    Australia are saying that they won't be touching any nuclear fuel, but it opens the door for Iran to receive similar support from any nuclear-capable allies it might have.

    How are they going to power them then? I know you can run a Diesel engine on vegetable oil, but I don't think they can use coal in a reactor.

    They are saying that all of the servicing/refuelling/reprocessing will be done by the other countries, and that the Australian crews will only learn to use them and service them on the run. If Iran really only wants nuclear for civil use then Russia could easily provide that.

    I know it's been around for months but every detail of this story continues to baffle me.

    Travelling to Blackpool for the sole purpose of a Pot Noodle and self abuse is grim. Her sister seems to think there was one real rape and she was trying to bring attention to it. Her sister's photos were the ones used in court against her.

    I'm a big fan of some of the imagery in this story.

    He said “It was just the one cow, the biggest one. It came up and threw me into the air with its head and then it trod all over me.

    “I was trying to crawl out of the way, but it just kept landing its hooves on me.

    “The dog was on its lead and I’d managed to let it go and it made it away.

    “My wife had one of those plastic ball throwers for the dog and she was hitting the cow with it but it made no difference at all. I managed to roll away from under it.

    “I wasn’t feeling too good at all, I couldn’t breathe.

    I believe so. She's been banged up for manslaughter.

    (3 years because she's a woman)

    All the reports say she just shouted and waved her arms at her.

    I thought it was illegal to ride on pavements. Google seems to say that it is indeed illegal but the police can use their discretion not to punish people if the road is dangerous or whatever. It actually seems kind of a harsh punishment to me for what amounts to shouting and gesticulating at someone who is breaking the law.

    Although some people are saying that bit of path is specifically designated a joint cycle/pedestrian path which would change things I suppose.

    I always thought it was illegal but only total knobheads get arsey about it. Pushing them into traffic is a no-no for me, Clive.

    That shows a bit more. You can't really tell if she touched her, but she certainly "swings" at her which caused her to turn in to the road and get killed by an oncoming car.

    Even if the cyclist was on the pavement illegally (she wasn't) you can't force them into the road like that.

    Yeah looking at that I agree it does look like she pushes her/forces her into the road, which is entirely different. Surprised she didn't get a murder charge if she's actually pushed her.

    It's all about intent. She can argue she didn't intend to kill her. She absolutely intended to push the old dear over. She's half the pavement to move back into but she's already made up her mind to be a cunt.

    The only times it is acceptable to murder cyclists is if they are riding past your house shouting to each other at 6am on a Sunday.

    Or if they are riding in the road right next to a cycle lane.

    Murder in these cases should be both legal and encouraged.

    I know it's not how the law works but a 77 year old biddy trundling along a quiet pavement is hardly the same as Gavin from sales pelting it to work with no regard for his surroundings.

    It probably should be how the law works to be fair. There's a mum that cycles to school with her kid. He's only 4 or 5 and he doesn't exactly ride in a straight or predictable line, yet she rides in the road with him.

    The UK should invest in proper cycling infrastructure. In the Netherlands I can cycle miles without coming hardly anywhere near a car

    Very small sample size but going by my wife’s colleagues, it looks like they’re taking it.

    What are we missing? Mental Health? There must be some kind of mitigating ground for a sentence that light, surely? Because on the face of it the bloke killed a mate for Social Media clout and should probably not be getting out of prison, well... ever.

    Baz's Rory McGrath presented this Bloody Britain series (on topics like Mary I, Jack the Ripper, etc) with godawful animations. The animated characters don't talk but they moan a lot. Still use them regularly in lessons.

    Also seem to recall he got done for stalking, keeping it somewhat topical.

    I've been getting those alerts for ages, they're non-specific as to what I'm supposed to do about said emergency but it's apparently very important to someone that I know about them.

    Tough one this. The ghost of George Floyd is still looming over us but equally, #metoo and feminist movements are close to all our hearts and the geezer has been accused of assaulting a female shopworker.

    The geezer shopping for shampoo in a gang is great bants. As is the mum labelling him as her BLACK son, the dirty race-baiting shambles she is.

    I used to work with a lad that left BHS (where Sir Philip Green stole our pension) for the Army. He was discharged due to his mental health and then rejected by the police for the same reason. When I last saw him he was one of these Street Rangers. If that's indicative of the usual type they get (power hungry but mentally unstable soppy cunts) then I'm just surprised this doesn't happen more often.

    How mentally ill do you have to be that neither the armed forces or the police will have you?
