    Here's a small suggestion for the Grenfell Inquiry: stop trying to make firefighters the scapegoats.

    If the govt is prepared to build a number of robust
    empty skyscrapers in the UK, whose sole use
    is for the emergency services to be trained to deal
    with a range of scenarios therein, that is ok with me.

    Because the 5-6 storey high towers I see at fire
    stations (if they are actually ever used) ain't it.

    A music video? I've clearly posted that in the wrong place, haven't I? Nope.
    The whole clip is based on the Trump piss tape, Stormy Daniels and a bizarre appearance by Kim Jong-Un.

    So what? Why does some **** Azerbaijani pop star's song belong here?
    Because he's actually involved in the whole thing.
    Emin Agalarov is the son of Aras Agalarov, one of Putin's favoured oligarchs, who was awarded the Russian Order of Honour.

    Emin allegedly helped to arrange the infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016.
    He's supposed to be the guy that arranged the hookers that were sent to Trump's hotel room in 2013.
    WTF?

    Not if you are travelling with kids, or on a full flight.

    Not when its foggy. Ive had flights cancelled because quote, "two engine planes cant climb steeply enough to clear the tall buildings, they have to fly between them and in the fog that cannot be guarenteed, only four engine planes an take off".

    The problem is landing too.
    With the length of the runway + the dock water beside it,
    buildings are not the only problem if it gets foggy.

    And is it fun to work in the buildings that are on the flight path?

    I suppose it is just as long as they miss.

    Not only do you have the boss to contend with but survival is an issue too.

    Good area to have a pub.

    Andrew RT Davies, lhe leader of the Welsh Tories has stepped down, which has led to all matter of ****wittery from the usual suspects about "Remainer plots" bringing him down - as opposed to him making some exceptionally dunderheaded comments last week about Airbus pulling out of Broughton, lying about how Wales would be flush with cash post-Britait, or him being deeply unpopular within the party for being pro-Westminster instead of pro-Assembly, and then there's the fact it looks just a little bit mental that none of his constituents are able to meet with him as his constituency office is in a garden shed 50m behind a security gate on the outskirts of his farm...

    Oh yes, there's also this...

    City airport is not old HK Kai Tak. :)
    The planes are high above the buildings whether you
    land from the east or west paths.

    The flight was cancelled because of fog.
    In fair weather, why are people talking of City airport
    as though the surrounding terrain is like HK Kai Tak ??

    Is it worth pointing out that there's a place with plentiful CO2 for their beer: THE EU.

    "(W)e are seeing some rogue behaviour from ministers and I don't think that's acceptable" - Priti Patel, who was sacked by the government last year after it was revealed she was sneaking off to Israel without informing the Dire Leader or the Foreign Office to have covert meetings with various officials
