Britains got talent (Edited)
Do not usually watch this but it came on the tv and I thought as it’s the final May be ok to be fair the acts were actually very good and it would have been hard to choose as all so different Had the usual idiot acts One a Japanese ? Pretend stripper Maybe humorous for a few moments once only if you like that sort of silly act Then another guy from Norway who pranced about in a hiviz jacket doing , well actually nothing . All the other acts were people who put their souls into their acts either singing/ dancing/ acrobats/ magic etc and all very good Well true to voting the high viz guy won another seen once that’s enough act . Quite what he will do at the royal variety show to impress Charles I hate to think But felt so sorry for those who had practiced so hard But hey ho what do I know If that’s what the public wants . Or do they vote just so the worst win or like they keep in the worst dancers on strictly if they feel sorry for them . Just wondered what anyone else thought if anyone bothers to watch it ?
Cant complain or I should have voted
Anyone who did watch it , who did you think should win ? why is it called Britains got talent when there are all these other countries entering ? -

Covid: the government wants to withhold evidence from the government enquiry
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/04/rishi-sunak-must-stop-trying-to-hide-evidence-from-the-pandemic-inquiry Sometimes highly confidential information needs to be withheld from the public because it would be advantageous to foreign powers who wish the UK harm. This is people trying to cover up their unwise or downright bad behaviour.

So much police time wasted. It saddens me. Can you imagine these people complaining when there are no officers to come out when they are burgled, their car is stolen, their child is attacked! Drug dealers on the corner of the street, knife crime at an all time high! -

Thankfully his own Mother raised concerns -
Gun violence in the US has at times caused some to uproot their lives. About 15% say they've moved to a different neighbourhood or city because of it, according to KFF.
Last year, 40-year-old Travis Wilson and his wife moved to a new neighbourhood in Louisville, Kentucky, after moving from Old Louisville where they counted the number of gunshots at night.
"I couldn't imagine how any child could grow up in an area where they hear frequent shots and not be dramatically affected," he said.
But last month, the violence followed him to his new neighbourhood when a gunman killed five former co-workers at a local bank.
Mr Wilson said he sometimes feels irresponsible raising a child in America, where nowhere feels perfectly safe. -
Education, education, education!
"In 2022, 41% of year 6 pupils in England left primary school without meeting the expected standards in literacy and maths – 275,000 11-year-olds, according to researchers at the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) thinktank. That is 50,000 more than in 2019.
It comes amid concerns that the impact of the pandemic, and long periods of lost learning, is being felt in classrooms, particularly among children from poorer households.
The report states that the attainment gap in education – that between the poorest and most advantaged – is at its widest level for a decade."
Your thoughts and constructive suggestions please. -

This incident says a lot about the French
At the French Open tennis this week there was a women's singles match between a Russian and a Ukrainian. The Russian won. At the end of the match they refused to shake hands, which is understandable. But it was only the Ukrainian who was booed off court. The Russian was applauded and cheered as she walked off.
Says a lot about the French and whose side they are really on. -
Virgin Media telephone adapter
Has anyone else been sent one of these?
The VM landline phone service is going full fibre at the end of the month, so customers are being sent adapters so your landline phone can be plugged into your router or hub.
For me that means unplugging the router from the broadband cable upstairs to bring it downstairs to plug in the phone line. So I'm assuming (hoping) the new all fibre phoneline will also carry the broadband.
Will wait and see. -

Freedom to Pay
We wanted to share some good news...
In a huge win for consumers, the government has unveiled new measures to protect free access to cash.
Following the success of our longstanding Freedom to Pay campaign, the Financial Services and Markets Bill was introduced to Parliament last year. This is a crucial new law that will protect access to cash. Ever since then, we’ve been keeping up the pressure behind the scenes to make sure the government delivered on its promises.
As part of this Bill, the Financial Conduct Authority will be given the power to stop banks and building societies from closing cash access services, such as ATMs, if there are no suitable alternatives within a reasonable distance. And now crucially, thanks to our efforts, the Bill will also guarantee consumers can withdraw and deposit their cash for free.
Cash is hugely important for millions of consumers and communities, and with the support of people like you, we’ve been fighting hard for many years to make sure those who are not yet ready or able to make the switch to digital payments don’t get left behind.
Thank you so much for everything you have done in the fight to protect cash. We are so proud of what we have been able to achieve together. Keep reading to find out more about the win here.
