Foxdiamond Posted 26 July 2023 Share Posted 26 July 2023 I see the consultation over rail ticket office closures is to be extended. I just don't believe there will be staff on concourses or platforms to provide a service that ticket offices provide. Anyway to get pass the barrier you need a ticket so someone on the platform to help with ticket queries won't be much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean as general consensus says he is a nobody this is quite impressive. A brilliant career apparently ended by a moment of misjudgment is rather a shame, but no doubt she walks away with many millions settlement so I am sure that will entitle her to maintain an account with Coutts. Well as I would imagine she'll be well above criteria threshold then yes I would think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innovindil Posted 26 July 2023 Share Posted 26 July 2023 An actor with dwarfism has criticised the makers of the new Wonka film for giving the role of an Oompa-Loompa to Hugh Grant. George Coppen believes the role should have been given to an actor with dwarfism, as there are relatively few parts for actors with the condition. And seperately Dwarf actors have reacted furiously to Disney canceling the seven dwarves from its Snow White remake after Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage called them offensive, saying the decision robs them of work and the chance to fulfil what for some is a dream role. When did getting things right become so difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Although the Oompah-Loompah might be a reference to Grant's acting ability. Edited 26 July 2023 by Parafox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it has given JSO an idea for meaningful protests targeting the right people. A rape alarm/helium balloon in the house of commons or the Tory party conference. Now that's something we can all support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even thing about what you are writing sometimes? Or indeed even read the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicsmac Posted 27 July 2023 Share Posted 27 July 2023 https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/21/europe/italy-lesbian-couples-birth-certificates-scli-intl/index.html "The northern Italian city of Padua has started removing the names of non-biological gay mothers from their children’s birth certificates under new legislation passed by the “traditional family-first” government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni... "....“There is no discrimination against children,” Family Minister Eugenia Roccella told parliament when she introduced the bill in June, explaining that the children of gay couples would have access to school and medical services just like those who only have one living parent." Right. And if the child and that parent both find themselves (for whatever reason) in critical condition in hospital? The other parent cannot make medical decisions for the child and if the "solo" parent dies the kid is an orphan. The sooner folks driven by bigotry often inspired by books of allegory written over a millennium ago have absolutely no say in political policy decisions, the better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
