  • Injured dog walkers could be costing NHS £23m a year

    Jump

  • Nods saw it somewhere on social media myself. I have an over eager chihuahua I inherited from an ex.

    So gave it a try. Half an hour of doing this he stopped pulling.

    I'm far from an expert.

  • UK: Chinese asylum seeker allowed to stay in Britain because he “cannot be expected to lie” about his support for Taiwanese independence

    Jump

  • Moving to a nation you are not a citizen off is not simple. More so when the nation you are a citizen of is consided an agressor to the one you want to visit.

    But more to the point. No government can force you to. So even if he could. The UK is required to consider all asylum/refugee claims under his percieved risk at his home nation. It's part of the Geneva convention.

  • Or you know. More information shared with the public about the needs of certain pets.

    Hamsters are the worst off. Most have no idea how big the cage needs to be for them to be unstressed. There already short lives are way shorter and stressed due to pet shops not advising the need a much much larger cage. RSPCA says 1mx50cm or larger. Also if you have a Syrian you likely need a larger wheel.

    Pet shop worker are rarely well informed.

  • Climate change turns warm summer days in England into health threat

    Jump

  • Climate change is man made. Mainly from politicians hot air.

    Heck the UK alone has 650 massive methane production plants. Doing nothing useful in Westminster.

    Heck if we seal the building. We can either heat London. Or prevent the cuts to disability benefits.

  • Walks Def. Plus company desire to play. It was known in the 80s that pets reduced blood pressure. Just from spending time.

    'Who are these people?' Masked immigration agents challenge local police, sow fear in L.A.

    Jump

  • Yep, My prediction was more the idea of a first try. Cash and run is normally the type of criminal more willing to try with less planning, etc.

    To work with machinery needs both the ability to move it in a way cops won't notice. So take minimal organisation. Cops confronted with an assumed ICE agent taking expensive machinery are much more likely to draw their own gun then accept it's a ICE agent.

    Stuff small enough to fit in a white van like generators or tools, though. Yep, would just look like immigrants are being removed.

    Heck, could even kidnap Musk that way and likely get away with it with a little thought.

    I am in no way recommending anyone start kidnapping billionaires to help defund trump. (Nudge nudge). Nope you should not do that (very obvious unsubtle wink) .

  • Im guessing it will be a few months at the most.

    Before, some groups uses this to commit/escape from crime.

    Likely to be small scale cash attack on some small cash only but very public business. Dressing like this and confusing local police into inaction. While they bully and cause fear. Someone empties the cash and runs.

    Heck, it may already be happening.

  • Russian MP warns that Moscow will find response to any threat from NATO

    Jump

  • Only if he has been using it to smash windows.

    As far as I can tell. He just uses people who annoy him.

  • Senior MP calls for Marilyn Manson concert in Brighton to be cancelled

    Jump

  • If you remembered the 80s. You would recognise how daft it sounds to suggest folks are less caring about sexual assault allegations now.

  • Armed Forces Minister refuses seven times to say whether UK backs US military action in Iran

    Jump

  • He may know it. But it is pretty unlikely the gov has one given its trump uncertainty at play. Not to mention the news released on legal opinion.

    But no cabinet member is authorised to declare war or not or future attacks on another nation. Without approval of the whole cabinet. So even if he knows it and one exists.

    He is in no way authorised to declare it independent of official channels.

    And absolutely any journalist in a position to ask that. Knows full well he cannot answer it.

    It is absolutely not reasonable. Unless you are intentionally looking for refusal to answer. Because cabinet policy on attacking a 3rd nation is not and has never been released in such an interview. Such things would be officially announced to parliament first. And be an illegal act of treason for any minister to announce in such a way.

  • Armed Forces Minister refuses seven times to say whether UK backs US military action in Iran

    Jump

  • The minister for armed forces dose not have the authority to make the choice. His responsibility is to manage the forces while the cabinet as a whole advices the PM and or parliament on such choices. Depending on the timelines.

    So basically. Asking stupid impossible to answer question Then critical about the lack of answer for clicks. Pretty shitty.

  • Majority of children will be overweight or obese in nine areas of England by 2035, study shows

    Jump

  • Since the 80s all public pool and games areas have become for profit orgs. Often with very questionable business practices.

    This has left low income families in urban areas with very limited options to encourage kids to exercise. On a time per pound basis. Games consoles are much cheaper.

    Returning to government funded gyms, pitches and courts etc. Added to an effort in schools to introduce children to a wide variety of sports or exercise based on them finding enjoyment rather than meeting some specific gov goal.

    Is an infer structure cost that will pay back in multiple way. Not just saving the NHS.

    Nothing against video games. But regular exercise should be cheaper or free.

  • Thames Water lenders demand UK government block campaigners from legal action

    Jump

  • And if the gov listens to them.

    Time to sharpen pitchforks.

    Casino Lights Could Be Warping Your Brain to Take Risks, Scientists Warn

    Jump

  • Yeah. Or at least your willingness to take the risk.

    It can be fun making a set amount of money last as long as poss. When your recognise the fact you will lose. Given it means (at least in the 90 when I last did it) free drinks and once a free room. My ex and I had a good night for about $200.

  • Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis

  • fines etc do not go to the police in the UK.

  • Putin calls situation in Ukraine tragedy caused by West

    Jump

  • As much as I hate the idea the US is a teacher to anyone. Given it's own crappy history. Not that any successful nation really has a right to that claim.

    Can't disagree with the sentiments here.

  • Putin calls situation in Ukraine tragedy caused by West

    Jump

  • Unfortunatly he sees no comedy in that.

    My neighbour nations keep asking to join your defence treaty. How dare you encourage them to want to defend against me.

    Parts of my nation left my predecessors. How fucking dare you stop me forcing them back.

    You don't agree. Wow that window looks badly maintained.

  • Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say

    Jump

  • Agreed. But that strategy did not start until very recently.

    Warnings have been used for 40 plus years alone. With very little effect.

  • Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say

    Jump

  • Warning have been on tobacco most of my life. I'm 53 and remember them as a teen ager.

    Also remember no one really paying any attention. Banning advertising had the largest effect. As it was clear warning while companies could still advertise made no sense.

    Then banning display in stores. Finally banning children born after a set date.

    In no way we're the warning the main cause of the drip in use.
