers money, they seem to just want to find a way to blame the users to try and save face.
The guys and girls on the shop floor are awear of all the issues posted by the GD employee, it's all well know by those who have been working on the platform for some time. Units all know some of the soldiers who are working down at GD. They say how much their hands are tied.
There are known multiple vehicles arriving at units unfit for purpose, and unfit to operate due to issues that should have been rectified before loaded on HETs.
Critical vehicle fitted items missing, FFEs not fit for purpose, track issues, camera screen issues, driver / commander seat issues, Coms/Bowman vibrating its self to bits and stopping working, engine and automotive issues.
The list is endless.
It just seems GD don't care, they pump the half-arsed vehicles out and take the publics money.
There is no care for the users Health and Safety and GD just reply with 'well this is what the army asked for'...
The whole sarga is a joke. And if it continues I doubt the platforms will survive the next 12/18 months and GD will pile in... or someone will be seriously injured and medically discharged yet again thanks the incompetence of GD.

Britain needs nuclear power. Our nuclear projects are the most expensive in the world and among the slowest. Regulators and industry are paralysed by risk aversion. This can change. For Britain to prosper, it must.

Earlier this year, the Prime Minister appointed me to lead a Taskforce to set out a path to getting affordable, fast nuclear power Britain.

Our final report today sets out 47 recommendations, among them:

- Creating a one-stop shop for nuclear approvals, to end the regulatory merry-go-round that delays projects at the moment.
- Simplifying environmental rules to avoid extreme outcomes like Hinkley Point C spending £700m on systems to protect one salmon every ten years, while enhancing nuclear's impact on nature.
- Limiting the ability of spurious legal challenges to delay nuclear projects, which adds huge cost and delay throughout the supply chain.
- Approving fleets of reactors, so that Britain’s nuclear industry can benefit from certainty and economies of scale.
- Directing regulators to factor in cost to their behaviour, and changing their culture to allow building cheaply, quickly and safely.
- Changing the culture of the nuclear industry to end gold-plating and focus on efficient, safe delivery.

If the government adopts our report in full, it will send a signal to investors that it is serious about pro-growth reform and taking on vested interests for the public good.

A thriving British nuclear industry producing abundant, affordable energy would be good for jobs, good for manufacturing, good for the climate, and good for the cost of living. And it could enable Britain to become an AI and technology superpower.

Britain can be a world leader in this new Industrial Revolution, but only if it has the energy to power it.

Our report is bold, but balanced. Our recommendations, taken together and properly implemented, will forge a clear path for stronger economic growth through improved productivity and innovation. This is a prize worth fighting for.

Everybody remembers that seminal moment in WW2 with FDR in his wheelchair rolling out the red carpet for Hitler discussing which portions of France he will get in exchange for peace.

Just a reminder that Everton immediately suspended their record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson after his allegations surfaced. He wasn’t even charged, but he never played for Everton again.

Compare that to how Arsenal have treated Thomas Partey…it’s night and day.

It’s just sickening what Russia is doing to Ukrainian prisoners of war. Even Hamas doesn’t treat hostages like this.
