    That’s not an embarrassing climb down. How did the taxi driver not know his car had a fault like that?

  2. But this sub told me this was more evidence of the inexorable rise of fascism in this country 🤔

    Good outcome. Let’s face it; he’s an ugly mug but also a Nashinole (insert your own swear word) tressure.

  4. I’m just glad that HIGNFY is back for a new series this Friday. They’ll get good mileage out of this.

  5. I was visiting a friend when a huge slab of glass in the roof of their new conservatory shattered with a hell of a bang into tiny pieces. It was a scorching day which may have had something to do with it.

  6. Odd. Why not wait for the finished police analysis before issues press update? It appears they are interested in dampening the story before gaining too much traction. One might have to look at what stories Private Eye has been investigating. Any potential injunctions etc.
