Why is this on the BBC News website? Shortage of news stories?

In this closeup of the shooting of Alex Pretti:

You can see Alex Pretti being shot at point blank range in the back by an ICE agent.

Alex Pretti's left hand is leaning on the ground. His empty right hand is by his side. Alex Pretti is not holding a gun in either hand and is not a threat to agents.

Horner and Briatore.

Mr. Toxic *AND* Mr. Bent!

And Clarkson a favourite in the garage.

What an advert for Domenicali's PR 'values' of F1?

Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge believed the exact same thing.
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

No surprise. The objective of the Farage cult is to represent and advantage wealth. Farage has openly stated anti-NHS views.

But would this ship-jumping opportunist have confessed to as much 10 minutes ago when he was a Tory?

Makes you wonder what the true Tory plan for our NHS really is.
Reform MP Andrew Rosindell tells the BBC that he "would not object" to scrapping the NHS and replacing it with private insurance

The female carries eggs in a pouch on her back from which tiny froglets emerge fully formed.

You don't often see amphibians pictured with their young like you might with mammals.

Trump one week ago: "It's a good thing for him [Carney] to sign a trade deal. If he can get a deal with China, he should do that."

Trump today: "If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A."

A brief glimpse of active aero with Lewis. A new era!

Really interested to see to what extent this impacts in actual race conditions but the pre-season testing results could be revealing.
