@GWRHelp Any plans for replacements from Exeter to Barnstaple? Surely enough demand for even just a direct Exeter-Barnstaple replacement given the afternoon trains are always full?
This is crazy: Israeli police arrests 2 French military personnel ("gendarmes") with diplomatic status in a Christian church (the Eleona Church) that has officially belonged to France for 160 years and is protected by diplomatic immunity: https://t.co/eA9VO5iEqh
To make things worse the church is located in occupied East Jerusalem - theoretically Palestinian territory - and the arrests occured as the French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot was due to visit it. He cancelled his visit due to the presence of Israeli police on site and the breach of diplomatic immunity.
Yet another unarguable proof that Israel respects absolutely zero rule.
"The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying."
This is a statement from the United Nation's most senior humanitarian official.
She could not be more explicit.
Her statement is barely covered by the Western media.
It’s illuminating that Israel can send drones up close like this to stare Hamas members in the face and yet they choose to drop 2000 pound bombs on crowded civilian areas.
Israel's decision to send troops into Lebanon, a sovereign nation, is not a "limited ground operation".
It is an invasion.
Our government's hypocrisy is on full display. Its failure to defend international law and stand up to Israel is a moral disgrace.
The disaster of water privatisation in numbers:
£78,000,000,000: Dividend payments to shareholders.
3,600,000: Hours of sewage discharged into our rivers and seas last year.
21%: Water bill price hike announced today.
It's time for public ownership.
I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work.
Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.
