    Prior to this w,end plod announced a cracking down on dirt zbike riders breaking the law. Yippee.

    Then we read that 50 dirt bike riders were seen, by plod, riding with gay abandon, 5 were arrested. Bloody hell it would be interesting to see a cost breakdown of plod versus arrest, and have we got our shit together.

    Please don't ask for references. I'm not writing a treatise. Dont be lazy Google if you want corroboration

    I guess we now know the Russian response to the Ukrainian offensive – destroy a dam and place a nuclear power station at risk.

    Which can only lead to one conclusion – resistance to conquest of a sovereign Ukraine will result in an effort to make the area a wasteland – a failed state.

    Total war, a crime against humanity.

    Yuri Sak, an adviser to Ukraine’s ministry of defence, tells the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that phone intercepts have suggested Russia wants to target more dams.

    "They’re actually calling to blow up more dams on the Dnipro river," he tells the BBC.

    He adds the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant uses the water from the reservoir to cool down its reactors, but said the situation was currently stable.

    "The UN atomic agency has been informed. For the moment, there is no immediate risk, but of course the situation develops very rapidly."

    Just maybe, the Labour Party should have a compliance officer in the PM's department to ensure MP's and Cabinet Ministers keep their affairs in order. The investment would free up time for the party leader to use his time more constructively.

    In the much ado about nothing category. Apart from a possible complaint to a press regulatory body.

    Someone with an addiction was using a place of employment to fake prescriptions – they get caught and resign from their job. Since then a court case and a sentence.

    However because she was neighbour of Ben Bell and his mum and she (post employment) worked as a pa on his campaign (and he tried to hire her when he became Mayor, but the council did not allow this) media have reported the story and called her his exec assistant.

    who worked as an executive assistant for Gore district mayor Ben Bell.

    National has withdrawn from the Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership.

    In Oz, women noted that the Liberal caucus was misogynist and loved coal, so they formed the Teals, and the Alban elbowed his way into government.

    Who here will note the fart/frat boy boarding school pack nature of the National caucus and spare us their return to government.
