    Don't forget "Onward Christian Soldiers" or "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord" among others.

        And Pete Hegseth - USA defence secretary (ex reporter on Fox news with no military experience but lots of sucking up to Trump) has re-tweeted that the the vote should be taken away from women.

          Just stumbled over this, which is pertinent to the conversation:

          Screenshot 2025-11-12 195222.jpg

          Screenshot 2025-11-12 195308.jpg

          I have also got the video interview from that if anyone wants it, but it is too large to upload here.

          The takeaway, however, is this one:

            And the BBC have revised their earlier post, having been picked up on it by Rupert Lowe:

              I have always found Jeremy Bowen just a tad creepy and self satisfied so thanks for that info @Fat Controller.

                I don't know an awful lot about him to be fair, but he doesn't strike me as being anywhere near the caibre of the likes of Kate Adie etc.

                  What's all that funny writing in that link

                  Looks like Russian to me.
                  By the way who or what is Rupert Lowe.

                    I thought Russian, a Russian link?

                    Rupert Lowe is one of those Reform MPs that asks questions and makes statements that he knows dont stand a cat in hells chance of getting a reply.
                    He's embarrassing.

                    Click on the link. It goes to trump talking about his plans for Democrat cities.

                    Mind you, it does have Fox News logo in the bottom corner so may well be a load of cr*p. However, he has sent troops into Portland and Chicago and California so maybe not. Jusge for yourself @pete

                      I did click on it but was confused why it had Russian writing, he's talking but we cant hear him and just some statement written above.
                      I'm not convinced its genuine info.

                        This one is for you @Fat Controller .

                        Our Ontario city of Hamilton had a bus stolen. The driver got off the bus after securing it to take a scheduled rest stop and a person of no fixed address took over and drove the route, with those passengers already on board. They followed the route, stopping to pick up passengers at the proper stops. He made one fellow pay cash because his Presto card had expired. At one point he made a wrong turn but the passengers directed him back to the correct route. The coppers stopped and arrested him after more than 15 minutes and several kilometers of operating the vehicle. Safely. No one was hurt, or even upset. And the bus didn’t have a scratch on it.

                        :loll:what a hoot!

                          You only need to add 2 and 2 together.

                          I have chosen other sources than the BBC, but of course, you can find the same information on the BBC website.

                          ITV says in preliminary talks over TV division sale
                          Sale would be for free-to-air channels and streaming platform

                          ITV in 'preliminary' talks over £1.6bn sale of media and entertainment arm to Sky
                          Sky News understands the main aim of the talks is the creation of a UK-focused streaming giant, as the TV advertising market continues to stutter.

                          BBC licence fee should be SCRAPPED, says Nigel Farage who leads calls from top politicians
                          He argued the corporation should be "slimmed down" to focus on news, and that in sport and entertainment it should "compete" via subscriptions.
