BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[AuroraSaab]

Obviously she is taking the money and the equity to promote a betting company which, for many, is morally questionable; however, I have betting accounts, so I won't judge too much.

I find the backlash (or viral success) interesting. After all, she is not a sportswoman and she is not promoting sports. Instead, she is doing a seedy betting advert. She makes the point that a number of top male and female athletes have stripped off for the camera and presumably money, and no doubt when they did, that was all about body positivity and nothing to do with overtly sexualising people in sport.

Yes, you have a good point; she isn't a sportswoman and it's not a sports company as such. It's more akin to the many perfume adverts where male and female actor/actresses get their kit off. It is surprisingly raunchy for the US market as IC noted.

I think there is a bit of baggage and history with sports and women that comes into play though, eg beach volleyball players having to wear bikinis, differences in the skimpiness of M vs F athletics kit, and so on, that doesn't apply to other advertising so much.

Two things:

Having two straits closed seems bad

Should I point out the Graun's tyop?

Seems more of leaving an edit part done than a typo.

I'll be interested to see what it was supposed to be, if they correct it. I assumed it was supposed to be 'now', but you might be correct.

Yup, I see that now, clicking through.

Ooh, I dunno, but given the colour of the faces in the photo, I could make a guess, given they are upset that asylum seekers are due to be housed in the RAF base nearby.

Anyway, I hope they've considered the impact of border controls, freedom of movement for them, and trading freely with the rest of the UK.

if the Council had any nouse, the first thing that should happen once the Asylum seekers have been moved onto the base (or even before) would be to invite members of the Parish to come and meet with the Asylum seekers. Come and find out about them, their families, where they have come from and why.

I'm glad the one man takes his rightful place centre stage.

What, and make those brown people seem like humans?

This is what my family did with the Vietnamese housed in a disused hospital. Perhaps it was more popular because they were fleeing notional communism.

Yes its certainly not new. That iconic photo of Tennis Girl was all staged and she's not even a tennis player.

I went back to 1983 and asked my 10 year old self if this bothers me, and I said no.

I think Gov. should turn round and "We will honour the decision from the vote".

No Council refuse collections outside the UK. UK needs secure borders. Those living in the village become overseas residents. Exporting our limited energy to foreign countries, maybe not. UK water companies shipping water abroad for overseas consumption might be challenging, etc.
