Prince Andrew's lawyers say accuser may have false memories

Court documents say the Duke of York wants to question Virginia Giuffre's psychologist and husband.

Haha, wow

I have to say I quite enjoyed it
Not sure about the ending though

How is this legal?

How is this legal?

Who would it not be?

How is this legal?

They can accept what they want as payment, can't they? And, it's only for Tesla merchandise, not actual cars. The "no refund" bit might be a bit shady but they're bound to have covered themselves.

 

[Aoami]

I mean from a market manipulation standpoint? If this were a stock it would be illegal wouldn't it?

If Tesla or Musk holds a load of coin yes.

So he can pump a "currency" by saying you can buy any old shit we find out back, the dopy crypto bros that buy it can then use it to buy his tat...and he can then sell the currency back to them at even higher prices.

You have to admire the simplicity of it.

Tories have finally managed to kill the BBC then:

BBC licence fee to be abolished in 2027 and funding frozen

Government announcement will force broadcaster to make deep cuts to its programme budgets

Tories should be killed tbh

Right thing, wrong reasons.

We have no need for paying £14 a month for EastEnders and Strictly any more. They have served their purpose.

Like high street chains, they are a thing of the past, 20th century hickup.

Anything worth watching for the limited expectations masses will be picked up buy someone else, anything worthwhile is already available elsewhere.

When was the last time anyone got £14 worth of output out of the BBC a month?

Queue but adverts OMG?!? I've not watched an advert in years, and I am completely legal in my TV viewing.

Texas synagogue hostage-taker was British

The man who seized four people and died in a standoff with police is named as Malik Faisal Akram, 44.

www.bbc.co.uk

"We would like to say that we as a family do not condone any of his actions and would like to sincerely apologize wholeheartedly to all the victims involved in the unfortunate incident," Gulbar added

"unfortunate incident" ?
"Apologise" ?

Why would you feel the need to apologise? What kind of response is that?

Sorry bruv, your brother was mentally unwell and needed help, he had the sickness known as religion but took it way further than what he had been conditioned to think. You're supposed to only hate non-believers, not actually kill them.

Edit, yes I realise nobody died, but same shit. It's time religion was outlawed. Or at least co-educated and indoctrination made strictly for over 21s so people can make a balanced decision on whether someone lives in the sky and judges them.

I hadn't seen anything about the pressure wave on the news sites, interesting stuff.

 

[Raven]

View: https://twitter.com/_TheSeaning/status/1482230175806992391

That's why we avoid news sites

 

[caLLous]

All of the satellite imagery that all of the news sites have been running has included the satellite view of the pressure wave but I meant being able to track its movement by readings from local weather stations. There's an animation (or a series of screenshots) of it passing over Japan and another of it creeping into the USA from the west.

Amazon halts plan to block UK Visa credit cards amid talks

Plans to block the cards are halted as the two sides continue to try to resolve a dispute over payment fees.

www.bbc.co.uk

When blocking half your customers from buying your goods is suddenly a bad idea.

 

[Ormorof]

Heh Amazon pretty much only company big enough to force them to the table, Visa will drop fees just for Amazon probably. Prices will remain unaffected Bezo gets more dildo rocket money

A quarter or less (its only credit cards, not Visa debit), but Amazon seem to have the whip hand here. Visa and Mastercard both have a difficult future ahead as the payments market stops relying on the card rails.

This is why BoJo is PM. He's doing a great job - because we're talking about him, not this.

That's terrible news tbh.

So women are protected if men hate them but men-haters can hate on men with impunity?

Equality? Crime is crime. The reasons for it don't really make the crime worse - it's the crime that's the bad thing.

You didnt read the story...did you.

 

[Scouse]

You didnt read the story...did you.

Which version of it? Read it last night (when the narrative focussed on misogeny). I am supportive of the protest slap downs but reiterate my disagreement to the lord's assertion that misogeny is a hate crime.

Regardless, it's got to go back to the commons.

 

[Raven]

The one that talked about the anti-protest laws getting knocked out.
