@cra46159 The young can't get jobs because older people who qualify for a pension are still working. Also that sounds like a part time job. Under 18s are in full time education or training. They should not be up at 330am to start work at 5am. Over 18s need full time jobs

@ChkeitaKing @apoliticaleye @tomhfh The design (not the giant water drop) is ti minimise the risk of contamination but you cannot eliminate it. The issue isn't the water coming through it, but contamination on the surface and the spout. Anyone could literally wipe anything onto the spout.

@4sec7 Oxford ISN'T going to be a 15 min city It IS going to have (trial) restrictions for private cars at 6 traffic filters to minimise city centre congestion. People can still get anywhere in the city using the ring road. lse.ac.uk/granthaminstit…

Is the concept of having everything you need within 15 minutes of where you live a bad thing? I’d say no, and actually I’d say it’s a good thing. Where it’s not a good thing is where travel outside your “15 minute city” is measured or restricted. Am I right? What are the negatives behind the *principle* of the so called 15 minute city?
Mr Roy@Yoda001

So Oxford UK is to become a 15 minute city in August. Do people realise what a 15 minue City is?????? Do you realise they need a pass to leave it, even to go to work???? That they are fined if they go over the pass limit. They must have facial recognition cameras everywhere!!!!! Anyone on here from Oxford?????

@GerryThorne @4sec7 Then it's not a 15 min city plan It's just traffic restrictions. A 15-min city is only about putting things where people need them.

@4sec7 The issue is that all these 15 min city plans all start and end with travel restrictions, surveillance cameras, fines, road blocks and lengthy diversions.Never put infrastructure first..shops, schools, hospitals, leisure.. put them in and people would travel less naturally .

@SouthStandPies It is due to his disability. She has many many faults and is far from a great mother. But she seems to have done as good as job as many could with Harvey and the two older kids and if you want to criticise her that it literally the last angle I would go for.

@MegEBrock Agree. I recently cut down although I still drink socially and it really does have an knock on impact on your sleep and how you feel the next 2 days minimum. You don't need to stop drinking. Just be aware that it has an impact, and make an informed choice.

@kirawontmiss I can't afford a 20% tip....its unnecessary and disproportionate. So I won't dine out. Everyone just stops dining out and servers stand around doing nothing for 3.50/hour until the restaurant goes bust too.

Please understand relying on tips is an outrageous way to pay staff. It's not rewarding hardwork or good service. It's just rewarding people in busy expensive businesses. If a typical meal takes 1hr, and a server can cover 4 tables an hour, suddenly they are on $120 / hour

@james_rands I am 47 and I do remember this so would have been early 80s. A sheet of greaseproof, 1 sheet of plain wrap, 2-3 sheets of newspaper to keep it warm, but you would get ink on your hands at least. At some point they changed the ink though. Newspaper didn't smudge anymore.

a bit older than me does remember it. A chippy in Tonbridge used to do it in the mid-seventies and it left mucky black smudges on the fish's batter. Did you remember that detail? Because if not you probably don't really remember fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.

Do you remember fish and chips wrapped in newspaper? That was good wasn't it? Proper British takeaway. Walking to the shop with your Mam on a Friday night - it was either an affordable treat or a luxury few could afford depending upon who you ask. Thing is...

No one wants Parkrun stopped, it’s a brilliant activity, but if there are records or official places posted, it has a competitive element. So, two options: add a fair female only category or remove the competitive element (& have one big gorgeous all inclusive category). However there are many who enjoy the competitive nature who would have a meltdown if this happened, showing us emphatically, that yes, Parkrun is competitive
Claire Hallissey@HallisseyC

For anyone who is still uncertain about the competitive nature of parkrun, @itsafrogslife kindly provided this great summary from Grok yesterday. Most people know that parkrun classes itself as non-competitive, but many of its key components do create a competitive environment.

Why would any company/org have contracts for 40hrs plus guaranteed overtime? If working hours are that predictable the contract would simply be for 41hours? No company wants to be renegotiating contracts like this. It would make additional overtime unaffordable
David Hollidge@DavidHollidge

If someone on £75k/year with a 41 hour week with 1 hour guaranteed overtime restructured the contract to earn minimum wage (age 21+ at £12.21/hour) for the first 40 hours which is £25,396.80 and the remaining £49,603.20 is overtime this would reduce their tax by about £17,000!

Dr Ruby (she/her) jaboukies everything
Let me add, if it as declared not suspicious, that would be backed with evidence and a promise, e.g 'We have cctv and eye witness accounts of their last movements. We are undertaking a full investigation and cannot comment further until this is complete'

Dr Ruby (she/her) jaboukies everything
If three white women, sisters in their early 30s died together at 5.30-5.45am at Brighton Pier, we would have wall to wall coverage, appeals for cctv, doorbell cam and dashcam footage for days. A proper investigation needs to occur, not immediately declaring it not suspicious.

@PaperWhispers They are doing an investigation. They have done door to door They have cctv They have not declared it as accidental. They have simply said no evidence that would suggest third party or criminal involvement.

@coolbanana321 @SCFCJosh96 As were the killers of Jamie Bulger. They were much younger, offended once, and the act involved less planning. I see this offence as having fewer mitigating factors.

@SCFCJosh96 Its not. Read the whole judgement and why the judge is going easy. You also have to understand that these are kids, not adults.

@mostly_sleepy @MrsNickyClark Ah OK I think some cases- Jonty Bravery, the disability is very severe and needs to be considered in terms of criminal responsibility and prison vs secure care.

@AWalkerpr7 @MrsNickyClark She's not saying it's the same condition, she's saying it used to be autism that was used by the defence despite it not causing people to commit crimes. Eg Jonty Bravery (said attack was due to autism), and both murderers of Brianna Ghey (said manipulated by other due to it).

This story is so devastating to me. So it’s ADHD (formerly autism) & low IQ is it? They had had a high enough IQ to separate one of the girls from her phone/tracker,enough IQ to film it,enough IQ to post it enough IQ to stay calm & well behaved in court. I stand with the girls

@janeclarejones I don't disagree But I also can't see how leaving those boys in an environment where are so poorly educated, with no supervision is in their best interests either. Yes they deserve consequences....for their own good. They also need robust rehabilitation which they won't get

This case is completely abhorrent. But the outcome is not unusual. It is the result of the systematic valuation of male lives over female lives. And caring more about the harm accountability will do to men and boys than the atrocious harm they do to women and girls.

How can threatening girls at knifepoint before raping them possibly reflect "a limited understanding of consent"? theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m…

Judges be like "Yes, you raped three girls and staved in the head of a man who tried to stop you, but in your defence you are unintelligent and thuggish, have no impulse control and believe rape is a good thing. So I am releasing you back into society."
