BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[briantrumpet]

Sky News need a slap in the face. The two, yes *two* Israelis were "killed", while a mere 400 Lebanese people, getting second billing were simply "left dead". I simply don't understand how any news source can justify this.

FWIW, I've emailed a complaint to Sky News about this framing. The more I think about it, the more despicable it seems.

And for the avoidance of doubt, no, I don't pay a Sky subscription either.

Blimey. Central Glasgow, near Central Station, ongoing.

Old Firm derbies really are getting out of hand...

I reckon that's Union Street, so Central will be out of commission.

Apparently started in a vape store.
Wonder if it smells overly sweet?

The BBC is reporting that the station is closed to passengers.

That's not good!

Still, it might get some much needed heat into one of the coldest stations I've ever been in. Every cloud and all that...

Seems like pretty much the whole section of street has been destroyed, which is very sad as there were some beautiful buildings there.

I hope this was a genuine accident and not some mindless act of vandalism/stupidity.

Started in a vape shop, apparently. Latest reports (BBC) that there are no visible flames now and that Central Station's walls haven't been breached by the fire.
