    next week tractor production will hit record levels.

    Did find some Jeremy Kyle style stories that painted my keyboard with disbelief.

    I was on conference calls and when you have to listen to some old fart in a young body telling how yet again we are going to revitalise our business, I suspect it will be the normal secret squirrel stuff, then moving manufacturing to somewhere cheaper, giving my local site more work but no more resource and laying a few people off.

    I'm also doing some DB work which is taking ages.

    The Daily Mail is slightly less damaging than gouging your eyes out which seemed the only alternative.
    This is categorically denied!!!

    That's because they put it behind a paywall.

    this is why I don't read the Granuid

    This is how racism takes root | Joseph Harker | Comment is free | The Guardian

    By now surely everyone knows the case of the eight men convicted of picking vulnerable underage girls off the streets, then plying them with drink and drugs before having sex with them. A shocking story. But maybe you haven't heard. Because these sex assaults did not take place in Rochdale, where a similar story led the news for days in May, but in Derby earlier this month. Fifteen girls aged 13 to 15, many of them in care, were preyed on by the men. And though they were not working as a gang, their methods were similar – often targeting children in care and luring them with, among other things, cuddly toys. But this time, of the eight predators, seven were white, not Asian. And the story made barely a ripple in the national media.
    apologist trash based on racial prejudice presented as journalism.

    Both sets of crimes were vile but a group collaborating is far worse than working independently.

    warped thinking at its best.

    The comments are better journalism than the opinion piece.

    oh yes DM second largest circulation behind the T&B so they reflect the things people are willing to pay to know.

    the 'quality papers' are a real minority.
    What does your understanding of epistemology tell you about your use of the word 'know'.

    BBC is an arm of the capitalist state.
