What do people think about this Cambridge Analytica business?
-
Favoured people don't end up with criminal convictions. It is worrying about the nazi pug bloke. The judge said that context was unimportant. Context and intent is everything. It's an attack on free speech which everyone should be aware of. The courts have used 'Context 'in cases of child abuse. It's not on that there should be some parts of the law where it matters and some where it doesn't.

No need for that, I'd send it back when I was done.

A) Apparantly not. I was under the impression that if you'd been jailed for over 12 months that you couldn't be an MP. Turns out that it's only if you're still in jail or unlawfully at large that you can't.

Fair enough, If I come across his book in a charity shop I'll read it and see what the crack is. Do you know if he actually wrote it or it was ghost written like Trumps book was?

Is Tommy Robinson really a champion of civil liberties? If he wasnn't barred from being Prime Minister would you vote for him?

Sorry to hear that mate.

I agree with what you're saying. It it a case of making the best of a bad situation. Keep ahad mate. : Translation - don't let the bastard grind you down. I wish you well Gary.

When faced with this situation, I'd probably just get some dry shampoo and not risk the uncertainty of hot or cold water.

Happy belated birthday and good luck Paul!

I don't doubt for a minute that you have. I just feel that tree stock should be managed differently. Sadly there aren't the funds to do so. I hope you're on the mend/mended.
-
When I was down there, there seemed to be haphazard selcetion criteria for which trees they were felling. Many of the trees could be managed for well over 40+ years. I do have a level 5 Arb qualification and PTI etc, so have a vague idea what I'm on about.
-
There's no sound arboricultural reason to fell that many trees. However the council have got themselves in a bind because they've signed a contract that stipulates that the'yll have 17500 trees felled.
-
I think they moved the goalposts when they started manhandling Grannies. The problem is, is that the figure of 17,500 trees to be felled is written into the contract. Whether it's a legal clause or not is beyond my skillset.

Canny. Particularly pertinent.

I have the misfortune of helping these record their live album in a couple of weeks:

Aaarooooh!

What's the answer then? I don't think that privatisation will make the situation for the end user any better.

You're absolutely right. The prices they (we) pay for equipment and services are far beyond value. Then there's the price they pay for medicines too: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/03/nhs_generics_notaloophole/

It seems like the NHS needs extra funding.
