Three teenagers die after car hits tree in West Yorkshire

Police driving instructors teach you to look where you want to go. Once you look at something like a tree, you will hit it. Sadly too common when the car starts to skid. Trees are amongst the worst things to hit. Sad, sad story.

I wonder whether closing the MOD hospitals was such a good idea. There were no waiting lists for military personnel at Haslar!

Expect us to pass 1.5C with a deafening silence from most of our media & politicians.

In 2015 the BBC was forced to gut their BBC News website by Osborne because the likes of Murdoch were complaining that the website was "imperial" and intruding on the territory of commercial news websites. It lost a lot of its funding for journalism. It's mostly just tabloid nonsense reheated now.

There’s already a missile on course to hit the UK. It’s called AMOC collapse. It will take a bit longer to get here, but will kill millions & millions of people & likely end the UK as a viable state.

Journalists, maybe you could ask the government why they’re not on a war footing to deal with this?

If Brexit hadn't wiped £40 billion off UK tax revenue, maybe the government wouldn't be clawing back taxes from farmers' inheritance...

So I just hope everyone protesting against it, also protested with us against Brexit...

Especially as 69% of farmers say Brexit has hurt them.
