  1. These are the houses opposite Headstocks / end of Bagnall Road.

     

    The Care Home was at the rear of the left side building in what was more of the same houses.
    That was run by Southern Cross who went bust big time and the building was then a 3 star 16 room  Hotel / bed and breakfast, but that's gone according to google.

  2. Ongoing incident in the City resulting in several road closures and shut down of the tram network.

    There are multiple road closures in place throughout the city while the incident is being investigated.

    We are asking the public and motorists to please avoid the following areas and plan alternate routes.

    “Please avoid these areas as they are expected to remain closed for some time.”

     



     

  3. Agree with Letsavagoo, if something had have happened and serious injury or death occured there would be questions as to why the Met did nothing to stop it beforehand.

  4. C-T,

    If they can spell and proof read and post new news then they're in with half a chance to beat the competition.

     

    Of course it could be Russian, Chinese or other similar controlled fake / distorted news or maybe an A.I text generator, we'll have to see.

  5. If I was the person at the Beeb, or any other organisation that might have every man (person) cat or dog ready to jump on them for things said by people with an influence, who are employed by the Beeb whether it be direct or under contract, I would have had concerns over the reference to Germany in the 30's not the basic criticism of U.K Gov.

     

    I suspect Gary Lineker didn't think the comment through as it could be interpreted as suggesting that U.K Gov would be planning to carry out exterminations in the future.

     

    I suspect no one else in a similar position criticising U.K Gov has made a similar comparison.

    I too do not follow football and have at best a neutral view of Lineker as a person. However, this row is not about football, salaries etc. It is about Govt. attempts to use their Political control of the BBC to suppress criticism of their utterances, language and policies.

    Very important principles are at stake here.

     

    What evidence have you got the the Government have somehow influenced or worse, the Beebs actions.?

     

    I seen it reported that others think the same but as of yet have seen no hard evidence like copies of leaked emails or transcripts of phone calls between any relevenat parties.

     

    Just in case it's relevant, I've have no allegiance to any Political party, never have, never will have and in the past I've voted for all the major parties and would do in the future.

  7. Yes Mrs B, Lineker is freelance, under contract, but not totally free.

     

    He'll have terms and conditions in his contract about behaviour on and off the screen.

    I doubt the Beeb can or will penalise him financially, depends on his terms, but if they do no doubt it will probably end up in court.

  8. As I don't follow football or Lineker (or any other sport) I missed his comments and only caught the fuss about it after.

     

    The Beeb are in a Loose / Loose situation.

    Wrong if they do something, wrong if they don't.

     

    Regarding the action the Beeb have taken, it all depends on what's in Lineker's contract, something which until recent times would have remained private, but expect a full copy if it to be leaked in the next days / weeks by someone "in the Public Interest".
