Just his hand captured in motion in the first photo in the process of shaking hands in the second. That’s all it looked like to me.

Absolutely and I’d add those to the good core list @iansums gave earlier, especially in the era of AI where they’re essential to stand out in the market. I’d further add: Modern Languages (you need to understand Russian well beyond translation to really understand which Baltic state Putin’s generals are eyeing up. Or to seal that complex export supply contract with the Japanese) Quantitive social sciences and methods (especially statistical analysis) - impossible to make evidence-based decisions on healthcare and economic resources without these skills in the building as an underpinning. I think universities might become more horses for courses in terms of education and research offer.

They used to be, look at the adulation of IBK Brunel and his structures (eg the marvellous Tamar Bridge). Even a university in his name. Architects are well known in the public real pm but it doesn’t work without engineers.

Meanwhile, Channel 4 exposing last night how Christopher Harborne has been breaking the law by voting and claiming that he lives in Highclere in N Hants when he clearly lives in Thailand ensuring East Stand Nic gets regular massages/wanks, and now being investigated by the Electoral Commission as a result https://www.channel4.com/news/how-a-crypto-billionaire-used-gaping-loopholes-to-bankroll-reform More exclusives being hinted at online by the Times about Farage. And he can’t say he didn’t know what George Cottrell was up to https://www.hatchards.co.uk/book/how-to-launder-money/george-cottrell/9781837360406 Reform make Portsmouth FC in the mid-0s to early 10s look spotless by comparison 😂

Flamin’ Nora, didn’t realise he is Reform. No depths, literally, their candidates won’t sink to.

Vince dismissed for a 🦆 on his trip to Utilita 😂 Brave total more like hiding behind the sofa though.

Also reunites him with Tony Mowbray.

This is shocking and pathetic from the Berlin judicial system. Juvenile? He’s a 21 year old trying to join ISIS. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy9wv74qje9o Whilst the courts and probation have the odd brain fart here, this is much less likely to happen in the UK on terror-related suspects. MH is a different story. Ballout should have either in permanent custody as a high security risk or assisted to leave and go to Lebanon.

Unless it’s his in a mirror. People wonder this thread keeps going = answer Russell Martin keeps stoking it (I said stoking…).

Little bit from ABK move from Verona to Venezia as well.

As for Berlin, the suspect was clearly known to the authorities and was made go through the equivalent of Prevent recently. Why on earth was he still roaming around? As he’s German born, he should have given two choices given he’d already tried to joined IS. 1) Stay in Germany in permanent incarceration as an enemy combatant 2) Leave Germany for Lebanon assisted, German citizenship and rights cancelled and permanent ban.

45% down on 2025 and 18% down overall on 2024 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg688pr9z0o That’s what I’d be saying. One pilot jailed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yd7xz39k9o and another 19 year old pilot from Sudan charged. Get them gone on the day release and permanent ban from the UK. Even better, 25 boats and engines each seized at Felixstowe last week which would have carried up to 80 ASs each (and probably more given how reckless the smugglers are getting as the government crackdown is hitting them) https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/25-boats-and-25-engines-destined-for-channel-people-smugglers-seized-in-major-operation-at-felixstowe I enjoyed seeing the photo of the Gendarme blocking a woman with a load of kids getting on the boat over there.
