I suspect she (and all the others) will have a comprehensive exit strategy, and a PR and legal procedure ready to roll that she can push the button on at any time to exonerate herself as the coerced narrator, forced to be the mouthpiece for the tyrannical regime that she never really believed in.

Within maybe the first hour of it being reported on BBC news in UK, they had a army spokesperson who said he was extremely sceptical as Trump's ear was still attached and that there were no burn marks. They never showed that clip again.

Watch again. Consider that this is the world's leading news channel. Consider tragic current events. Ask yourself: in relation to everything going on in the world, as a journalist, regardless how trivial this is, will it be controversial to voice my own opinion, or will it offend an ice cream lady?

Owner occupier clauses - I don't know your city, but in UK that term comes with plenty of loopholes.

You showed a clip, to back up a harassment at work claim, of somebody giving an opinion that they don't like ice cream.

You're either too young to know much about Labour or you should probably find out before blindly supporting them.

Any relation to Robert Maxwell? It would explain your outrage.

So that's an example of bullying is it? A reason to end a career because she simply admitted she doesn't like ice cream? Shocking. I think you need to watch more news. There's some other issues out there y'know and not many journalists left that aren't white, male and rightwing to ask questions.

Yes, but mudguards and lights detach from bikes. Having campaigned for 26 years that the scheme should be eligible for ALL working people - not exclude the most in need, should prioritise reconditioned bikes, and support community bike refurb projects, I don't support the current scheme. It's failed

No I didn't approve of it, but it was a cheap PR stunt given far too much bandwidth.

If you think that they've only just started to tank their own party and are relying on a few celebs to do it, I think you need to read up on who Tony Blair is, what he's now doing in Palestine and his old mates compliance in it. That'll tank your party. Corbyn was a placeholder, it's still Blairite.

I that's fairly common knowledge; Jimmy Carr frequently introduces her each on 8 out of 10 Cats as a "Quantum Physicist"

Well, Riley based her entire career on a degree in Quantum Physics and exceptional mental arithmetic. She didn't like Corbyn. Who cares? I'd totally forgotten about this until reading this post. There are real obvious overt enemies of democracy,.. and a few celebrities with odd opinions. Relevance?

I'm going to have to buy a Daily Mail now to see what you're talking about. I never have previously or any other Tory rag but you are free to make your assumptions about me. Who I've worked with, I never claimed they represent the whole population. I'm out, you win.

The issue (not mine, the governments) is that the taxpayer is paying for a loan scheme, not a fair and equal benefit. Actually the people I've often worked with for the last 26 years; actually fairly "normalised" to not get it. Nothing against legitimate users, hopefully something better follows.

An actual benefit that EVERYBODY could access - I would fully support it. But the government isn't giving you C2W, it's a loan - only for people earning above a threshold. People might not repay it, but it's a loan. That's why so many people on the poverty line who'd love to use it, aren't eligible.

I can't argue with that. It doesn't, you're right. But it should have been done alongside this scheme 26 years ago.

It's a salary sacrifice, not a means tested benefit. It unfairly excludes people on the low incomes, it excludes people on job seekers allowance that need it most for essential transport or access to work. I've no intention of slurring people on benefits. C2W is not a benefit, it is a form of loan.

Agreed, I've been campaigning (as have a lot of other people) for this since 1999 when C2W was introduced, but there has been no consideration to change it. What's needed is a wider active travel equipment scheme (for running, cycling etc), ongoing A.T. tax credits and restrictions on car parking

Not sure what you mean by that.

The abuse is nothing to do with, and not a slur on benefits claimants. It's well documented that the scheme is often used for bikes that are never used to commute to work. That is the whole purpose of the scheme; reducing non-essential habitual car use. Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for that.
