BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Pross]

My wife works for a Norwegian company.
The Norwegians in the office are quite sad.
It is slightly news worthy, IMO

From my limited knowledge I was under the impression the Norwegian royal family are very popular.

Perhaps the interest in Norway belongs in the irony thread?

Yes. In Norway.

GB News reporting that falling immigration is really bad for the UK economy.

As any Norwegian Wood.

What the F is going on in Middlesbrough at the moment. Some sort of gang war has broken out.

On the night of the crash someone rammed the house of one of the dead boys. Just before the car chase started.
A house fire killing 2 people is linked to the crash.
And now an extra 200 officers are being drafted in from other forces to flood the streets.

Going back to this, who actually thought these idiots that killed themselves and others were worthy of a vigil / balloon release (the latter being a tacky littering exercise at the best of times)? What a shock that it ended as it did.

Are we still waiting for Farage to condemn these hooligans? Or was it somehow the fault of foreigners, and they are deserving of our sympathy?

Other idiots who didn't dead themselves?

The morons that are their parents proposed it.
The ones that said their lovely law abiding kids shouldn't have been chased by those nasty pigs.
If there's a good reason for enforced sterilisation then these families provide it.

This is even more nuts. It's not even tangentially mentioning a proscribed organisation (and that use of the law was already nuts). Seems like any criminal damage using the word 'Gaza' is now terrorism. FFS, get a grip. Charge them with criminal damage if you want. I wonder if the late Janey Godley would now be deemed a terrorist for her description of Trump.

She’d just have to fall back on the legal phrase res ipsa loquitor and the case would be dismissed

Where are we going to get our future prime ministers from?

Well, I guess if they really are unaffordable, then the schools will have to adjust their offering or go out of business.

OTOH, maybe it's just The Times using 'unaffordable' as a plea for the government to help out those poor people who can't stretch to £70k a year for each of their children each year at these schools.
